Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie venture to a cabin in the woods (okay, a condo on Chicago's North Side) for an in-depth look at writer/director Michael Glover Smith's Mercury in Retrograde! Smith and star Najarra Townsend talk the guys through the genesis, production, and thematic intricacies of this drama about three couples working through their issues while ostensibly getting away from it all.
From the horror-inspired elements that inform Smith's too-real depictions of modern relationships; to Townsend's taking creative ownership of her character for a crucial scene; to the ups and downs of micro-budget filmmaking, this episode will inspire, entertain, and put Mercury in Retrograde at the top of your "To Look Out For" list as the 2018 festival season ramps up.
