Here’s an interview I did with Zoe Kazan, the star of Bradley Rust Gray’s spare, no-frills drama, The Exploding Girl. Kazan, who won a best actress award at The Tribeca Film Festival for the film, plays a girl struggling with her epilepsy, and so Zoe and I discussed how to keep her emotions in check, why she might wear pigtails for more than practical reasons, and shooting an entire film with long lenses, amongst other things. The interview is a shade under 8 minutes and the self-indulgence I pride myself on is in full effect.
