In today's episode, I interview Birdy Wei-Ting Hung, the director of the experimental short film "A Brighter Sunny Day for the Lady Avengers." The film looks at the experience of a young girl in 1980s Taiwan and was selected as a winner for the 2024 Student Academy Awards.
Listen to hear how the film was inspired by two other films, how important formative film experiences are, and the importance of the sound to create the world of the film.
