Festival Mix: A curated selection of short films spanning genres, styles, and voices. (Encore screenings are programming decisions and do not indicate award preference. Schedule subject to change.)

Co-written by Alice and Alice's father, Digging for Freedom is a heartfelt, comedic adventure that explores hidden history in Sacramento through the eyes of a young girl, her eccentric grandfather, and a reluctant schoolteacher. What begins as a playful treasure hunt becomes a journey that uplifts queer stories, honors intergenerational connection, and reclaims space for our community’s voices.

Review:

You both did an admirable job. The writing, direction and acting were very well done. Congratulations!

It's a wonderful fictionalization of a place, Sacramento, the relationship between Grampa Roy and Sophie is heartwarming
