EP 146 | From Stage to Screen: The Story of Greasemonkey

Film is one of the best ways to tell a story. For Miranda Jonte, her upcoming film Greasemonkey tells a story that is not just personal to her, but relatable to many others. She stars as Mara, a woman thrust into the male dominated world of auto mechanics. This podcast is all about sharing the stories of people here in the Bay Area. Today, we talk to Miranda about how Greasemonkey captures not just her story, but the story of women everywhere.
