We Need to Talk About Sundance #3: The unintentional intentions in ’Rains Over Babel’
One of the few things the pandemic couldn’t put a stop to was creativity. Our next guest is a perfect example: first-time director Gala del Sol, who began developing her debut feature during a time of great uncertainty.Gala’s incredibly ambitious Rains Over Babel premieres at Sundance in the NEXT section, offering something fresh and new while working within a familiar story and structure.In our conversation, we discuss the birth and evolution of the film, the importance of our upbringing, and how intentional the Dante adaptation was.(Photo credit: Gala del Sol Films)

We Need to Talk About Sundance #2: The search for ‘LUZ’
Three worlds, three dimensions? Not necessarily... However, director Flora Lau’s interpretation of the search for something both on a physical and spiritual level is exactly what we get to witness in Flora’s second feature LUZ.To up the ante, we haven’t been joined by this many guests before, as this time, in writer-director Flora Lau, producer Yvette Tang, actresses Sandrine Pinna and Huang Lu, and composer Mimi Xu.In our conversation with them, the group reflects on the physical manifestation of the previously cited search in the form of a deer, connecting different places and worlds, or how the characters can still stay grounded and ethereal despite the film’s mammoth thematic undertakings.

We Need to Talk About Sundance #1: One of a kind 'By Design'
We could write endlessly about why you should look out for Amanda Kramer's By Design, but we’ll let the film’s synopsis speak for itself: “A woman swaps bodies with a chair, and everyone likes her better as a chair.” Honestly, what more do you need to strap in and watch this hour and a half long film starring Juliette Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, and narrated by Melanie Griffith?!Like all films, there are two sides to the story: one behind the camera and one in front of it. We had the incredible opportunity to speak with both Amanda Kramer, the beautifully twisted mind behind it all, and Mamoudou Athie, one of the actors bringing it to life. From materialism and physical performance to writing for actors and believing in the project you’re starring in, we cover it all.(Photo credit: Amanda Kramer, Courtesy of Sundance Institute | photo by Patrick Meade Jones)

Chris Sullivan visits Soderbergh’s Hollywood in ‘Presence’
Even though this year’s edition of the Sundance Film Festival has just kicked off, today marks the release of one of the buzziest titles from last year’s festival. We’re talking about none other than one of the two Steven Soderbergh movies to see the light of day (well, actually the silver screen), the technically ingenious, thematically spooky Presence!Our guest today is someone who you might know from TV shows such as This Is Us or The Knick, and films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. In Soderbergh’s newest, actor Chris Sullivan plays a husband to Lucy Liu, and a father to Callina Liang and Eddy Maday.Chris not only shares a name with his character in Presence, but is also a recent father of two, who spoke to us about his experience on the project in general, and didn’t shy away from discussing the technicalities of the film in detail either!
