Interview with ‘Soft Liquid Center’ Writer and Star, Steph Holmbo
Heading into the Chattanooga Film Festival, there were a few films that I had my eye on. One that managed to sneak in under my radar, however, was a quiet, unassuming title directed by first-time feature film directing duo Perry Home Video called Soft Liquid Center, which centers around a character trying to extricate herself from an ex-boyfriend who refuses to move on. It’s a deeply unsettling film dripping with style, so unlike any other film you may have seen and yet seems so effortlessly familiar.
