The Umbrella Men: Escape From Robben Island
In the first part of my interview with Interview with John Barker, Bronté Snell and Shamilla Miller about The Umbrella Men: Escape From Robben Island, which screened as part of the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, we discussed character development, bringing the female characters to the fore and doing scuba diving stunts in open water in one of the world's most popular places for great white sharks to hang out. It's a sequel which involves Shamilla and Bronté's characters concocting a daring scheme to spring the male members of their family from jail on a reopened Robben Island You don't need to have seen the first one to follow it, but the idea to explain the events of that film – and keep viewers from losing track in this one – by using a Greek-style chorus came about due to the success of the town crier.
