We sit down with Starling Thomas to talk about how a childhood love of writing and an unexpected wrongful incarceration shaped her path as a filmmaker committed to healing and justice through story. She reflects on early creative sparks, learning on sets in Atlanta, and rebuilding her voice after prison, choosing to create survivor-centered work that prioritizes consent, care, and agency. We discuss her latest short and how she blends narrative, documentary, and movement to explore the realities facing incarcerated pregnant women while designing impact campaigns aimed at real change. She also shares honest insight on funding, scaling projects wisely, and the importance of scripting with intention before you shoot to protect your time, budget, and edit. This conversation is for anyone passionate about meaningful storytelling and the power of film to create impact.
