Potty Talk's "I Love Pus" is an official festival selection of the Portland Oregon Women's Film Festival 2017! It screens March 2, 2017 at 9:00 PM at the Hollywood Theatre with a lineup of other amazing quirky shorts. In conjunction with the festival, the film website We Are Moving Stories published an interview with me. Here's an excerpt: “I Love Pus” specifically came about because I really wanted to get messy and ugly with some of the personal truths about my own body quirks. I wanted to confess some of my really weird habits because I was feeling guilty about them in the context of what I was supposed to do with my body (more on this in your question on themes). I went way overboard to exaggerate my quirks to illustrate them and their stigmas. Why should I be grossed out by my pimples? What ideal am I pitting myself against that dictates that I can’t pick a scab? I made it a comedy patter song because it’s fun, flirty, and palatable. It allowed me to play with real and often very serious issues through the lens that this sh*t is ridiculous, and we need a way to engage with the issues that opens people up. Laughter does so for audiences, and a quirky entertainment piece fosters discussion.
