PROGRAM
Stoke Chasers
8 minutes, directed by Jo Anna Edmison, 2020
With a filter that is oh-so-California, this film — which was shot on 16mm film — celebrates young women athletes breaking into sports long dominated by men. They are skateboarders, surfers and longboarders. “Headstrong is a word reserved for girls who break the mold,” one says. “And the mold is to play it safe.”
FOLLOWING THE SCREENING: A Q&A with film director Jo Anna Edmison

Edmison is also the video director of Cal Poly Radio, the manager of a funk and soul band and a freelance photographer for various companies.
