Inbetween Girl
Inbetween Girl director Mei Makino watched through a long list of warm and colorful films while working on her debut feature, a coming-of-age film about a teenager s love affairs in the wake of her parents divorce.
Diary of a Teenage Girl,
Clueless, and .
The Social Network?
Steve Jobs? I know it s not what you d expect, she said. But I just think those scripts are so tightly written! I was like, Yeah! Come on, Sorkin!
And it shows:
Inbetween Girl demonstrates reverence for a multitude of filmic lineages. Sixteen-year-old Angie Chen makes sense of her life by drawing, and a Jacques Demy aesthetic is alive and well in her color palettes. And while seeing teenagers speak like Aaron Sorkin characters would have verged on frightening, that influence still feels palpable in some of the dialogue. As Angie, Emma Galbraith moves from wise deadpan to explosive anger and back again in seconds.
Night on Sixth
Like every Austinite, Mohit Jaswal has a love/hate relationship with Austin s most internationally iconic thoroughfare. Sixth Street is one of the worst streets in America, he said, It s awful and horrible, and we all have to do it at some point, but I just think it s fascinating.
Still, the love was enough to spark Jaswal to make free-form Austin comedy-drama
Night on Sixth. Filmed in 2019 (back when wandering around and meeting random strangers was still a thing) it makes its premiere at Austin Asian American Film Festival with a special screening outdoors on June 16 at the Long Center.
Sujata Day reached the breaking point. There was a year during pilot season when all of the Indian American female roles were tied to some kind of arranged marriage plotline, she tells the American-Statesman over the phone last week. “I was just like, ‘Oh my god, I can t do this anymore,’ because me and my Indian American friends growing up, that s not something that we ever experienced with our parents or our families. Although there are some great movies and TV shows that have a plot line like that, it just doesn t have to be every single plot line.”
So, Day started writing her own roles. The Pittsburgh native makes a star turn as Monica Chowdry, a former spelling bee champ turned slacker, in the comedy-drama “Definition Please.” She also directed and produced the film, which will be the closing night feature for the Austin Asian American Film Festival’s virtual/in-person hybrid event this year.
