In this episode Alex interviews writer and director, Guy Trevellyan about his new short film, Plastic Surgery.
Set inside a hospital on the cusp of chaos, Plastic Surgery follows Dr. Terra, a young physician on her last shift before maternity leave, as she is confronted with a terrifying, hidden threat one already coursing through the bodies of her patients. As Terra races to understand what’s unfolding, she’s forced to confront a deeper question: Can she save others without first saving herself?
Plastic Surgery is a haunting metaphor for the ways plastic pollution is infiltrating our health. With microplastics now discovered in human arteries and organs, the film paints a visceral portrait of our toxic dependence, placing personal and planetary survival in the same breath.
Guy has worked previously as an assistant director with filmmakers such as Wes Anderson, Greta Gerwig, Michael Sarnoski, and Shawn Levy, and has now started his own production company, Nice Guy Pictures.
The film is currently at the start of its festival run. We will include a link in the show notes once it becomes publicly available.
