Ty Cooper Interviews Prize Winners at Sundance Film Festival
By WTJU Rock
Ty Cooper, WTJU Rock host of Cultural Vibes Radio (Tuesdays, 9 – 11 p.m.), recently attended the Sundance Film Festival and conducted several interviews, a few of which are posted on this page.
Below catch an interview with Crisis Actor Director, Screenwriter, and Producer, Lily Platt, and cast member, Sarah Steele. Crisis Actor won the Short Film Jury Award: U.S. Fiction at Sundance.
Jury citation: This short is uniquely brilliant in its ability to balance laugh-out-loud levity with the emotional pain of honest self-reflection. This film is a succinct display of craft in writing, directing, acting, and a deeply insightful depiction of the distorted state of American values today.
Below is an interview with Eduardo Braun Costa, writer and director of The Liars. The Short Film Special Jury Award for Acting was awarded to: Noah Roja and Filippo Carrozza from The Liars.
Jury citation: Rarely do you see performances so honest and natural that they blur the line between fiction and nonfiction in their portrayal. For two young actors we look forward to seeing again who have done just that with their performances, we award the Short Film Special Jury Award for Acting to Noah Roja and Filippo Carrozza in The Liars.
