Pretty Problems Interview: Kestrin Pantera & Vanessa Chester
22I was lucky enough to cover Mother’s Little Helpers when it made its SXSW debut back in 2019. Watching the film, you can sense that Kestrin Pantera runs a special set, one brimming with warmth and good vibes that encourages creativity. Then I met Pantera and her ensemble, and those suspicions were confirmed. When her next feature, Pretty Problems, popped up on the SXSW 2022 line-up, it was an instant top priority. And now, sure enough, between the film itself and our interview, Pantera continues to prove she’s a skilled director and also an ideal leader.
Pretty Problems stars producer Britt Rentschler and writer-producer Michael Tennant as Lindsey and Jack. Things haven’t quite panned out as they’d hoped and now they’re stuck in an unfulfilling routine, distant from their original goals and dreams. When they’re suddenly invited to a lavish estate owned by complete strangers, they opt to take the plunge and take them up on the offer. A weekend of wild behavior and no limits with the “haves” challenges Lindsey and Jack to reconsider what they really want — including each other.
With Pretty Problems celebrating its world premiere at SXSW 2022, Pantera and star Vanessa Chester took a moment to chat about their experience making the movie. Check out what they told us about the environment on set, how Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts scored a "special thanks" in the credits and loads more in this interview!
