At SXSW 2026, directors Jack Zagha Kababie and Yossy Zagha premiere FIFTEEN, a bold coming-of-age horror film where a quinceañera spirals into something monstrous. In this Filmmaker Mixer episode, we break down the creative decisions behind blending cultural tradition with body horror. We explore creature design, directing young actors, staging large celebration scenes under tension, and navigating co-direction at the highest level. If you’re a filmmaker interested in genre storytelling, festival strategy, or practical vs. VFX creature work, this episode is packed with real-world insight.
