Director Sophia Castuera and Actress/Writer Ali Edwards of LADY PARTS PRODUCTIONS talked with our Gadi Elkon about their feature film, AUGUST AT TWENTY TWO.
Cal, an floundering actress, must reevaluate her priorities when she discovers that her childhood “soulmate,” Jacob, has a serious girlfriend, Emily. Feeling unfulfilled by disappointing auditions, pressure to succeed (whatever that means), and failed attempts to reconnect with Jacob, Cal seeks a new companion in Em. As Cal gets swept up in her exciting new social life, she begins neglecting her best friend Bobby, who is becoming increasingly concerned about her rapidly changing focus. As Bobby and Cal’s friendship disintegrates, so does Cal’s sense of self. Meanwhile, her relationship with Em develops in unexpected and incendiary ways.
Sophia and Ali talked with our Gadi Elkon about the origins of the story, the casting process, Lady Parts Productions, working with Gravitas Ventures and much more!
