ABOUT Beyond Blood
In Beyond Blood, filmmaker and poet Tiffany Fuller retraces her life through the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood, unraveling the complexities of identity, family, and love beyond blood ties. Raised by her aunt in the foster care system, Tiffany grapples with the haunting legacy of drug addiction, an absent mother, and less than perfect figures claiming to be her fathers. As she navigates the streets of Bayview—her family’s home for generations and the former epicenter of San Francisco’s Black community—the documentary becomes an emotional exploration of shared experiences, resilience, and the universal yearning for love and belonging in the face of abandonment.

ABOUT NARRATIVE SHIFT
With support from the Dream Keeper Initiative and the Human Rights Commission, Narrative Shift lifts up unseen, untold stories from San Francisco’s Black community—people and organizations too often mis- or underrepresented in mainstream news and storytelling. The suite of projects includes video diaries, short films, dance and theater projects and more. Narrative Shift puts storytelling tools (filming, recording, interviewing, etc) directly in the hands of those from communities most directly impacted by historic and cultural exclusion.
