Writer/director Micah Magee may not live in Texas full-time now, but she has strong connections to the Lone Star State. She graduated from Ut (dual degree Plan II Honors and Radio-tv-Film) and worked as programming director for Cinematexas International Short Film Festival. Most recently, she filmed her feature Petting Zoo in San Antonio.
In Magee's film, Layla (young actress Devon Keller) is a teenager living on the edges of poverty whose plans to attend college are subverted by an unexpected pregnancy. Petting Zoo played as part of the Panorama Special programming at Berlinale in February, and has its North American premiere at SXSW later this month.
In these hectic days before the festival begins, Magee answered questions for us via email interview.
