The Two Gay Geeks 🏳️🌈 have a chat with our good friend Pia Thrasher about the new film she just completed, Things We Dig. She tells us about how the film came about, as well as the struggles to get it made, and what we can expect in the future from film festivals to release so everyone can see the film. Have a listen and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
About Pia Thrasher
Pia Thrasher is an actor, filmmaker and visual artist originally from Germany, where she studied the arts at the E.T.A. Hoffman Gymnasium. She majored in English and graduated from the Euro Sprachschule Bamberg as a Foreign Language Correspondent. Pia's acting experience started around 5th grade in school theatre and several small stage productions in her hometown in Germany. Soon after immigrating to the U.S. she tasted 'movie blood' while working on several film sets as an extra, including James Cameron's 'Titanic'. Wanting to learn more about the craft, she began training in earnest and enrolled in acting classes and showcases. Once she started auditioning, student films offered her opportunities to play speaking parts, adding experience and confidence to win her supporting and leading roles in shorts and independent films. Pia eventually branched out and also worked on numerous film sets behind the scenes, gaining more knowledge and skills as a filmmaker. The dark comedy short 'The Appointment' was Pia's directorial debut in 2015. Look out for her next short film, the horror comedy 'Things We Dig' she wrote, directed and stars in, coming to film festivals in 2020!
