Ep698: HABIT-Forming with Janell Shirtcliff


Listen Later

Ian talks with filmmaker Janell Shirtcliff, whose feature debut Habit premieres in select theatres and On Demand this Friday, August 20th!The photographer/model/actress/music video director makes the leap with a wild story about three women who masquerade as nuns in order to escape the wrath of a crazed drug lord. Far from the quaint fare of Sister Act or Nuns on the Run, Habit is a candy-colored, hypersexual plumbing of the depths, populated by eccentric underworld lunatics and a main character whose relationship with God is...unique.Shirtcliff shares what it was like writing the movie with childhood friend (and star) Libby Mintz; how she came up with Habit's evocative 90s aesthetic; and what her God-fearing mother thought of the final film!Show Links: Watch the Habit trailer.Keep up with all things Janell at her website.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
