Book a Screening/Discussion with director Kevin Bender

After introducing and showing the 26-minute film, filmmaker and educator Kevin Bender leads an interactive discussion about Bonilla’s vision and how he realized it, as well as Bender’s own vision in making the film. He also encourages and educates audience members in how to create and communicate their own vision.


Perfect for Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15-Oct 15), this event is ideal for schools, libraries, community centers, festivals, bookstores, and other venues and audiences. Thinking Grande! has been called ‘a must see’ and is part of the California Council for the Humanities’ California Documentary Project.

San Luis Obispo Film Festival and PBS


Thinking Grande! was shown at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival this week to a very enthusiastic audience. Great festival they've got going in SLOtown. I hooked up with my friends and advisors Gerry and Alice Gaxiola, both natives of SLO. They attended the screening and then fed me pulled pork sandwiches at Mo's and gave me a pick-up truck guided tour of their old stomping grounds.


I'm making plans for TG to be broadcast on public television stations KPBS in San Diego and KVPT in Fresno. Those showings should be in May and June and then again on both stations in September which is Hispanic Heritage Month.
