Actor Ethan Daniel Corbett joins this edition of EoM Presents to discuss his work in the genre-defying and boundary-pushing film "Astrolatry." The directorial debut of cinematographer David Gordon, this film fixates on the systemic issue of male isolation and the dangers therein. Corbett and EoM Senior Interviewer Thomas Manning talk about the relevance of this social commentary, working with puppets and practical effects on set, and the community to be found in the film festival sphere. "Astrolatry" is an official selection of the Frontières Buyers Showcase at Cannes, taking place May 16–17.
Official Synopsis:
A chronic masturbator’s obsession with a beauty cream model propels him into violent delusions, culminating in an accident that creates a murderous, psychosexual creature.
