Summary

This summer we teamed up with the good people at Clouds- a new TV series about a guy who creates a dating app after breaking up with his fiance- to pay homage to the Town that birthed our respective projects, Oakland, CA.

This week we're sharing the stories recorded that night. Produced by: Adizah Eghan
