Mitchell Withers & Sofia Viegas on the pride of their tender short film For the Boys

In our second part of two interviews about the tender short film For the Boys, director Mitchell Withers and producer Sofia Viegas talk about their journey into filmmaking, creating a safe space for Mitch Brown to share his story as an openly bisexual footy player, and about Australian culture, plus much more.

This is an honest, open, considerate discussion, and I'm beyond grateful to both Mitchell and Sofia for sharing their stories with me.
