"The Game Camera" is a new short film that was co-written by Kansans Rolf Potts and Kristen Bush but the Kansas connections don't stop there. The film was shot on the couple's property near Salina and directed by Emily Railsback, who also grew up in Kansas. The filmmakers hope that "The Game Camera" will shed light on rural filmmaking, as well as the increasing impact women are having in film. KMUW's Jedd Beaudoin recently spoke with Kristen Bush, who also stars in "The Game Camera," and has more.
