Caitlin Cronenberg, daughter of David Cronenberg and sister of Brandon Cronenberg, discusses her new horror drama film 'Humane'. The film, starring Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire, and Peter Gallagher, is set in a future after an environmental disaster and follows a family whose patriarch joins a euthanasia program. Cronenberg finds the unique premise and the opportunity to tell a family story in a strange and chaotic world interesting. She also mentions that the characters in the film are detailed and despicable but also likable. Despite her family's connection to darkness, Cronenberg believes her interest in the macabre is not necessarily something she was born with. She credits her upbringing and the art of her ancestors for giving her permission to explore darkness. Cronenberg also discusses the collaborative experience of working with her team, including the cinematographer and cameramen, to achieve her vision for the film. 'Humane' is currently playing in select theaters. [00d6f7bb]
