On this episode of Center Stage, I sit down with director Svetlana Cvetko and co-writer/producer David Scott to discuss their visually poetic and emotionally daring film, Show Me What You Got. Blending the intimacy of a love story with the raw energy of youthful rebellion, the film follows three twentysomethings who form a passionate and unconventional ménage à trois. As they navigate art, activism, and affection, their bond grows deeper—until an unexpected return to Italy forces them to confront the fragility of their connection.
With a black-and-white aesthetic that echoes the spirit of the French New Wave, Show Me What You Got explores the complexities of love, freedom, and identity with striking honesty and cinematic grace. In our conversation, Cvetko and Scott share the creative inspirations behind the film, the challenges of portraying a nontraditional relationship on screen, and why sometimes the most radical thing you can do is love without limits.
