This week is the third installment of our collaborative series in partnership with Free the Work, which is a curated talent-discovery service of underrepresented creators. Free the Work is a non-profit founded by Alma Ha’rel. Check out their new platform at freethework.com. For our third episode of this series, we interviewed writer and director Sophia Takal. Sophia directed ALWAYS SHINE starring Mackenzie Davis and Caitlin FitzGerald, which played at the Venice Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival. Takal co-wrote and directed NEW YEAR, NEW YOU, the January installment of the INTO THE DARK Hulu horror anthology series. And Sophia’s latest film is the Blumhouse / Universal feature BLACK CHRISTMAS, which she directed and co-wrote. Black Christmas will be released in theaters today, Friday the 13th!
