Episode Twenty Nine: A Braided Mindf**k with Mitzi Peirone & Sarah Hay

Fan Wonderland talks to Braid Director, Writer & Producer Mitzi Peirone and Braid star Sarah Hay.

TJ, Mitzi and Sarah discuss how Braid came to be, becoming the first film to be funded by cryptocurrency and how Mitzi and the cast dealt with the backlash surrounding it, as well as how a young director like Mitzi has an approach that is exciting and unique.

Mitzi discusses her film, directing and writing style and why Mitzi approached Braid “differently” to most other films and what Hollywood would consider “normal”. Mitzi also discusses how she cast Madeline Brewer, Sarah Hay and Imogen Waterhouse, and Imogen’s completely insane performance in Braid compared to her work on The Outpost.

Sarah discusses how she prepared for her role in Braid, as well as her previous roles such as working alongside Natalie Portman in Black Swan, as well as working with Mitzi on Braid.

Braid has a limited cinematic release in the United States and is being distributed globally by Blue Fox Entertainment. (Currently only available for purchase in USA & Russia as of February 5, 2019)
