SLO Film Fest - Oakland's Spencer Wilkinson of Alice Street

Thanks to our friends at FilmsGoneWild.com, we're at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival with Spencer Wilkinson, the director of the documentary Alice Street. The film centers around a mural created by the Community Rejuvenation Project to be located on an iconic corner of Alice street in Oakland, Ca.  But the film encompasses so much more! We get into gentrification, the cultural melting pot of Oakland, immigration, and creating productive solutions to development and growth in major cities. Big shout out to the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts and the Hotel Oakland which are historic landmarks that play major roles in the documentary. And any film that includes Bay Area journalist (and 2 time Bitch Talk guest) Eric Arnold is already a win in our book.
