In this episode of She\u2019s All Over the Place , host Katie Chonacas explores the poignant world of Braving the Night , an Oscar-qualifying animated short film that celebrated its premiere at the prestigious HollyShorts Film Festival.   Co-directed by Joshua Kushner and Marilu G. Carranza, Braving the Night utilizes stunning, painterly animation to dive into the emotional landscape of a father living with Alzheimer's disease. The narrative follows Samantha, a young woman haunted by vivid childhood nightmares, whose father has always found a way to join her inside her dreams to protect her. As fantasy begins to blur with reality, the film reveals a deeply moving, circular journey of healing and family devotion. Joshua Kushner shares the behind-the-scenes artistic process of mapping the human mind through animation, the personal inspirations driving the script, and what it takes to launch a successful Academy Award-qualifying run in Hollywood.    Follow our new IG and Substack   Please leave a 5 Star Review on Apple Podcasts and a 5 Star on Spotify.   Your words add a lot of value and support getting insightful education to more creatives.
