*Fireside Chats sponsored by Carson and Paige McSailor*
Missy Bell is a filmmaker based in Asheville, NC making films about people who are ready to step off the ledge - maybe to fall. Maybe to fly! She's been directing and coaching actors since 1999 and making movies since 2018. Her most recent project is also her debut feature film, Erased, a tender-hearted drama about a man forced to stop running from his past and ultimately, himself. Over the years she has made numerous short films, all with an element of enchantment. Her life and work both reflect the power of community, magic, and keeping your eyes open to beauty. When she isn't making movies, she enjoys mentoring and teaching others, kayaking, coffee on the porch, one-on-one conversations, and eating potatoes.
At this event, Missy will screen two of her most recent short films: Opprobrium - a dark tale of a woman trapped inside her fear of losing her youthful beauty, and Medication - a femme noir ghost story about a PhD student forced to face her physical shortcomings in order to solve a mystery. She'll discuss how these films came to be, her process, and answer your questions about the films and the making of them.
