Anu Valia

I am profoundly thankful to be a part of this show that serves as a source of comfort in this world right now. season three is all yours… these are photos I took on set while we shot this last year. looking back at these settled my nerves of the present and gave me a warm wash of peace. we really have the best crew. and my cast mates are superstars and my role models. when i do my gratitudes, i can’t quite quantify the breadth of wisdom and care they’ve extended to me these last few years. thank you for watching, we’ll be back<3

Do you like literally any of these TV shows or movies? We have episodes for all of them on @heythatsmepod . We do audio commentaries with people who worked on them who never got a chance to do commentaries on them. It’s a very fun show. I hope you will check it out!

This week on @heythatsmepod , an audio commentary on season 2, episode 9 of SHRINKING with director @anuvalia ! She’s was one of my favorite guests. I really love this episode. Check it out anywhere you get Podcasts!

New year, new episode! This week @emtostado @carrie_madeline and @julian_s_barthold kick off a new episode cycle of "Oscar Worthy Rom Coms" with 2001's 'Amelie', Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 2001 film starring Audrey Tautou that is as well-crafted as it is refreshing and life-affirming.  They are joined by a guest that, like the film itself, blends meaningful personal connection with great insight and sincerity - @anuvalia film/TV writer and director extraordinaire, and a dear friend of Emilio's through high school and college.  The group discusses this film's reputation and influence on film students in the 2000s, its delightful focus on small personal quirks and sensory input, how the film deviates from more traditional romantic comedies, the way it feels both timeless and very rooted in the moment and setting it depicts, the film's messages about optimism and human goodness, and so much more!    Anu Valia is a wonderful human and talented filmmaker whose work on shows like Shrill, And Just Like That, Interior Chinatown, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Shrinking can be streamed and enjoyed, and her feature film 'We Strangers' can currently be streamed on Amazon Prime and rented digitally where ever you get your movies.   If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.
