Sasha Calle, Residente Interview: Making Their Sundance Gem In the Summers
21Alessandra Lacorazza's feature directorial debut, In the Summers, rocks one of the best ensembles of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Stellar actors are vital to the success of any film, but given the narrative structure of In the Summers and the vast period of time it covers, it was of the utmost importance that the ideal group was assembled, and Lacorazza and casting director Stephanie Yankwitt absolutely knock it out of the park in that respect.
Inspired by Lacorazza's own life, In the Summers follows sisters, Violeta (Lío Mehiel, Kimaya Thais Limòn and Dreya Renae Castillo) and Eva (Sasha Calle, Allison Salinas and Luciana Quinonez), as they visit their father (René Pérez Joglar) in Las Cruces, New Mexico during the summers throughout their childhood and into their young adult years.
It's a beautifully scripted and acted piece that received the praise it deserved at the festival. Not only did In the Summers take home the U.S. Grand Jury Prize, but Lacorazza also won the U.S. Dramatic Directing Award, an extremely well-earned honor given the storytelling challenges that come with chronicling the lives of three individuals over many years with just 98 minutes of screen time.
While in Park City celebrating the film's big debut, Lacorazza, Mehiel, Calle, Joglar, and Leslie Grace all took the time to visit the Collider interview studio brought to you by Film.io to revisit their experience bringing Lacorazza's script to screen. Check out this video interview to learn all about why Joglar opted to make his acting debut with In the Summers, how Lacorazza used the filmmaking experience to better understand her father, and loads more.
