MOM & M

Jena Burchick’s MOM & M: Lake Travis Film Festival 2021 Interview: inserting herself and her camera in the middle of a family in order to make a film

In the interview, we talked about what it’s like to be in the middle of a family fraught with real world issues and problems, etc. with your camera and yet, not disrupting the flow of life with your presence. Jena also talks about trying to capture what was going on with the child in the room, yet not lose the film’s focus while doing so. She also discusses how and what inspired the film growing from an intended short to the feature-length project it eventually became.
