I organized an AMA/Q&A with Sophy Romvari, writer-screenwriter of Blue Heron, one of last year's most acclaimed indie films (currently at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and 94 on Metacritic). It was named in Canada's Top 10 Films of 2025 by TIFF and is out in theaters starting next week.
It's live here now in /r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

She'll be back at 2 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!
Thank you :)

Synopsis:
In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha and her family relocate to a new home on Vancouver Island, but their fresh start is interrupted by increasingly dangerous behavior from the eldest son, Jeremy. At wit’s end, their parents are presented with a shattering choice. Award-winning director Sophy Romvari’s feature debut is a lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, masterfully chronicling the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.
