We are live, on-location at the TCL Chinese Theatre for AFI FEST 2023 (https://fest.afi.com) as the official podcast partner. These shorter, special episodes are with selected filmmakers.

In this episode we interview Bren Cukier (writer/director) & Marianna Zydek (lead actress) for their film “Thursday”. They discuss navigating the nuances of the contentious topic of abortion and all the prep that went into the film. The obstacles they faced (like their DP getting in a major accident right before shooting).
