In this fun episode, Joyce meets up with writing/directing team Sonya Chwyl and Anik Desmarais-Spencer. Their latest short horror comedy Slip poses a sadly relatable question for these inflationary times: “How far will you go to keep your shitty rental?” 

Slip just won Audience Choice at this year’s Short Circuit Pacific Film Festival and you can watch it on the big screen for free in Regina, Ottawa and St. John’s as part of Short Circuit’s 2023 National Tour.  Anik and Sonya’s last film Baby Teeth won Outstanding BC Film in  Short Circuit’s 2020 festival and both films have screened in festivals US and Canada wide. 

Listen up as this dynamic duo not only “dissects” the glory—and the gory—of using fake blood on screen, they also share:

·      What they learned from previous films.

·      Why, for them, co-directing is like "being in a solid, committed relationship.”

·      What they did to get a corpse’s POV shot for Baby Teeth.
