SXSW: Roommates w/ Ashley Eakin and Kelsey Johnson

Writer/director Ashley Eakin joins FNM along with writer/actor Kelsey Johnson to talk about their short film Roommates, which premiered at SXSW. The film is about two students that get placed as roommates because they're both disabled. While they get off to a rough start, Izzy and Sophia find common ground as they party hard on their first night in college. Do not miss our conversation with the fantastic filmmakers behind this meaningful and hilarious film. Recorded at the SXSW Wonder House, hosted by the University of Arizona.
