With his first feature film, Ramzi Bashour landed a spot right in
the U.S. Dramatic Competition at Sundance's final Park City
edition. In Hot Water, the director, screenwriter, and musician
born in Saudi Arabia and raised in Lebanon and the US explores the
complicated relationship between a young adult son from Indiana and
his Lebanese mother. On site at Karlovy Vary where his humorous
drama screens in the Horizons section for international festival
highlights, Ramzi Bashour spoke with Lidanoir about his personal
connection to the story, his own mother's reaction to it, and
creating a soundtrack like a mixtape made for long car trips.
