Katey and Christopher Rosen discuss the Peoples Choice winners from the Toronto International Film Festival, including the big champion La Bola Negra. Then hear the conversation Katey had onstage a day before La bola negra's raucous TIFF premiere with Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, the directing duo also known as Los Javis. In their hourlong conversation they talk about the shared artistic influences that led to their first collaborations, how they created the film's epic scope on a relatively small budget, how they divvy up their roles on set, and some personal influences that made it into La Bola Negra.
