Hi podcast listeners, I’m Barbara Morgan and you’re listening to Austin Film Festival’s On Story. This week on On Story we’re joined by screenwriting duo Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis discussing their journey writing films such as Five Feet Below, and the recent Netflix adaptation of the J.A. White fantasy-horror novel, Nightbooks.

Mikki Daughtry is a screenwriter and young adult fiction author. She is best known for writing, along with writing partner Tobias Iaconis, the films The Curse of La Llorona, Five Feet Apart, and Netflix’s Nightbooks. 

Tobias Iaconis is also a screenwriter best known for his work with Daughtry, as well as 2009’s Behind Enemy Lines: Columbia. In 2012 he partnered with Daughtry for an adaptation of the Jack Kilborn action-horror novel Afraid. 

Moderator Harrison Glaser sat down with the pair to discuss their process at the Austin Film Festival.

Hi, it's Lou again and welcome back to another episode of That Haunted Show.
We are going to be looking into the scary as all hell wailing woman, otherwise known as my ex. Nah I'm kidding, we're looking into La Llorona. This was chosen by a subscriber of the show, who coincidently runs their own podcast so you should definitely check them out at the foul-mouthed nerds.

So we take a look into the possible history of who she was in life, who she is in death and everything along the way. From scary happenings to tragic events, and a few stories with first-hand encounters with the wailing woman.

Hope you're ready.

In this episode Catherine and Rosa review six Latin American films, five are selected from their respective country for the International category for this year’s Academy Awards. The sixth film depicts an important message through a unique narrative. 

Bacurau - This Brazilian film sadly isn’t its country selection to compete for a spot at the Academy Awards, but it doesn’t make any less of an impactful film. Following a group of residents at the hidden city of Bacurau and their response to a series of unusual events that have been unfolding as of late. -- Available on VOD

The Sleepwalkers - Argentina’s selection is a raw and difficult look into a family who are sleepwalkers. At the front of the film is a mother & wife who is on the verge of dedicating her time to becoming a writer. A fracture familial foundation decides otherwise and she’s placed in a position of picking between her in-laws or her daughter. -- 

 Once Upon a Time in Venezuela is Venezuela’s selection to compete in the category. A documentary filmed in a period of 7 years shining a light on a community that’s in danger of existence due to sedimentation. Politics, cultural festivities, daily routines, socioeconomic status and more are explored as time runs out for this community. -- Available on VOD 

I’m No Longer Here Is Mexico’s selection and it’s endorsed by Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo del Toro. If that doesn’t spark an interest, I don’t know what will. Following a young man who’s forced to immigrate to New York after a misunderstanding with a local gang, this film explores community, culture, alienation, familial relationships, identity, culture shock and more. -- Available on Netflix 

The Mole Agent is Chile’s representative and it follows an 80 year old man who’s hired to investigate a possible elders abuse situation in a home. A film that starts as an investigative narrative evolves into a harsh reminder to value our elders and to give them the attention and care they need. A sweet, moving, heartwarming and eye opening documentary. -- Available on Hulu

La Llorona is Guatemala’s entry and this is a new (and improved) interpretation of the well known myth. Incorporating into a social narrative, Bustamante’s approach is a smart and a heartbreaking look into an Indigenous genocide thats often never talked about. -- Available on Shudder

Saturday Night Commentary Series:

As 2020 thankfully comes to a close, our hosts take some time to revisit one of the better regarded films to hit the US last year: La Llorona. This Guatemalan ghost story tells the story of a house-bound dictator whose new housekeeper seems to be more than she's letting on.

This is designed to be a commentary track to the actual film. Stat the episode at the same time you hit play on the film. The audio track will go a little longer than the film because we can't shut up.
