A Little Fellow: The Legacy of A.P. Giannini

June 2, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 9:00 pm

A sepia toned image of a movie's title screen. The movie title "A Little Fellow" is in large navy blue text, centered across the upper third of the image. Directly below this is the subtitle reading "The Legacy of A. P. Giannini." A large 3/4 bust of A. P. Giannini is on the bottom 2/3 of the image, slightly off-center. Giannini is a middle-aged man with short messy hair, a large smile, mustache, tan suit, and bow tie. He looks to the right, where an image of the Golden Gate bridge and a cartoon Mickey Mouse are. To the left are the logos of various awards and financers of the film in navy blue. The outer corners of the image are darkened, as though from age.

ABOUT THE MOVIE: A Little Fellow: The Legacy of A.P. Giannini is a feature-length documentary exploring the remarkable life of A.P. Giannini, the first generation Italian-American who transformed banking and helped shape modern California.
Founder of the Bank of Italy, later Bank of America, Giannini made banking accessible to everyday people, offering loans on a handshake and supporting small businesses when others wouldn’t. He played a vital role in rebuilding San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and financed major projects like the Golden Gate Bridge and early Hollywood studios.
Through rare artifacts and expert interviews, the film highlights Giannini’s impact on the economy during the Great Depression and World Wars, and his enduring legacy as a champion of the “little fellow.
