Director Emily Dhue & Writer/Actress Deana Taheri’s Dark Comedy Short Film BILL: Interview & Film Breakdown

My guests today are Writer/Director Emily Dhue and Writer/Producer/Actress Deana Taheri and their new short film BILL.

Emily is one-third of the Space Fish Productions team and focuses her filmmaking on subjects that feel both urgent and honest. Her work has been recognized and screened by Virginia Film Festival, Atlanta Women's Film Festival and Chelsea Film Festival.

Deana Taheri is known for her roles in "TRANSPLANT", "Blitz", "Piss Party", and for her audiobook work featured on major platforms such as Audible and iTunes with "Peaces" by Helen Oyeyemi, the "Victoria's Highway" series by Crystal Lyn, and "I Was Born For This" by Alice Oseman.

They are here today to talk about their short film BILL. A dark comedic short film that explores power, control, and societal expectations. The story follows a woman who, after years of enduring her sexist husband, takes matters into her own hands by murdering him and turning his corpse into a puppet of the perfect husband. This bold narrative challenges viewers to think critically about gender dynamics in a uniquely humorous and horrifying way. #hollyshorts #shortfilm #shortfilms #darkcomedy #comedy #horror #writer #filmmaking #screenwriter #filmdirector #cinematography #movie #moviewriter #moviedirector #filmmaker #filmdirector #screenwriting #cinema
