Writer/Director Christopher Ryan Laughter is joined by producer Nicole Castillo and actor Claire Dellamar to discuss the making of their grief based horror short film “The Birthday”. Host Kevin Rosen-Quan and guests discuss memories of producing this highly collaborative weekend getaway style film in 2015 which ultimately led to the birth of Assorted Kinds, actors taking a leap of faith, experimental storytelling through prompts, the editing nightmare, the lessons we learned through Avatar and The Lion King, our love of Shia Labeouf and Will Smith, and our opinions on a bunch of random filmmaking stuff.
