515. Claire Chubbuck “A Way Home”

Welcome back, Discover Indie Film Listeners. We have a great show for you today! If I wrote fun titles for these podcasts, I just might name this one, “Claire Chubbuck is awesome.” Because Claire is freaking awesome!                                                                                                                   But what I should do is play the normal rules, letting you know that Claire directed the film “A Way Home” that played at the Sherman Oaks Film Festiva   l in 2023                                                                               and took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Featurette – Drama and Best Performance by a Cast – Featurette. “A Way Home” amazes me with its authenticity and emotional truth, as well as the brilliant performances in it.                                                                                                                                                                   In this podcast we get to learn how Claire’s process, Cathartic Realism, is exactly what made this a great film.
