Reporters from Team 54 are covering the 41st SANTA BARBARA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, running from February 4th - 14th, 2026. In addition to attending red carpet award events and viewing and reviewing several films, they spoke with filmmakers about their work.
On Friday, February 6th, reporters CORAL & MADELYN attended the world premiere of the film "RELATIVELY NORMAL", as well as the Q&A session afterwards. It took until after the festival for them to catch up with local filmmaker AMY WENDEL to talk with her about the film, at the Riviera Theater, where the film premiered.
Very impressed with the film, Coral & Madelyn had a LOT of questions for the writer/director, linked in the YouTube Description field. After the reporters thought they were finished, Amy turned the tables and had some questions for THEM! (Beware, spoiler alerts for this part of the discussion!)
