Interview with Filmmaker Deanna Director (Millennials Throughout History: A Titanic Following )

Millennials Throughout History: A Titanic Following played to rave reviews at the April 2020 Female Feedback Film Festival.

Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?

Deanna Director: I’m a comedy writer & producer in pursuit of landing a late night TV writing job, so I’m always plotting different ways to have my work stand out in a pile of writing packets. I kept hearing that you have to make the thing you want to make in order to get the job you want to have. So I made the dang thing. The concept felt like a fresh mix of satire + pop culture + history that might be appealing to Comedy Central or the SNL/late night circuit. Also, I’m a HUGE fan of the film Titanic, so this has truly been a dream project. 12 year old me is overjoyed.
