    To keep track of the Bay Area’s ups and downs, we started Fogcutter, SFGATE’s weekly column of happenings and events. Every week, SFGATE reporters put down their notepads, close their laptops and hit the streets to explore Bay Area parks, bakeries and concert halls. Our hope is to offer you a brief snapshot of local public life — a break from hard news and a reminder of the region’s liveliness and variety.

To keep track of the city’s thicket of activity, we started Fogcutter, SFGATE’s weekly roundup of events, ephemera and entertainment. Every week, our reporters crawl the city’s sidewalks, studios and shopping centers and write about what they see.

    May 21-If you asked an average millennial moviegoer to name a favorite director, odds are Wes Anderson would be a top three answer. The auteur behind classics like "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" has developed arguably the most distinct cinematic language that exists today.
