For her directorial debut feature Green, Sophia Takal explores the fraught ground of jealousy and insecurity, and the tricks a mind can play when consumed by both. I joined Sophia and producer/actor Lawrence Michael Levine at SXSW to discuss subverting horror tropes, whilst striking a balance between script and improvisation.
I think that jealousy is really scary, frightening and horrific […] I wanted the tone to reflect the inside of someone who’s jealous but I wanted the plot to reflect real life.
