The female perspective is top priority for director Ry Russo-Young. Working in a male dominated field, providing female characters depth and dignifying their struggles is key to Russo-Young's filmmaking. In her Groundhog Day-esque film Before I Fall, she depicts a young woman, and those closest to her, experiencing, learning and growing from a horrific day on repeat.
Today on The Treatment, she discusses casting her lead actress and her enjoyment debuting the film during the Women's March at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
