The BirthRebirth filmmakers tell us all about making a movie about the horror of having a body at Sundance ...
There’s a multitude of reasons horror is my favorite genre, but one of the biggest of the bunch is that often, scary human truths can be easier to process when exploring them via a horror film. That’s certainly the case with Laura Moss’ directorial debut, Birth/Rebirth, a film they describe as one that addresses “the horror of having a body.”
The idea for the film first popped into Moss’ mind back when they read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for the first time at just 13 years old. As they got older, the idea evolved. Here’s how they put it: “I was in my kitchen breastfeeding my child and I looked down at my beautiful darling child's face and was like, I wonder if she would just bite down right now. [Laughs] She had no teeth, but there was something horrifying about the moment.
While highlighting some invaluable members of that behind-the-scenes team, it was no surprise that Ireland immediately pinpointed the production’s medical consultant, Emily Ryan. Ireland clarified, “We call her Emily Medical.” Ryan is a Stanford pathologist who not only took time off to advise during production but also worked on the script with Moss for years. Moss added, “She's college roommates and best friends with my composer, Ariel Marx.
