SXSW: Grind with Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, Christoper Rodriguez Marquette, Chelsea Stardust, Brea Grant, and Ed Dougherty

Directors Brea Grant, Chelsea Stardust, and Ed Dougherty join actors Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, and Christopher Rodriguez Marquette to talk Grind, a horror-satire about the soul-crushing, bathroom-break-denying, time-loop nightmare of gig economy labor. They dig into how horror lets you take something already happening in the world and make it bigger to make a point, why the billionaire villains still get to be human, and how a rotating room, a matte painter who worked on Return of the Jedi, and a free warehouse in K-Town add up to a high production value indie that punches way above its weight. Plus: chair exercises, wardrobe arcs, worker solidarity, and the importance of tipping your barista. Follow all of Friday Night Movie's award-winning SXSW Coverage.
