Brunch with Anna Margarita Albelo (Brunch with Bridget, Episode 62)

by
Karman Kregloe

This week Bridget welcomes Cuban-American polyglot director, Anna Margarita Albelo. Albelo is the filmmaker who brought us A Lez in Wonderland, a comedy-documentary about the lesbian mecca that is the Dinah Shore weekend.

Albelo, an advocate for lesbian and documentary filmmaking, teaches Bridget how to mime, reveals her upcoming passion piece, Sweet 15 (think Sixteen Candles with a Cuban-American spin and without Molly Ringwald) and gives some sound advice on how to increase lesbian content in the entertainment industry.  

I'll give you a hint: it involves money and not complaining.

For more info on Anna Margarita Albelo, check out her MySpace page.

    She has great energy and outlook on life. I totally agree with her on how we need to spend our hard earned money wisely in support of lesbian writers, filmakers, musicians, comedians etc...that is my main reason for hanging out on AE...

    Another great show Bridget!!

    this was really great.  Thanks for showing Anna off, Bridget.  A lot of what she was saying about not surrendering our culture for the "we are all the same" requirements of the mainstream is a very important message.  I also love how important she thinks is it to keep it funny.  I'm gonna check out her stuff on the web for sure. 

    Bridget, I like how you ask all these amazing women what their "one piece of advise" is.  your show is awesome!

    Thanks for having Anna on your show this week.  She is not only very entertaining, but she has a very inspiring outlook on life and lesbian culture that is energizing.  Awesome interview.  And I must say, I thought there were no "timeouts" in pillow fighting, unless of course, blood was involved. : )  That said, have a great weekend y'all!

    I didn't even watch this, because I find this woman annoying. I think I'm the only one here, but I just find her to be kind of obnoxious and loud and irritating. I did like the video with Lena Headey however.. because Lena is amazing lol.

    Wow. If you don't have something nice to say...et cetera, et cetera...

    Anna has a great spirit, and though this was a more serious BwB, I find her positivity and motivation refreshing and inspiring.

    saltchuck, I agree about Bridget's advice question, it's nice to hear what each woman has to say each week.

    Hadn't heard of Anna Margarita Albelo before, but will definitely check out her work now, she seems smart and funny and made a lot of great points (though really, nobody deserves mime).
