Writer-director Todd Rohal and actor-filmmaker Tipper Newton join us to unpack the wild ride of “F My Son,” from adapting a taboo comic into a kinetic midnight movie to crafting practical effects with Robert Kurtzman. We discuss casting at the edges, protecting a child actor on set, navigating love-it or hate-it reactions, and why they chose a slow, theater-first rollout instead of streaming. Tipper shares the story behind her award-winning short “Wildcard” and plans for the feature. A candid conversation about risk, tone, and keeping creativity sovereign in a numbers-driven industry.

Key Topics:
• From transgressive comic to cinematic romp
• Practical effects, performance under prosthetics
• Festival premieres, audience response, review culture
• Ethics and logistics when working with a minor
• Booking a theater-only release city by city
• Tipper’s “Wildcard,” music, and making your own path
