Today on She's All Over the Place , we are bringing you a massive indie film exclusive on the exact day of its Cannes Film Festival World Premiere! We sit down with Emmy and BIFA-nominated writer, director, and editor Reuben Hamlyn to discuss his highly anticipated new film, "Sunday's Children ".
 
The project introduces us to a dark, formally playful love story. We follow Dennis (an entitled optimist desperate to become a father) who spends a weekend falling for Kasia (a worn-down realist who firmly believes God warned her never to have children).
 
Reuben takes us behind the scenes of his artistic vision, breaking down:
  • The Power of Solipsism: How our deep desires can blind us to the ultimate autonomy and agency of those around us.
  • Empathy for Flawed Characters: Unpacking the creative resistance to representing "bad" characters, and why exploring their psychology is vital to avoiding dehumanization.
  • The Road to Cannes 2026: What it takes to move from a critically acclaimed, award-winning feature debut like Another Body to a prestigious La Cinef selection at the Cannes Film Festival .
This episode is an absolute must-listen for indie filmmakers, cinephiles following the Cannes lineup, and anyone fascinated by complex psychological storytelling.
