Show Notes

We’re back from Sundance and have finally had a chance to catch our breath and regroup in Los Angeles! We were so inspired by the festival and by all of the films we saw. First, we interview our favorite film critic Beandrea July for her festival hot-takes and in-depth thoughts on her favorite films. We had the chance to watch some films with her during the festival and loved hearing her takeaways. Next, we interview production designer Tracy Dishman. Tracy designed for Black Bear, which was directed by Lawrence Michael Levine and stars Aubrey Plaza. We loved getting to hear about how Tracy found her way into production design and what her process was like designing for Black Bear. Finally, we interview Jess Engel, founder of production company Crimes of Curiosity, and Myriam Achard from the PHI Centre in Montreal, who both produced the New Frontier mixed-reality experience, Breathe, which uses body movement, gesture, and breath (through biometric sensors) to immerse participants in the story of air. Larkin and Elise had the chance to experience the project firsthand!
