Magic Hour: Zoe Lister-Jones (Beau Is Afraid) and Emma Seligman (Bottoms) on hiring women, high school comedies, and conveying pleasure

Welcome to a special Magic Hour brought to you by The Letterboxd Show! Magic Hour is our video series that has lived primarily on YouTube and it features two filmmakers having a conversation with each other. In this special audio episode, actress-writer-director Zoe Lister-Jones (Slip, Beau Is Afraid) chats with Emma Seligman (Bottoms, Shiva Baby). They discuss the difficult jump from indie to studio films, some words of advice from Ron Howard, Adam McKay and Elizabeth Banks, and sticking up for members from your indie film crew when trying to hire them onto the larger features.

Beau Is Afraid concerns a horrifying trip home to visit mother, with Lister-Jones as the mother in psychological flashbacks. And it’s available on VOD now. Lister-Jones also became the first woman to create-write-direct and star in every episode of a tv series which is Slip on the Roku Channel. It follows a woman who can travel through the multiverse via her orgasm. And Bottoms, directed by Seligman, is a high school comedy about two queer women who start an after-school fight club program in an attempt to lose their virginities to cheerleaders they have crushes on. After its premiere at SXSW, Bottoms hits theaters at the end of the summer.
