Women Take the Reins With Run Sweetheart Run
Director Shana Feste previously spoke about the female talent involved on both sides of the camera with Run Sweetheart Run. Feste spoke about how she wanted to treat the scenes of violence against the lead character delicately, looking back upon the horror classic Rosemary’s Baby for inspiration.
“There’s a lot of violence against our lead character, and as a woman and a victim of sexual assault myself, I was thinking, ‘How do I shoot this? How do I shoot this in a way that’s palatable?’” she explained. “I learned a lot from Rosemary’s Baby, because the baby in your head was always scarier than any baby that they would show. So a lot of the violence in my film actually happens off camera, and it’s mainly with sound design, which I think turned out really cool.”
On how female filmmakers are making great progress in recent years, the director added, “People are really accepting of women working in genre and telling different stories… I think [the wider conversation] has kind of afforded female filmmakers a lot of opportunities to tell different stories — stories I think we’ve been waiting a long time to tell but people really weren’t as interested in telling.”
Run Sweetheart Run will officially start streaming on Oct. 28, 2022. The film is rated R and runs 103 minutes long.
