Director Rachel Wolther joins us to talk about her clever and chaotic new film The French Italian. After premiering to great buzz at Tribeca, this debut feature has everyone talking — from its sharp wit to its hilarious look at New York neighbors, theater dreams, and the messy art of revenge. Rachel opens up about her inspiration, her love for storytelling, and what it means to finally see her vision come to life on screen.

We dive into how her background in theater shaped the film’s structure, what it was like working with a knockout cast including Catherine Cohen and Aristotle Athari, and how humor and humanity drive her creative process. It’s a conversation full of laughter, honesty, and the beautiful chaos that happens when art imitates life.
