Seahorse with Aisha Evelyna, Joseph Marcell, Ruth Goodwin, and Brett Donahue

Director-writer-star Aisha Evelyna joins co-stars Ruth Goodwin, Joseph Marcell, and Brett Donahue to talk Seahorse, a film about community, failure, and redemption. They dig into the compassionate space Aisha holds for flawed men, the thread between perfect children and the complicated adults they become, and why a doctor using all the right words can still be a complete jerk. Plus: Joseph's quietly devastating portrayal of Cyrus, the chemistry Ruth and Aisha share rooted in their longtime friendship, and how the haters gave Aisha the fire to prove them wrong.
