The new film Mayday<\/em><\/strong> from writer-director Karen Cinorre whisks its protagonist, Ana (Grace Van Patten) away from her dreary, subservient life to a magical place where she is soon swept up in a troop of female warriors who spend their days on the radio in the hopes of bringing unsuspecting young sailors to the treacherous coast of their island. It\u2019s an alluring and intriguing fantasy, one with plenty of food for thought about gender, empowerment, and who the heroes and villains of the story really are.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to speak with two of the film\u2019s stars, Grace Van Patten, who portrays Ana, and Soko, who plays Gert, one of the more militant members of the foursome Ana joins. This was actually my second time talking to Grace in the span of just one week thanks to her recent work in the Hulu series Nine Perfect Strangers<\/em><\/strong>, which put her in a very different but equally mind-bending world, and Soko shared her interest in music and the approach she took to the film and her role.<\/p>\n
