Dravon James talks with actress Brooke Butler about her new film Sunfish and Other Stories on Green Lake. About Brooke Butler- Actress Brooke Butler;, best known for her roles in Ozark, The Resident and Animal Kingdom, adds another compelling and standout performance to her repertoire in Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake), a heartfelt anthology film that has been selected as one of only 10 features in the prestigious U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Sierra Falconer, this indie gem unfolds through a series of four interwoven stories that explore life, love, and self-discovery on the idyllic Green Lake in Michigan. Screening in-person and online from January 30–February 2, SUNFISH is a must-see at Sundance 2025. Filmed on location in Michigan, SUNFISH is one of Sundance's Top 10 Competition Selects, praised for its perceptive storytelling and stunning cinematography. Brooke joins a stellar ensemble cast, including Jonathan Stoddard, Karsen Liotta, Emily Hall, Maren Heary, and Dominic Bogart, in bringing to life Falconer's vision of human connection and personal growth. Brooke stars as Caroline, a snobby Hollywood wife whose initial disdain for a quaint bed-and-breakfast transforms into a heartfelt appreciation for the simplicity and beauty of the northern Michigan setting. Sharing the screen with Jonathan Stoddard and Emily Hall, Brooke's sharp wit and nuanced performance bring humor and depth to the film's emotional conclusion. In this anthology film, directed by Sierra Falconer, Brooke's character is part of the final story, where themes of rediscovery and connection come alive. Sharing the screen with Jonathan Stoddard and Emily Hall, Brooke's performance is both sharp and heartwarming, capturing the quiet beauty of Falconer's intimate storytelling.

Fertility treatment is not cheap. On average, a round of IVF costs between $15,000-$30,000. We know the inaccessibility of ART well here at JFF: after all, we give Jewish Fertility Foundation grants to make fertility treatment more affordable. Angela Rastegar shares a similar mission. She is democratizing fertility treatment through finance. After working as a Director of Circle Surrogacy and the leadership team of Northstar Fertility, Angela founded Sunfish, a company that connects intended parents to grants and loans for ART.
