After the award-winning success of her debut feature Strange Colours, Alena Lodkina is back with new film PETROL, an enigmatic and surreal portrait of a formative artistic friendship. She talks to Nat, Daniel and Simon about creative crushes, the lessons her cast taught her, and working with Efficient Space, Mikey Young and Raven Mahon on the film’s sound. Plus the moment she spotted her name in the New Yorker while eating a burger and chips.
