About this episode

In this episode, filmmaker Victoria Trow discusses her award-winning film ERUCTATION and her journey in filmmaking.

Watch This Episode On YouTube Let's all wish happy birthday to filmmaker Victoria Trow, whose film ERUCTATION (2026) won big at SXSW this year -- not at all surprising once you watch it.

Her attention to detail, use of color and sound, all make ERUCTATION and Victoria one of my favorite films -- and guests -- of the year. Happy birthday, Victoria! Hope today is a great one. In this episode, Victoria and I discuss: how excited she was to attend SXSW this year, even before knowing her film would win!; her start in filmmaking and all of the things that led up to the incredible cinematic experience of her film; the evolution in her thinking from considering herself just a writer to directing films; what part of advertising work she dislikes; the crazy reactions to watching ERUCTATION or even just hearing about the topic; how hard it is to get comedy right in advertising; why the incredible 6 minute run time for ERUCTATION…
