Summary
"Well, the idea that there was any control to begin with is a f*cking illusion. There's only one thing in the universe we have even the tiniest bit of control over -- ourselves."
Y'all wanna hear an episode about independent filmmaking and telling passionate stories? In a special spooky season treat, The Wives Colangelo are joined by director Clare Cooney to talk about her latest feature film, the queer supernatural high school slasher, DEPARTING SENIORS. Together the trio discuss the horror movies that inspired the picture, the evolution of the "final girl," and what it was like to work with Yani "Paolo Valisari in the Lizzie McGuire Movie" Gellman after years of acting in horror movies.
Check out DEPARTING SENIORS now on Tubi TV or on VOD.
