In Episode 66, We welcome Diana Porter, who has more than 50 IMDb acting credits and a growing footprint in the sci-fi thriller space. We talk about her newest short film, THE REWIND, which she co-wrote, co-directed, and stars in. Diana walks me through the film’s concept, the emotional core of the story, the production design choices, and what it’s like balancing acting and directing on the same project. We also get into her path from analyst to working actor, her unexpected stunt-double experience for Christina Hendricks, the festival she founded in Massachusetts, and her creative partnership with filmmaker Michael Whistler. Later in the episode, Diana shares two film moments that have stayed with her: the heartbreaking telegram scene in A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN and the unforgettable long takes and emotional ceasefire in CHILDREN OF MEN.
