Episode notes

When Aimee Kuge set out to make her indie-horror-romance CANNIBAL MUKBANG, she knew that she didn’t want her lead to be your typical final girl. And in her “feeling seen” pick, we find another female protagonist that is nothing like anyone else in film (and yet, maybe more like a real-life person than most film characters could ever hope to be). It’s Patty, as played by Emily Skeggs, in Adam Carter Rehmeier’s 2020 sleeper hit (thanks, TikTokkers!) DINNER IN AMERICA.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Adam Carter Rehmeier’s upcoming new film, CAROLINA CAROLINE.

Follow along with Aimee’s next project, Trial Separation, on Seed&Spark.

About the show

On Feeling Seen, writer and general enthusiast Jordan Crucchiola invites filmmakers, writers, comedians, and artists to discuss the movie characters that made them “feel seen.” It’s about that instant when a person connects to a piece of art so deeply that they see themselves reflected in it. Every week Jordan gabs it up with a guest about those magical moments when they were watching a film and realized, “That’s me!” It’s an informative, funny, and comforting show about our intimate relationship with movies, the impact they have on our lives, and how they influence our art.
