In this episode

Dave Rodriguez is an experimental filmmaker who stutters. He made his way into filmmaking through the Miami punk scene and his areas of interest include the intersection of stuttering and experimental film. Dave explores the influence of generational trauma and neurological research on his films, notably 'Tartamudeo' and 'Disfluency Circuit.' Both Maya and Dave delve into the unique aesthetic choices in representing stuttering on screen, the challenges of academia, and impactful works by other filmmakers with disabilities, including Reid Davenport with his film I Didn't See You There.
