This week, actress Liz Larsen joins us to talk about her Indie Spirit nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance in ‘The Baltimorons.’ With decades of stage and screen work behind her, she reflects on what it means to be recognized in this category at this point in her career.

Liz shares how she first connected with director Jay Duplass and how the film’s low budget, guerrilla shooting style positively impacted her performance and the atmosphere on set. We also explore one of the trickiest aspects of the role: not falling in love too early with co-star Michael Strassner while building their characters’ chemistry.

We discuss Baltimore’s role in the film and how the city helped set the tone and made everyone feel at home during production. We wrap up by looking ahead at what might be next for Liz.
