Brea Grant (12 Hour Shift)

12 Hour Shift writer-director Brea Grant (Friday Night Lights, Heroes, Dexter) set her horror comedy in the late '90s because she wanted to portray a time when people spoke their minds a little more — and were more susceptible to urban legends.

The film follows a gruff Arkansas nurse (Angela Bettis) with a tidy side hustle as an organ harvester. But one night, things start to go wrong, cops start sniffing around, and loyalties are tested. Y2K lurks in the near future.

She talks with us about her Masters in American studies, bookmarks, and whether nurses think her characters are too rude.

Here's her podcast, Reading Glasses.
