Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Boston Underground Film Festival: Miriam Olken director of JAW
Q: What inspired the short and how did you adapt a real experience into a fictional piece?
The short came from a real high school stalker incident; she describes translating that personal boundary-crossing experience into a psychological horror story that explores fear, empowerment, and resilience, while balancing it with dark humor and metaphor.
Without Your Head: Grace Glowicki of Dead Lover
Q: And for people not aware, can you give them an idea of what Dead Lover is?
It's an independent film about a stinky gravedigger who smells so bad she's shunned by others, yet she desperately wants a lover, and the movie blends romance with a darkly comic, improv-infused storytelling approach.
Without Your Head: Christopher Outridge
Q: What was that like editing Tape Me! given the ad-lib approach?
Editing was not hard; it followed the story I already knew as the writer-director-editor. There were many takes, but because I was on set daily, I could piece the flow together effectively and keep the narrative coherent.
Without Your Head: julie Pacino & Lucy Fry
Q: What was the rationale behind shooting on 35mm and 16mm?
Using both formats created texture and contrast: 35mm gives a glow for roaming sequences through the hotel, while 16mm provides a gritty, close-up feel for the more surreal, intimate moments, reinforcing the film's dreamlike yet visceral tone.
Without Your Head: julie Pacino & Lucy Fry
Q: What inspired the project and how did it evolve from short to feature?
It began as a short about a girl trapped in an Airbnb, but as ideas grew, the motel became a symbolic entry point into her psyche. The feature expands that world into a larger, allegorical exploration of memory, trauma, and the pursuit of autonomy.
