Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maddelin McKenna
Q: What's next after Mad Rush, and how do you balance taking a break with continuing to build new projects?
I want to develop other projects, take a break to recharge, and then return with fresh energy; producing and nurturing collaborative relationships is central to sustaining a career in this field.
Maddelin McKenna
Q: Was the phone-driven storytelling a deliberate stylistic choice or a necessity of budget and circumstance?
It was a deliberate structural choice to center the narrative on conversations; we avoided text bubbles to keep the audience in the moment and used the actors' performances and voice work to carry the film.
Maddelin McKenna
Q: How did casting come together, and what did Senary Chandrani bring to Meditia that wasn't on the page?
Senary brought a warmth and a humanity that softened Meditia's unlikable edges; she read the role in a monologue she'd written herself, which helped shape the character's depth and authenticity.
Maddelin McKenna
Q: What drew you to set Mad Rush in Melbourne's CBD, and how did you manage to shoot amidst the city's bustle?
Melbourne's CBD offered a perfect embodiment of the film's themes of urban alienation and the pressure of modern life; we scouted for eight or nine months, planned meticulously, and used a small crew with permits only for certain locations to keep things feasible.
Maddelin McKenna
Q: And what was the last film you watched and why did it speak to you right now?
I watched The Cranes Are Flying the night before my birthday because it's always influenced my sensibility, and revisiting it felt like revisiting a mentor; its visuals and emotional honesty still resonate deeply with my approach to Mad Rush.
