Following the premiere of horror-thriller In Our Blood at Fantasia, I sat down with the film’s director, Pedro Kos, and its stars, Brittany O’Grady (“The White Lotus”) and E. J. Bonilla (“The Old Man”), to have quite the entertaining conversation about the film’s complexity, its heart, and its big twist. Don’t worry; there are no major spoilers.
O’Grady stars as Emily, a young woman who returns to the small border town where she was born to reunite with the mother she’s estranged from. She is joined by her cameraman, Danny, played by Bonilla, who struggles with keeping Emily grounded. But while making a documentary about the reunion, Emily and Danny make a dark discovery that sends them into a spiral of chaos.
After watching In Our Blood, I wanted to ask a few questions that were lingering in my mind. Luckily, Pedro, Brittany, and E.J. were willing to let me pick their brains. I couldn’t believe how kind and funny this bunch was. It was an absolute pleasure interviewing them. But you can see that for yourself in our interview below.
In Our Blood made its World Premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival and is now seeking distribution. I sincerely hope they find it. It’s a film that you don’t want to miss. We’ll let you know as soon as a release date is announced. In the meantime, you can see Brittany O’Grady in the hit series “The White Lotus” and E.J. Bonilla in the action-packed series “The Old Man.” And be sure to check out Pedro Kos’ most recent documentary Rebel Hearts.
