Award-winning filmmaker and actor Rosemary Idisi joins Wayne Ayers to discuss her chilling new feature Glamping, which started as her original short film before winning Tubi’s Stubios Greenlight Contest. In this episode, Rosemary opens up about how a small creative spark about influencer culture evolved into a dark, satirical, and deeply thrilling story about survival, ambition, and the haunting side of social media fame.
She details the creative leap from short to feature-length production, the evolution of her character Olivia, and the challenges of weaving deeper meaning into a suspense-driven narrative.
Rosemary also reflects on what made her project stand out from a “competitive pool of finalists” and how fan support helped propel Glamping to the top.
Listeners will get insight into the mentorship and guidance she received during the Stubios program, and how she’s using that experience to empower other filmmakers to turn small concepts into studio-ready features.
