Duet is the story of one fateful day in the lives of 8-year-old girls May and Shadmit, who dislike each other but learn that their lives have become oddly intertwined forever.

On this episode of Film Forward, we are joined by Duet’s writer and director, Mika Orr (former LADFF Best Director Award Winner). Mika discusses the long journey with this personal story, filming across two countries, and what she took away from an extended post-production process. 

As always, Mika also provides three film recommendations of work that inspired her in our Gimme Three segment. 

Watch Duet in the Los Angeles Diversity Film Festival from August 5th - August 9th in the program, A Many Splendored Thing. Go to LADFF.com to stream or for tickets.

Recorded live at Silent Disco in The Dome at Coachella Campgrounds on April 21, 2014. The final final set of Coachella 2014!!

DJ Loomer @ Coachella 2014

This set is dripping in psychedelia, a journey deep into eclectic territories of electronica. The setting was perfect, a bushy Mojave Desert location, its 2pm, people had been dancing their asses off since 10pm the night before, and now its time for Treavor to dive deep into the slower grooves oozing in mystical soundscapes and grounding tribal vibes!!!
