Send us Fan MailToday we're bringing you three Sundance Film Festival short film narratives that explore the darker side of life.Crisis Actor follows an impulsive actress as she reaches a breaking point in her addiction to drama. We sit down with director/writer Lily Platt and actor Sarah Steele to talk victimhood, privilege, and why everyone could use a little therapy. Congrats to Crisis Actor for winning the Short Film Jury Award for US Fiction!Taga follows a Filipino American as she travels to the Philippines to reconnect to her roots, but encounters a group of eco-volunteers who disturb the village and awaken ancient monsters. Director/writer Jill Marie Sachs and producer Louise Barretto join us to discuss the wealth of monsters and folklore in Filipino culture, why they prepared an offering for the land before filming in a remote village of the Philippines, and how "woke backpackers" can sometimes turn toxic.In Prime, a trauma victim joins a utopian farm and realizes she's bitten off more than she can chew. Director/writer Meagan Coyle joins us to discuss why people are drawn to cults, the art of pacing in a short film, and how she went from make-up artist to director.Follow director Lily Platt on IGFollow actor Sarah Steele on IGFollow Taga on IGFollow director Jill Marie Sachs on IGFollow producer Louise Barretto on IGFollow director Meagan Coyle on IGThank you to our sponsor, Standard Deviant BrewingSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!
