Kneading Love

A mental health therapist & a stay at home mom become Portland's most unique Pizzaiolos. As the Truong family navigate through the challenges of opening a restaurant, Aaron discovers why he left his private counseling career to begin a new journey creating pizzas. This film is a beautiful story on how a family supports one another as they take on the risk of starting a restaurant, but also leaving past careers behind to form a new one together.
