Emulsion Episode Eight: The Jag and Intimate Connection

      I have dedicated my offline time to creating The Jag, a new play that runs from June 21 to July 6 at the Brooklyn Center for Theatre Research. Even without my involvement, this project boasts an intriguing cinema-focused creative team: directed by Paul Felten (Slow Machine) and written by Robin Schavoir (The Plagiarists), it blends the lo-fi grit and keen humor characteristic of both artists' work. (Not to mention a certain well-loved actress who provides her voice, albeit uncredited.) If you're tuning into this show, it's likely your knowledge of theater could easily fit on a cocktail napkin. Therefore, I’d like to share that The Jag serves as an excellent reintroduction to the medium and, in a show of confidence, I’m offering a 30% discount with the code FILMSTAGE when you purchase your tickets.

      In this episode, I chatted with Felten about the play’s inception, development, and the emotions that accompany the hours leading up to a new production's debut. I also had a discussion with Familiar Touch writer-director Sarah Friedland about her remarkable debut feature, an acceptance speech that gained notable attention, and her personal experiences on a renowned HBO series.
