Episode #41 - Colin Buckingham is an actor and writer who’s worked on Mr. Robot & Sleep No More. He cares deeply about how to improve society as a whole and reflects that in the work he pursues. We held the live event an intimate Fourwind Films studio with a small group of friends and colleagues.
For his short, Colin brought the short he wrote and starred in, November Ninth, a personal tale of being assaulted on the election day in 2016. Colin coalesces his accounts of being bullied for his dwarfism into an eight minute action revenge story that takes place in a Manhattan bar and hence we served our audience beer.
The feature Colin chose was an account of two outsiders going on a roadtrip during COVID that yields an unexpected friendship between a woman who believes in aliens and a sad recluse with dwarfism. The chosen fiercly independent movies were paired showing experiences of dwarfism and living with a condition not fully understood by society. Our audience enjoyed Chinese takeout and a classic diner ham sandwich and fries plate during the screening.
