Switchblade Sisters Episode 116: ‘Bunny Lake Is Missing’ with ‘She’s Missing’ Director Alexandra McGuinness

Episode notes

Bunny Lake Is Missing

We are so lucky to be joined by the phenomenal director of the new film She’s Missing, Alexandra McGuinness. She’s on the program to talk about the aptly chosen movie, Otto Preminger’s Bunny Lake Is Missing. Alexandra discusses the significance of making films in foreign places. She elaborates on unintentionally making her work personal. And she chats about her love of collaborating with inexperienced actors – especially child actors who correct Josh Hartnett when he doesn’t remember a line.

You can watch She’s Missing on streaming now.
