Unpacking 'Jazzy': Inspiration, emotion and execution

In our next episode, Áron interviews four key contributors behind the film 'Jazzy': Andrew Hajek (DoP & co-writer), Morrisa Maltz (Director & co-writer), Lainey Bearkiller Shangreaux (Actress & co-writer), and Vanara Taing (Co-editor & co-writer).

The film explores the transition from childhood to young adulthood. When her best friend moves away, Jazzy navigates a profound sense of loss and her first taste of independence.

In this conversation, the team discusses the birth and inspiration behind the movie, the film's emotional core, its portrayal of beauty and optimism during tough times, and the unique challenges or rewards of working with child actors. The discussion also touches on current trends in cinema and the creative process of finding the sweet spot for the runtime.
