A conversation with writer/director/star Britt Bankhead & star Grace Patterson

In this episode, Tony zooms with Britt Bankhead — the writer, director, and lead actor of The Town That Takes — along with co‑star Grace Patterson, to explore the chilling mystery at the heart of their new film.

The story begins with a father whose son vanishes in a remote town. As he teams up with two detectives, the trio must confront the terrifying legend of CROATOAN before another child disappears. What unfolds is a collision of Native American mythology, supernatural dread, and action.
