Upending the Rom-Com Genre with Filmmakers Kimberley and Amy Datnow on their feature Daddy Issues

Giles and regular co-host Lucinda Rhodes Thakrar chat to sister filmmakers Kimberley Datnow and Amy Datnow to discuss their quirky, playful romantic comedy Daddy Issues. Kim and Amy share how they both found themselves in the industry from different perspectives, how they decided to form a production company and how they wrote, financed and produced Daddy Issues, using a handful of crew, a group of UCB comedy actors and a reference book of rom-coms from the 90s and 00s.
