00:00Today we are covering Coralie Forgé, who is Oscar nominated for both writing, directing, and co-producing The Substance.
00:07The Substance, which stars Demi Moore as an aging starlet who harnesses the fountain of youth with a strange substance that has somewhat dire adverse consequences.
00:18According to Forgé, the high concept body horror is actually loosely based off of her own internal struggles with aging and wanting to search out her own version of a fountain of youth.
00:29If you haven't seen The Substance, be sure to check it out as soon as possible, but be forewarned, it is a true body horror in every sense of the word.
00:39Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, The Substance defies the Oscar convention by being one of the very few horror films to even be nominated, let alone have a chance to win come Oscar night.
00:51Both Coralie in Best Original Screenplay and lead actress Demi Moore are heavily favored to possibly take home a win.
