Substack on Film: Jasmine Sun

A portrait of the writer building a literary community in San Francisco

For our second installment of Substack on Film, we caught up with writer Jasmine Sun just before she convened โ€œevery Bay Area writer/editor/magazine-makerโ€ she knew at a party designed to bring San Franciscoโ€™s disparate literary scenes together. She hosted it with Clara Collier at The Interval, a bar and museum nestled in Fort Mason that's a favorite gathering spot for people who like to read with a cocktail in hand. The film captures Jasmine in her element: soaking in the natural beauty of San Francisco, catching up with a longtime friend, and working the room at the event with the same curiosity that animates all of her writing.

This film is part of a series directed and shot by Nathan Zack on 16mm in the Bay Area. You can also check out the first edition with Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen. And stay tunedโ€”weโ€™ll be sharing more of the Substack on Film series in the coming weeks.
