DISPEL is a compelling fantasy short film about a young girl who calls upon her favorite television heroine to help her fight a terrifying real-life monster that has ensnared her mother.

The writer and director of DISPEL, Kylie Eaton, was generous with her time in speaking to us regarding the inspiration behind the fantasy short, as well as what went into its production.

She also shares how she recruited the impressive cast for the project - most notably young actress Eris Baker (This Is Us) and genre TV icon Gina Torres (Firefly, Pearson).

Kylie also discusses her involvement with the Alliance Of Women Directors, an organization created to provide support, mentorship, and networking opportunities to women filmmakers.
