Aaron's Thoughts
Sundance 2025 #9
The most difficult part of making a successful anthology is that inevitably one story will seem more interesting than the others & the audience will wish that more time was spent on that story.
Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) works so well because that isn’t the case. Sure, there are some stories that are more interesting than others. But for the most part, each story is interesting enough that you want to know more but not so interesting that we aren’t ready to move on after 20 minutes.
That’s a tough needle to thread & why most anthologies end of being pretty bad. I actually think that the anthology structure works in the films favor, which is a massive compliment.
Solid directorial debut!
