Rasha and Carter talk to Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe about their now Oscar-winning short film Two Distant Strangers. The short is a powerful dramatic take on police violence in the US, putting its main character in an endlessly repeating day where he is shot, again and again, by a white cop, no matter what he does. From how they got the script done in record time to filming in time of a pandemic and dealing with such a painful topic, Travon and Martin spoil us with a wealth of insight into their filmmaking process.
