Video Interview: Haley Elizabeth Anderson – Pillars (Short Film) – 2020 Sundance Film Festival

Date:

Nature’s wrath, individualism, a father-daughter relationship grounded in tough love and the L word are heightened and poetically rendered in Haley Elizabeth Anderson‘s Pillars – a Sundance Film Festival selected short. One of several Filmmaker Magazine Top 25 alumni personalities hitting Park City this past January, I sat down with the filmmaker to discuss how her young lead navigates her transition between childhood into adulthood in terms of visual, sound design and themes explored.
