Behind-the-(un)Scene: Understanding What Is Unseen
Through an interview with our impact producer emeritus, Qudsiya Naqui, on her show Down to the Struts, we talk about the values that guided the making of our film-turned-podcast, unseen. Featuring a conversation between Qudsiya, our main protagonist, Pedro, and director/producer, Set, the three talked about the shared experience that led them to create the project. They also discussed the role of accessibility as a core value in the filmmaking process and the healing space that they hope unseen will generate as it touches audiences around the country and around the world.
Thanks to our Qudsiya for letting us borrow from her show. You can find Down to the Struts wherever you get your podcast.
