Sanctuary

SANCTUARY
(13 min) Guatemala/US


FRIDAY 10/21, 6:30 PM (SESSION 3)

Directors/Producers: Jonathan Shepard, Josiah Spence

Description:

A Guatemalan asylum seeker and her son find sanctuary in a church in Central Texas... for six years.

Biographies:

Jonathan Shepard is a documentary filmmaker and outdoor enthusiast from Austin, Texas. Excerpts from his last documentary short, The Sharecroppers, were featured on John Oliver's Last Week Tonight in 2015. Jonathan makes his living analyzing and telling stories with data and spends much of his free time galavanting around like he owns the place.

Josiah Spence lacks focus in his life and, as a result, is a professor, filmmaker, musician, armchair philosopher, and graphic designer, among other lesser diversions. He hangs his hat in Texas and hangs his head when he lacks the time to pursue all of the above simultaneously.
