SBIFF World Premiere of "Better Together"

Community makes the difference Screenings include a Q&A with the director Better Together Trailer: https://vimeo.com/312615053 The 1969 Santa Barbara Oil Spill inspired Earth Day, the EPA, Environmental Studies and protections, plus a host of nonprofits that provide strength and resilience to Santa Barbara and beyond, including through oil, mud and fire. From citizens and community leaders of that first spill to survivors, new groups and leaders, Santa Barbara celebrates five decades generating community solutions. This love letter to Santa Barbara was directed by local filmmaker Isaac Hernandez, and produced by Nancy Black of Mercury Press International. The film was funded in part by Gerry and Bobbie Rubin. Executive Producers are Lynda Weinman (Diving Deep, 2019; The Tale, 2018; Unrest, 2017), Leslie Bhutani (Lutah, 2014), and Linda and Frederick Gluck. Associate Producers include the Zegar Family Fund and Santa Barbara Foundation. See our site for sponsors and friends of the film. There will be a second screening on Saturday, 2/2 at 8:20 am at Metro 4.
