In this exclusive interview from the Dances With Films 2025 press junket, director Hariharasudhen Nagagajan sits down with Hannah to discuss his debut narrative feature Tether.

Tether is a deeply personal and emotionally complex film that explores trauma, grief, and healing through multiple perspectives, including those rarely shown on screen. Hari shares the inspiration behind the film, the collaborative process with writer Anghus Houvouras, and the challenges of crafting layered performances from his cast.

Shot in just 10 days, Tether is both an impressive production feat and a powerful reminder of the stories that often go untold in the aftermath of tragedy.
