24. Bryn Chainey—Rabbit Trap, and brave filmmaking

About this episode

Bryn Chainey discusses his film Rabbit Trap, exploring themes of connection, landscape, and the creative process.

Rabbit Trap is a movie about fairies. It’s also a story of the landscape, and the yearning for connection. Bryn Chainey is a young British director with a vision of how a film should feel, and the emotions it can generate. The film features Dev Patel and Rosie McEwen and a mysterious third character, played by Jade Croot. But the real stars are the sound and the land. We talk about movies, folklore, inspiration, healing, and the mystery of the creative process. Rabbit Trap is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Google Play.
