What makes a film connect with audiences around the world? Finnish director Aku Louhimies joins CoastLife to discuss his film The Wait, a dramatic love triangle featuring a twist and a modern classical score. He shares what inspired the film’s intimate production, the challenges of financing independent films in Finland, and why hearing audience reactions at international film festivals is such a rewarding part of the process. Louhimies also reflects on his connection to Montana, where he attended high school, and explains why experiencing films together on the big screen makes festivals like the Rehoboth Beach Film Festival so special.
