Sibling Bonds, Autism, and Pure Heart: A Talk with the Cast & Director of this Year's Indie Gem HELLBENT ON BOOGIE
Send us a text
In this episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, host Joe sits down with writer/director Vito Trupiano, actor Shiloh Fernandez, and breakout newcomer Alyx Ruibal to dive deep into their heartfelt 2024 film HELLBENT ON BOOGIE.
They discuss the origins of this unexpectedly tender story, the challenges and joys of making an intimate family drama, and the genuine on-screen chemistry that drives the film. Alyx opens up about portraying Quinn, a character with Autism — an experience rooted in her own lived perspective — while Shiloh shares what drew him to the role of Alan, the well-meaning, rough-edged older brother fighting to help his sister chase her dream.
Vito offers a behind-the-camera look at his filming approach, balancing grit, humor, and emotional honesty in a story that recalls LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE.
With great vibes and even greater heart, this conversation celebrates authenticity, family, and the power of telling stories that matter. HELLBENT ON BOOGIE is now streaming on TUBI, MUBI, and Apple TV.
