In this episode of Stream Close Up, Brian speaks with Swedish actor, writer, and director Malin Barr about her short film Sauna Sickness. The conversation explores Malin's journey from dance and acting into writing and directing, her decision to stay behind the camera for this project, and how her experience as a performer shapes the way she works with actors. They also discuss the film’s tense mix of drama, humor, and psychological unease, its strong cast, and the experience of bringing a Swedish short film to festivals including Gothenburg and Sundance.
