Today Kyler sits down with writer-director Misha Calvert and actor Coco Jourdana to discuss their short film, FAULT, which has its West Coast premiere at the HollyShorts Film Festival. Inspired by Jourdana’s own life, the drama uses elite competitive tennis as a backdrop to examine sisterhood, personal trauma, and complex power dynamics. The conversation focuses on how individuals process trauma in radically different ways. Calvert and Jourdana share why they moved the story onto the tennis court, using the sport as a visual metaphor for the tension between the two main characters as long-held secrets come to light. Jourdana speaks candidly about drawing from her personal history and how stepping into the role provided a sense of catharsis. The group also reflects on navigating the festival circuit—from Tribeca to HollyShorts—and why staying active in creative communities matters for independent artists. FAULT screens on August 18th at 2:30pm the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, with future updates shared via @faultfilmofficial on Instagram.
