Interview with "Honeyjoon" Filmmaker, Lilian T. Mehrel

On this week's episode of Female Gaze: The Film Club, Morgan chats with writer and director Lilian T. Mehrel to talk about her film, "Honeyjoon."  “Honeyjoon” is a mother-daughter dramedy which follows June and her mom Lela as they travel to the Azores islands for a grief anniversary, with contrasting ways of coping. A charming surfer slash tour guide brings balance as they (and we, the audience) surf the waves of life, loss, and flirting. It’s an unforgettable ride of the light and dark waves of life, women reclaiming their pleasure, and sharing the inside joke of what it means to be a human. The film premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival where it won the AT&T Untold Stories Award. The film has screened at various film festivals throughout the U.S. and internationally, winning numerous audience awards and a Grand Jury Best Feature award. “Honeyjoon” will be at the Palm Springs International Film Festival at the beginning of 2026.
