Rowe Interviews... 

Women face a lot of challenges and roadblocks when trying to get their films made, but they have just as much right to make art as men. Join the All-New Midnight Movie Club as host Lester Rowe sits with Emily Branham and Alana Waksman to talk about their latest projects  Being Bebe and We Burn Like This respectively and how they are working around the system. They also discuss how their lives have shaped their work from trauma to triumph. Women filmmakers rock! Alana also talked about her film and how this film has become a vehicle for her to explore some of her own personal challenges and ancestral traumas.  

We Burn Like This: When 22-year-old Rae, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, is targeted by Neo-Nazis in Billings, Montana, her ancestors' trauma becomes real. As antisemitism rises in the community, Rae journeys to forgive herself, her mother, and the broken world.  

Director: Alana Waksman

We Burn Like This, Alana’s award-winning debut feature which she wrote, directed, and produced, is executive produced by Emmy and Peabody award-winning producer Neda Armian (Rachel Getting Married, The Loving Story, Murder on Middle Beach). The film had its world premiere at the 2021 Santa Barbara International Film Festival and its international premiere at Deauville American Film Festival where it screened in competition. It is currently playing in the festival circuit both nationally and internationally.
