AFFECTION Video Interviews with Joseph Cross, BT Meza, and Dan Rebert

Having played the ever-resourceful Tree Gelbman in the Happy Death Day movies, Jessica Rothe is no stranger to playing a character trapped in a loop of lethal carnage, but in the new film Affection, she finds herself entangled in a whole other type of vicious cycle as Ellie, a woman who wakes up to a doting husband (Joseph Cross) and concerned daughter (Julianna Layne). The only problem? She doesn’t remember either one, instead having memories of a different husband and a son. That’s only the first of many intriguing twists and turns in Affection, the impressive directorial debut from BT Meza (who also wrote and produced the film) that’s now playing in select theaters via Brainstorm Media.

To celebrate the theatrical release of Affection, Daily Dead had the great pleasure of catching up with Joseph Cross, BT Meza, and prolific special effects artist Dan Rebert to discuss the film’s powerful performances, timely sci-fi elements, palpable horror, and impressive practical effects.
