Hello and welcome back to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast!

Sorry again for the hiatus. I wish you could know how hard it is to do a podcast right in the thick of festival season. There are a lot of worries about publishing and a bunch of logistical stuff that’s complicated to navigate. Anyway, no hiatuses for a good while, so we can get on with the show!
On today’s episode, Nikyatu Jusu, and actress Anna Diop, talk about the supernatural horror film Nanny. We get into some heavy topics, including discussing the fallout of Covid and its impact on the film, criticisms Nanny has faced, and how race and gender factor into some of the challenges the director faced while making the movie. Diop also discusses her time on Titans and some of the struggles she’s faced on the series.
Directed and written by Jusu, Nanny follows Aisha (Diop), an immigrant from Senegal who is hired to care for the daughter of an affluent couple (Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Spector) living in New York City. Haunted by the absence of the young son she left behind, Aisha hopes her new job will afford her the chance to bring him to the U.S., but she becomes increasingly unsettled by the family’s volatile home life. As his arrival approaches, a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality, threatening the American dream she is painstakingly piecing together.
Jusu is an independent writer, director, and Assistant Professor in Film & Video. Her short film Suicide by Sunlight made its debut at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, and Nanny is Jusu’s screenwriting and directing feature film debut. The script was selected for the 2019 Sundance Institute Creative Producing
