“Dealing with Death: A Conversation with Eddy Mady, Callina Liang, and West Mulholland, the Young Cast of Presence”

The cast of Presence discusses generational views on death in an exclusive interview.

This week marks the release of Steven Soderbergh’s supernatural thriller, Presence. Filmed entirely from the first-person perspective of a spirit, the story follows its growing bond with the youngest daughter, Chloe (Callina Liang).

The film explores themes of death on multiple levels, prompting me to ask the young cast how they feel their generation approaches death differently compared to their parents’ generation. Their candid responses touched on the disconnection and numbness often felt in today’s world, contrasted with the more focused, less distracted experiences of previous generations.

I deeply appreciated the authenticity and thoughtfulness of this talented cast. Watch our exclusive interview with Eddy Mady, Callina Liang, and West Mulholland below, and stay tuned for our full review of Presence!
