Aimee Kuge on 'Dinner in America'

from Feeling Seen · host Jordan Crucchiola, Aimee Kuge, Marissa Flaxbart, Christian Dueñas

When Aimee Kuge set out to make her indie-horror-romance CANNIBAL MUKBANG, she knew that she didn't want her lead to be your typical final girl. And in her "feeling seen" pick, we find another female protagonist that is nothing like anyone else in film (and yet, maybe more like a real-life person than most film characters could ever hope to be). It's Patty, as played by Emily Skeggs, in Adam Carter Rehmeier's 2020 sleeper hit (thanks, TikTokkers!) DINNER IN AMERICA. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Adam Carter Rehmeier's upcoming new film, CAROLINA CAROLINE. Follow along with Aimee's next project, Trial Separation, on Seed&Spark.
