About Me
Global Filmmakers In Ptown (AUDIO)
By Charlotte Robinson, July 05, 2025
This week I concluded our audio montage series with celebrities & filmmakers at the 27th Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF). First I talked with Christine Vachon whose production company Killer Films has produced many acclaimed independent films including Far from Heaven, Boys Don't Cry, Hedwig & the Angry Inch & Carol. She also produced the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce. In 2023 Vachon received her first Academy Award nomination for Past Lives & recently produced Materialists starring Dakota Johnson. Christine serves on the PIFF’s Advisory Board. Next I talked to Sophie Hyde & Aud Mason Hyde about their film Jimpa starring Olivia Colman & John Lithgow that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival & was directed by Sophie. The film is about Hannah (Olivia Colman) & her non-binary teenager Frances (Aud Mason Hyde) who visits her gay grandfather (John Lithgow) in Amsterdam. We talked about the film & LGBTQ political issues in Australia their native country. Then I talked with Michael Koehler who directed the documentary SPIRITUS: No Business like Dough Business which explores the history & culture of Spiritus Pizza in Provincetown, MA. This film is about the rich history of one of the oldest family-run businesses in Ptown highlighting the challenges faced by the business, the LGBTQ community & the AIDS crisis against the backdrop of the conservative Puritanical attitudes in the town during the 1970s & 1980s. I concluded our audio montage with Claire Titelman who’s working on developing her short Remember Me into a feature film. The autobiographic film is about after a series of personal setbacks 40-year-old Claire moves back home to care for her ailing father. Despite her challenging circumstances she musters the courage to re-enter the dating scene. LISTEN
