On today's episode of the Cult Vault podcast, Kacey interviews actor/filmmaker and screenwriter Adam Burke and actor Mike about their indie feature Wet Paper Bag, set at a couples wellness retreat that functions as a coercive, cult-like environment and slow-burn psychological thriller.
Adam explains the film’s origins in a story of an abusive relationship, his experiences starting screenwriting in prison, and research drawn loosely from real-world cult material, aiming to depict manipulation ethically and relatably.
Mike discusses preparing to play cult leader Don Haberman, referencing cult figures and trauma-driven narcissism, and the emotional toll of performance.
The film secured distribution via X4 and streams on Amazon, FandangoAtHome, and YouTube Movies, with DVD/Blu-ray available.
