Kasha Fauscett – Camp Koba
We had the opportunity to interview Kasha Fauscett, the filmmaker of Camp Koba. Camp Koba is an official selection of the 12th annual Utah Film Festival.
An unintentional killing at Camp Koba leaves Layla to live in secrecy where it eats away at her subconscious. Upon trying to take her own life for the pain she burdens, she is rescued by the greatest force.
What was the inspiration to make Camp Koba?
This world feels like it has fallen off its path of balance. I stopped watching the news because of all the devastating news which creates fear and distrust in people. This world has been become ego and greed driven. I made this film as a message to remind people we are all the same. We all have the same fears, hopes, and instead of division we should stand strong and spread love and support.
From idea to completion, how did this production change?
The production didn’t change. This film was created how it was intended.
What was the biggest challenge in getting Camp Koba made?
The biggest challenge for me was telling this story as a short film. There was only so much that could be written and filmed. This story would carry more weight as a feature film to properly showcase the characters backstories and message.
What do you think is the most important takeaway from your film?
The powerful reminder at the end of the film.
If you could have a do over with Camp Koba is there anything that you would do differently?
If I did do this over, then it would be a feature length.
What do you have next in the works?
Finishing “Guilty by Vice” which is based on a true story which was put on hold due to the pandemic.
How can we learn more about you and your projects?
