SXSW: Birth is for... with Hannah Shealy and Celine Sutter

***SXSW AUDIENCE AWARD WINNER*** Director Hannah Shealy and co-director/producer Celine Sutter talk Birth Is for..., a smart, funny, and impactful pilot that left everyone wanting a whole lot more. Hannah drew from her real experience as a birth doula to write something authentic to the work she was doing and dispel stereotypes. They dig into how the show will open minds, the "moan dance," and the scene where a laboring woman says she misses her mom that had the whole room feeling something.
