"To Kill A Tiger" had its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (where it won the juried prize for Best Canadian Film) and then premiered in the U.S. at the Lighthouse International Film Festival in the summer of 2023. Since then, it laid quiet, garnering a few nominations and mentions throughout the awards season, and then shocked everyone when it received the Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature Film. Writer, director, and producer Nisha Pahuja was kind enough to spend a few minutes with us after her nomination, talking about her experience making the film, how it came to be, what she wants to do next, and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is up for your consideration at this year's Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature Film. Thank you, and enjoy!

Fresh from the Lighthouse International Film Festival (at the Jersey beach!!), for the premiere of my short film How to Pack Up Your Life in One Day, and still dizzy from the red carpets, the phenomenal filmmakers, the profound screenings. I've been thinking how these moments of celebration - our crew gathering, our friends thrilled, an audience applauding - are such highs in the journey. Such an external reminder that the work is good, that it matters, that it belongs.But what do you know in between?How do you celebrate all the unseen work - the submissions to festivals, the revising of scripts, the long nights editing, the hours of practice?I have some ideas. And one especially goofy one that I hope delights you, and inspires you.xPssst.... now you can also watch the episode on YouTube !#CreatingIsHealing

Jen tells Robin how Paul Dano who recently starred in Being Flynn got so into his character's isolation that he would hang out at the local bar by himself, and retreat to his motel room. Jen talks about using her hometown of Cornwall, Ontario for some of the shooting locations and the perks that come along with that. She also reveals the downside of shooting in Canada in a post 911time, where one crew member was not allowed to enter the country. For Ellen will be released in New York September 5.
