Matthew Toffolo interviewed Hamish Sturgeon about his short film "Gossamer," which premiered at the LGBTQ+ Film Festival. Hamish described the film as a drama exploring identity, with thriller and experimental elements, and explained its origins from his own reflections on private identity and the act of making costumes. He discussed the decision to direct and act in the film, the collaborative process with his team, and the importance of the single Hollywood location. Hamish shared insights into working with cinematographer Jesse Aragon to achieve a cinematic look, the challenges of directing himself, and the post-production process. He also spoke about his background as an acting teacher and director at the Margie Haber Studio and his plans to continue creating films and theater productions. The conversation highlighted the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the lessons learned from his first directing experience.
