Utica Native Tells Personal Story Via Film
By EMILY HILBERT
UTICA
Utica native and longtime Upstate New York resident Kim Bass released his second film to theaters nationwide recently. The new movie, “A Snowy Day in Oakland,” is described in a press release as centering “around a beautiful psychologist from San Francisco who ends a stalled romance with her high-profile psychiatrist boyfriend and business partner and opens her own practice in a vacant storefront space on a small commercial block across the bay in Oakland. Her presence turns this predominately African American and psychologically ignored neighborhood on its emotional ear.”
Bass commented on the film, describing how the story “is very personal, as it is based on real people and elements of my early childhood growing up within the Black community in Utica.”
“A Snowy Day in Oakland” is rated PG-13.
