On this episode of Center Stage, Mark Gordon sat down with filmmakers Mark H. Rapaport and Kimball Farley to talk about their offbeat and unforgettable new film, Hippo. Quirky, funny, and deeply unsettling, Hippo offers a surreal yet sharply observed portrait of an American family teetering on the edge of dysfunction. In our conversation, Rapaport and Farley pull back the curtain on their creative process, the inspirations behind the film’s bizarre world, and the challenges of balancing absurdity with emotional truth. If you love bold storytelling that dares to get weird—and real—this is one you won’t want to miss.
