Sorry, Baby Interview: Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie & Lucas Hedges Made One of Sundance's Biggest Sales

Every January, the Sundance Film Festival provides a platform for idiosyncratic voices and creative artists to bring their unique sensibilities to a mass audience, even for an online comedian specializing in 60-second videos like Eva Victor. This year, the comic headed to Park City, Utah to screen their feature directorial debut, Sorry, Baby.
Despite their background in comedy, Victor's new film is a drama following a graduate student-turned-professor, Agnes (Victor), who is wrestling with the effects of trauma. The film tells Agnes' story in a nonlinear fashion that explores her as an individual throughout a five-year span of time, both before and after an act of violence alters her life completely. In addition to Victor, Sorry, Baby stars Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) and Oscar nominee Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea).
At the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Victor, Ackie, and Hedges to discuss how the world slowing down provided an opportunity for Victor to reflect on the story she wanted to tell. The trio also talks about the first-time director's mentorship from Oscar-winner Barry Jenkins (Moonlight, Mufasa: The Lion King), shadowing filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun on I Saw the TV Glow, learning the rhythm on set with one another in scenes, and the uniqueness of what Victor brings to the industry.
