Episode notes
Carmen Emmi’s directorial debut, PLAINCLOTHES, is in theaters now, after catching a lot of attention and fanfare out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival. He tells Jordan about the experience of getting to break out with a personal contribution to the queer cinema canon, and about all the ways he was comforted, educated, and inspired by another Sundance hit — 2006’s LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the harrowing Sundance documentary The Perfect Neighbor, new to Netflix.
Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.

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.
