Slamdance interview with Taylor Olson

Canadian director and actor, Taylor Olson joins the pod this week to talk about his Sophomore film, LOOK AT ME. The film makes it’s premiere at Slamdance film Festival. LOOK AT ME is a fictional autobiography about an insecure, awkward and lonely actor who goes on an unwitting journey of self-love in the midst of an wasting disorder relapse. Slamdance is a community, a year-round experience, and a statement in which everyone is invited to take part. The first Slamdance Film Festival was held in 1995 by a wild bunch of filmmakers who were tired of relying on a large, oblique system to showcase their work. Since then, Slamdance has proven year after year that independent grassroots communities can take risks on bold talent and launch careers that change the industry. Our artist-led community continues to discover and nurture diverse, international creators through various programs throughout the year, focusing on new writers, digital and interactive art, grants and mentorship, DIY film education, film screenings and of course, the Slamdance Film Festival. Slamdance runs from Jan 19-Jan 25. #toronto #filmfestival #utah #director #actor #movie #feature #film
