One of the best films of the festival had its red carpet premiere last week, and we were there to interview the stars and director at the LFF premiere of Waves, the new film from writer/director Trey Edward Shults. It stars Taylor Russell, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Alexa Demie, Sterling K. Brown, Bill Wise, David Garelik, Justin R. Chan, Joshua Brockington, and Krisha Fairchild.

The film came to the capital for the 2019 London Film Festival, and these are our interviews from the red carpet. Scott Davis and Eleanor Sawyer were asking the questions.
