Blake Winston Rice joins She's All Over the Place to discuss the world premiere of his latest short film DISC at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival.

Blake is an award-winning writer-director whose breakout short Tea premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, with Patty Jenkins serving as Executive Producer. Since Cannes, Tea has screened at 13 Oscar-qualifying festivals, earned multiple awards, and is now a Vimeo Staff Pick streaming on Kanopy.

In this conversation, Blake breaks down:

The making of DISC, starring Jim Cummings (Thunder Road, The Wolf of Snow Hollow) and Victoria Ratermanis (Oscar-nominated A Lien)
Crafting intimate, character-driven stories under pressure
Navigating festival premieres at Cannes and TIFF
Transitioning from actor and comedian to narrative filmmaker

DISC is a sharp dramedy about connection, vulnerability, and the unexpected intimacy that emerges after a one-night stand—featuring an original score by Grammy-nominated Kevin Garrett (Beyoncé's Lemonade).
