Shannon Murphy Talks “Babyteeth”

One feature film in, director Shannon Murphy is already making a name for herself. The sometimes actress and filmmaker, Murphy was previously best known for her television direction, include a pair of Killing Eve episodes, but Babyteeth is changing all of that. The new movie, out now, is a tremendous calling card, suggesting a very bright future for her. Mark my words, she’s going to be an in demand name. A few weeks ago, I hopped on the phone with Murphy, shortly after having seen the flick, to discuss what attracted her to the material, her process, and building such an impressive cast. Below is an interview I recently conducted with Murphy. She gets into finding the script from Rita Kalnejais, developing the project, filling out the cast with the likes of Essie Davis, Ben Mendelsohn, Eliza Scanlen, and Toby Wallace, and much more. It’s an interesting chat, apt for an interesting film (our review of which can be found here), so we hope that you enjoy… Here is my conversation with Shannon Murphy: Hopefully you enjoyed the interview. Babyteeth is available to watch now, so be sure to check it out!
