Episode 11: Fog Beast (Melecio Estrella and Andrew Ward) & Lindsay Gauthier

This week, Coral sits down with the 2021 SFDFF Co-Laboratory team of dance-based performance group Fog Beast and filmmaker Lindsay Gauthier.

Directed by Melecio Estrella and Andrew Ward,  Fog Beast weaves social, physical and aural curiosities driven by the lived experiences of convening and creativity. Lindsay Gauthier is a San Francisco based filmmaker and is also the founding Creative Producer of the San Francisco Dance Film Festival's Co-Laboratory.

In this episode, the team discusses their early collaborations as dancers in Scott Wells and Company and chart the trajectories of their artistic paths that would eventually cross again in the creation of the new CoLaboratory film, Wild. They also discuss the initial inspiration and research for the film and how their collaboration with Sonoma county conservation group LandPaths helped connect them to the land and deepen  the creative process.

Wild will  premiere in the Bay Area Shorts Program at the Brava theater on October 24th as a part of the twelfth annual San Francisco Dance Film Festival. Visit sfdancefilmfest.org to learn more
