Colorado Films chat with Kassia Fundoukos of The Kendama Club & Audrey Britain of Staked Girls.

On this episode of Colorado Films: The Podcast. This week I sat down with University of Denver filmmakers Kassia Fundoukos (The Kendama Club) and Audrey Brittain (The Staked Girls), whose films are featured in this year's In Short Student Film Showcase. We discussed the inspirations behind their films, the challenges of student filmmaking, directing styles, and how the University of Denver's Media, Film & Journalism Studies program helped bring their projects to life. Kassia shared how personal experiences with heartbreak and the community built around kendama inspired The Kendama Club. Audrey talked about creating The Staked Girls as a horror-comedy that challenges negative portrayals of female friendships and explores trust, power, and friendship through genre filmmaking. We also discussed production challenges, future career goals, networking opportunities, and what's next for both filmmakers. Be sure to support these talented student filmmakers and check out the In Short Student Film Showcase. #ColoradoFilms #ColoradoFilm #DenverFilm #UniversityOfDenver #DUFilm #MFJS #StudentFilmmaker #IndependentFilm #WomenInFilm #HorrorComedy #TheKendamaClub #TheStakedGirls #FilmPodcast #ColoradoCreative #Filmmaking
