A Q&A with the co-writer, director and star (alongside multiple other hyphenates) of road trip dramedy The In-Between, Mindy Bledsoe, which was held as part of the 2021 Paris International Film Festival.
Over the course of the interview we talk about making a road trip movie with a crew of four, taking influence from life and illness and adding humour, and finding the right road trip soundtrack.
If it seems like I was mumbling and lacking any form of emotion in some of my questions it’s very likely because this was recorded at 2am my time and I was very wary of my neighbours and not wanting to wake them up (although there are one or two moments where I very clearly forget about this).
However, this was my first time doing an interview of this kind, for a festival/ commission; and looking back at it after a couple of years I’m quite happy with how it went. As I’ve said before, it’s all part of an ever-continuing learning curve – something which we slightly touch upon in regards to filmmaking and creativity in the interview.
