Kristina Ceyton: Causeway Films

Producer Kristina Ceyton reveals what stories resonate with Causeway Films and their approach to film festivals.

Ceyton discusses how she and writer/director Jennifer Kent came to work together on their debut feature The Babadook, how The Nightingale came about, and other features on their slate. She also walks listeners through which markets they try to attend, the process of getting a sales agent and how significant a world premiere at a top-tier film festival can be.
