Über diesen Titel
Autumn Best made her feature film debut in Anna Kendrick’s ‘Woman of the Hour,’ and it announced her as someone worth watching. In this conversation, we start there, with what the experience of landing that role, shooting it, premiering at TIFF in 2023, and releasing it on Netflix did to her sense of what she was capable of and what she might expect from her career going forward.
From there we get into ‘BRB,’ a Kate Cobb directed tender and chaotic coming of age road trip film premiering at this year’s Slamdance. Autumn plays Sam, a teenage girl in the early days of the internet who falls for a boy she met in a chatroom. She gets into the particular challenge of inhabiting a period she was alive for but far too young to actually remember, and what it took to place herself emotionally in that specific moment of early online connection and first love.
The conversation also goes somewhere more personal: her relationship with co-star Zoe Colletti, whose chemistry with Autumn carries much of the film’s emotional weight, and how her own experience living with a limb difference shaped her approach to playing a character for whom being fully seen, disability and all, is at the very heart of the story.
