The Girl Who Cried Pearls: An Interview with Chris Lavis & Maciek Szczerbowski

The Girl Who Cried Pearls (2025) is a haunting fable about a girl overwhelmed by sorrow, the boy who loves her, and how greed leads good hearts to wicked deeds.    This 16-minute Oscar nominated animated short was created by the dynamic directorial team of Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski. Alongside my good friend Britt Reinholz-Hobson from the 1001by1 Podcast, we sat down to discuss the power of stories, Chris & Maciek's journey from university to filmmaking, the beauty of stop motion animation, and more.    Follow Chris Lavis & Maciek Szczerbowski on Instagram - @clydehenryproductions   Follow Britt's work on the 1001by1 Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/4SO5TQO7WgETdorAPvyKAN?si=d9ec6100748241c3    Follow the Movie Archer Podcast Network: Movie Archer Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revalmanac/ Follow the show on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/RevAlmanac Follow the show on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/RevAlmanac/ Follow the show on Podbean: https://revisionistalmanac.podbean.com/ Email the show at [email protected]
