In this second and final part of our 2021 Louisiana Film Prize review, we’ve got three more fascinating interviews for you. First, we start with a look at the poignant family drama BAMBOO HOUSE, one of five finalists for the Film Prize’s $25,000 grand prize along with winner SHREVEPORT SON and finalists NANA KI DUM, MOMento and PICTURES OF THE SKY.
BAMBOO HOUSE was directed by Jency Griffin Hogan and stars outstanding newcomer Hadley Rinaudo as Jennifer, a young teenager who spends a memorable day with her beloved grandfather (played by Richard Zeringue) as they construct a backyard playhouse. It’s a place that soon takes on emotional significance when a family tragedy occurs. The film is based on Hadley’s own memories of her late, real life grandfather, and grew from a heartfelt monologue she wrote and performed on camera while working with Jency, who is also her acting coach. The monologue served as a tribute to her cherished grandparent following his passing.
Next, we look at the funny crime caper STAKEOUT. The film was written and directed by Josh Munds, who stars in the film as one of a pair of bumbling private eyes sent to trail a vicious killer. As their investigation proceeds, though, some wacky missteps and unexpected clashes with a rival team of detectives threaten to get the good guys in big trouble with their target. Josh worked on the film with his wife, Melissa, as both co-editors and co-cinematographers.
Rounding out this set of conversations is my interview with Aname’ Rose, whose dynamic performance in director Gray Fagan’s musical drama MOONLIGHT DANCER won her this year’s Best Actress award at the 2021 Film Prize. Rose plays Lyra, an aspiring singer and dancer who longs to get away from her strict mom and the boredom of small town life so she can strut her stuff in the Big Easy - New Orleans. When she gets there, her dreams of fame and fortune are jeopardized by the man whose kindness and charity devolves into cruelty and greed.
