S2E8: THE POWER OF WOMEN AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE WITH ALEX CAULFIELD
10:00am - 11:00am
This week we sit down with Vancouver director Alex Caufield, whose latest short film "Me + Her" premieres at Vancouver Short Film Festival on June 14th!
Known for “telling stories that make people feel less alone,” Caulfield flips the traditional coming-of-age narrative by centering the mother’s perspective in this exploration of recovery, trauma, and complex family dynamics.
We dive into their collaborative process with writer Michelle Addison, working with predominantly female and non-binary crews, and how they’re reshaping maternal narratives in cinema while balancing multiple projects including their debut feature What Comes Next.
