- "Josephine", written and directed by Beth de Araújo, won at Sundance and is now being positioned for its fall release at TIFF
- Araújo and Gemma Chan detailed for IndieWire how they ensured their child star Mason Reeves — making her first film — had the best experience possible despite the film's heavy subject matter of childhood trauma
Why it matters: Films centered on childhood trauma rarely disclose the on-set protocols used to shield young actors from the material's emotional weight. By publicly centering Reeves's wellbeing, Araújo and Chan are surfacing a production-safety standard that industry coverage of trauma-themed projects typically overlooks.
