Summary

"Earth Mama" had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and received strong reviews for writer and director Savanah Leaf making her directorial debut and the performances from the cast, notably Tia Nomore and Erika Alexander. All three of them were kind enough to spend a few minutes with us discussing their work on the film, what the story means to them, what the experience was like working on a first-time film, and more!
