Leach Bleich, an alumnus of UCSB's Film and Media Studies program, returns to discuss her directorial debut, The Moon and Back. The film follows high school senior Lydia Gilbert as she attempts to transform her late father’s screenplay into a full-fledged movie despite having no experience, no budget, and only a VHS camera. UCSB Film and Media Studies professor Ross Melnick will moderate the discussion.
