SXSW: Brief Somebodies

Writer / director Andy Reid joins the pod to talk about his meta exploration of the blending of reality and fiction in film, with his short, BRIEF SOMEBODIES that tells the story of a filmmaker directing and starring in a feature retelling his own sexual assault. We also go into depth about the critical role of intimacy coordinators on film sets in the eye-opening and vulnerable conversation.
