SUNDANCE 2023 Interviews: AIRHOSTESS-737 director Thanasis Neofotistos

By John Wildman 3 years ago

Let me begin by applauding lead actress Lena Papaligoura, who was awarded Vimeo’s Special Jury Prize for Acting at Sundance. Now, regarding the film – I always have great admiration for someone who makes a well-crafted short film that can lead us down a path, entertain us, and manage to have a legit beginning, middle, and end within its brief runtime. And if you can pull that off by having your camera focused on a single person for the most part, literally a head and shoulders shot for the majority of the short film and STILL keep us on the hook? Well, hat’s off to you.
