Ana Pasti’s IN BETWEEN, Andrej I. Volkashin’s SNAKE: SEEfest 2021 Interviews — Three short film directors discuss the awesomeness and not-so-awesomeness of directing children
In the interview, we naturally talk about the challenges and the joys of working with and directing children, including how important it is to “cast” the parents as well as their children. I also have an embarrassing moment where I discover that Ana Pasti actually played the lead in her film and I lamely did not make the connection. We also talk about the filmmakers’ emotional state following the completion of each project and whether they were excited to do the next film or needed to be convinced to do it ever again.
