Faith Strongheart: HAVANA and telling forgotten stories

Jared Milrad sits down with award-winning director Faith Strongheart about her short film, HAVANA, which tells the story of a man in 1970s Cuba who is forced to reexamine his life choices when his secret lover makes a difficult request. Faith opens up about her career journey earning a MFA in directing from UCLA and working as a production manager/supervisor on feature films and short-form nonfiction for Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and more; her experience balancing her life and career as an underrepresented filmmaker; and how we can make Hollywood more inclusive, equitable, and representative.
