Austin filmmaker Shana Feste on her MeToo thriller with a twist, RunSweetheart.
If you just known Shana Feste from soft-focus crowd pleasers like. But it's less of a shock to anyone that actually knows her."People who have seen the film or read the script say, 'This feels more like you than any of your other work.", played Sundance in 2009, Feste started being offered director gigs in that vein. She actually had a genre script about a family of bank robbers ready to go"but it wasn't getting any traction, so I made.
If the name of the film sounds familiar, it's not a surprise since it debuted at Sundance in 2020. Feste, a UT grad, actually moved back to Austin and has been living here and immersing herself in the film community for the last 18 months: and like every other filmmaker at that year's Sundance, she found herself in pandemic limbo. The original plan was a release by Universal that May, but Feste said she quickly realized that wasn't going to happen.
Unscathed, but not unchanged. One perk of the delayed release and the shift in distributors was that Amazon provided a budget for reshoots. Her initial response, like that of any filmmaker, was a sinking feeling but then she met producer Effie Brown,"and she's just a powerhouse producer. She said, 'Shana, this movie is so timely, and I know you want it to speak to all women, and right now I want it to feel more authentic to a Black woman's experience.
