A proposito di questo titolo
How do you bring someone’s most painful memories to the screen with honesty and care?Damien Swaby speaks with writer and director Saila Kariat about Jesus Land, her adaptation of Julia Scheeres’s memoir exploring racism, religious extremism and the bond between siblings Julia and David. Saila shares her journey from engineering to filmmaking and the five-year process of bringing her second feature to the screen. She discusses directing Juliette Lewis, Ella Anderson and Xavier Jones, supporting actors through emotionally demanding scenes, and recreating different locations and decades on an independent budget.

From a lightning storm that disrupted the first day to financial pressures near the end of production, this is a candid conversation about completing an ambitious film in just 25 shooting days—and the love, grief and compassion behind it.In this episode:
  • Adapting a memoir and deciding what to preserve, reshape or leave out.
  • How Saila’s own experiences of racism informed her approach.
  • Casting, rehearsals and working with Juliette Lewis.
  • Production design, colour grading and the importance of sound.
  • Keeping a cast and crew supported under pressure.
  • Film festivals, sales agents and navigating distribution.
  • Why the sibling relationship remains the heart of Jesus Land.
