Janette's TV Podcast

Inside Dusty: Actor & Filmmaker Travis Jeffery on the Darker Side of Grief

Janette Burke

Grief doesn’t always look quiet. And it doesn’t always heal neatly.
In this Janette’s TV Podcast episode, on the red carpet at VFF, Janette talks with actor, producer, and writer Travis Jeffery to discuss his powerful short film, Dusty—a raw exploration of the negative, often unspoken side of grief and how loss can show up in unexpected, destructive ways.
Travis opens up about storytelling as a form of truth-telling, the responsibility of portraying emotional pain honestly, and why Dusty challenges audiences to sit with discomfort instead of rushing toward resolution.
This conversation is about loss, masculinity, vulnerability, and the courage to confront what we’d rather avoid.
