Podcaster, actor and filmmaker Dasha Nekrasova joined me from New York to discuss her directorial debut, ‘The Scary Of Sixty-First’. TRIGGER WARNING: the Jeffrey Epstein case is discussed.

Topics discussed include:

- The origins of the idea – how the infamous case served to shape a Giallo-influenced, 70s-esque horror film.

- Why the world is obsessed with the case of Jeffrey Epstein.

- Filming in the locations that the real-life Epstein frequented. The importance of filming in the real-life places i.e. Epstein’s townhouse/the jailhouse he died in – places charged with the ‘aura’ of him.

- Making the film Dasha wanted to – a potentially tough undertaking for a directorial debut.

- Why horror movies can be the best platform for serious social commentary.

- And so much more!

Thanks heaps to Dasha for talking to me from the U.S. – check out Arcadia’s website to find out where you can catch ‘The Scary Of Sixty-First’ here:
