LIVE: Filmmaker Ana Gonzalez on her RI Hip-Hop Documentary, “Almost Dope”

Chronicling the stories of 8 prominent hip hop artists in RI from the late 60s until today, filmmaker Ana Gonzalez’s documentary “Almost Dope” is not necessarily a complete history of RI Hip-Hop, but more an oral history of individual hip hop pioneers throughout the decades. 

Gonzalez had musical roots as a student at Brown University, and while playing jazz bass in local music circles, she intersected paths with hip hop artists in the area.

When she met film student Jeff Matteis, they became partners and they would eventually go on to produce the first documentary about RI Hip Hop Culture.

“Almost Dope” will have its premiere screening at The Columbus Theater, Friday, August 25th at 7 pm.
