Sideah is an emerging filmmaker located in Vancouver, BC. She champions for honest storytelling, using vulnerability as an invitation to challenge perceptions. She closes the space between viewer and subject with a narrative lens to create an immersive, emotion-filled experience. In her latest film, Be*long, Sideah recounts a 17-year battle with mental health, starting with a suicide attempt and ending in sobriety. Sideah is here to talk with us about that film. When not filmmaking, she can be found working for her small production company, Mutton Media.
