35 分钟Director Azazel Jacobs discusses his new film, His Three Daughters, with fellow Director David Zellner in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses how his personal experiences informed the film, working with his cast to capture performances against their usual types, and shooting scenes in the same order as they happen in the film to allow the performances to evolve with the story. The film tells the story of Katie, Christina and Rachel, who reunite for the first time in many years at their dying father’s New York City apartment. Over the course of three claustrophobic days, the sisters unearth past grievances, traumas and hang-ups as they learn to coexist before their father’s departure.

I think so much of that for me is through humor.
I find that is an easier way to go to than crying together.
It's like to find a way to laugh, and I find so much of my day functioning in that way of just trying the way that I've connected with friends and loved ones.
It just is through making each other laugh.
The very first film that I made was very straight drama, and another fellow director was like, it's funny that that's what you did because that's not like how you spend your day at all.
Like, it doesn't reflect at all how your life is.
Like, we're always laughing.
