Jennifer Lafleur: The Duplass Brothers Indie Darling
Description
Today, we are joined by actor and producer Jennifer LaFleur. She was recently in the HULU original film THE DROP and, just this past weekend, the psychological horror film she also co-produced, BIRTHRITE, directed by Ross Partridge.
In a blast from the past, Jen and I met in 2011 on the set of a feature film where I was shadowing the producer. It's a gentle reminder of how much the path zigs and zags.
During our chat, Jen shares how she turned her Massachusetts hometown into a movie set for her latest film BIRTHRITE, why the Duplass Brothers' "you are the cavalry" philosophy changed her career, and what her ER doctor father taught her about perspective when film locations fall through days before shooting.
Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, working parent, or anyone trying to build something meaningful, Jen's story offers practical wisdom about creating opportunities, leveraging what you already have, and showing up as your best self - because you never know when a brief encounter will change your life years later.
BIRTHRITE is playing in limited theaters in Los Angeles now!
