Episode 257: Avan Jogia and Nhi Do

Door Mouse is the feature film directorial debut from Avan Jogia, the celebrated writer and actor from Vancouver who is well known for a lot of projects, including the wildly bonkers Netflix series Ghost Wars. Door Mouse is a neo-noir thriller about a burlesque dancer and struggling comic book artist (the titular Door Mouse) who is compelled to investigate the disappearances of two of her fellow burlesque dancers and finds a whole world of trouble in the process. Door Mouse is at once wildly entertaining, highly stylized, and a biting commentary on power structures, trauma, and how the disenfranchised can disappear and nobody bats an eye – nobody, that is, except brave people like Door Mouse. In this fascinating conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, filmmaker Avan Jogia and actress Nhi Do talk identity, the real-world inspirations for Door Mouse, and how to make a neo-noir thriller with a punk rock spirit.
