Director and Producer LA Alfonso, With His New Film "Circus Boy"!

Launching his new non-fiction creative film Circus Boy, director Lester "LA" Alfonso sits down with us today!  Circus Boy is a quietly impactful work looking at the relationship between a circus trainer and his young protege and adoptive son.  The film captures both their artistry as well as the inspiration they impart on both their mothers who witness the bond and parenting between the man and his son.

LA is a genre-defying multi-media maverick. He is the director, producer, and star of his creative nonfiction films Twelve, Trying to Be Some Kind of Hero, The Best Waitress in the World, and Birthmark. He is a film theorist and artist focusing on themes of vision, wonder, otherness, and the self. The range of his work also includes experimental short films, ukulele-inspired podcasts, 35mm street photography NFTs, and large-scale video projection mapping events.
