Mother of Flies Co-directors: John Adams, Zelda Adams, Toby Poser

Mickey (Zelda Adams) faces a deadly diagnosis, but she isn’t ready to die yet. Heading into the woods with her father (John Adams), she seeks dark magic at the hands of mysterious recluse, Solveig (Toby Poser) , who has an intimate relationship with death and roots that go deep in the land. For three days, Mickey endures Solveig’s extreme rituals of death magic. But every cure has its cost, and every curse is another’s gift. As buried secrets claw their way to the surface, the veil between the living and the dead begins to unravel, and Mickey finds herself facing dark truths that only the dead and the dying can know. Co-directors and co-screenwriters and co-stars John Adams, Zelda Adams, and Toby Poser stop by for a rollicking conversation on the making of Mother of Flies, the community of family and close friends that make their work possible and the deeper meaning of making films that celebrate life.
