Filmmaker Bruce Sweeney and actors Gabrielle Rose, Camille Sullivan, and Jeff Gladstone swing by the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to talk about She Talks To Strangers, their smart and crowd-pleasing black comedy currently screening up at the 2023 Whistler Film Festival. Camille is Leslie, a single woman who happily shares her life with her favourite being on the planet, an Australian Shepherd named John. Leslie has a strained relationship with her mother, Staci (that’s Gabrielle, playing Camille’s mom for the third time), with whom she has to bargain in order to take care of John. One day, after hearing some mysterious sounds coming from the basement suite, Leslie discovers that her deadbeat ex-husband, Keith – that’s Jeff – has moved in “to lie low for a while,” and – well, we’re a #nospoiler zone here on the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, so we’ll just say that hilarity ensues (which is no surprise given that this is the team that brought us the equally brilliant Kingsway). In this special Saturday drop, Bruce, Gabrielle, Camille, and Jeff talk behind-the-scenes shenanigans (which include cream of mushroom soup and freezers), true crime podcasts, and being ride-or-die for Vancouver stories.
