That's a huge part of what the film tries to be about is this conversation about how identity and giftedness or identity and intelligence intersect and are really kind of part and parcel of the same set of stories.
Our giftedness, our intelligence is always interacting with our lived experience, who we are.
So all the identities that we wear every day, right?
And this question of identity has become so
so highly charged in the education system in the last number of years.
And even the whole concept of equity, which has been sort of the driving force of this film, is being called into question in, you know, school districts everywhere.
Great to see you again, Debbie.
I'm so happy to be here.
Sure.
So I am Mark Smolowitz and I'm an independent filmmaker based in San Francisco.
I've been making movies in some way for 30 years.
I'm lucky every day to wake up and do the job that I love.
I work entirely for myself.
So at the end of the day, I'm both also a filmmaker and an entrepreneur who is sort of the engine of a lot of different projects here.
I'm a director, producer, and executive producer.
I do both nonfiction and fiction.
And I'm making a movie called The G Word about giftedness, intelligence, and neurodiversity.
And we are asking a larger question, which is who gets to be gifted in America and why?
And this is my second time appearing on your podcast to talk about it.
Sure.
