Curiosidades

L.A. Tea Time is a Canadian docufiction film, directed by Sophie Bédard Marcotte and released in 2019. A semi-fictionalized documentary, the film is a travelogue centering on Bédard Marcotte and cinematographer Isabelle Stachtchenko taking a road trip across the United States to Los Angeles, purportedly in the hopes of meeting and interviewing filmmaker and performance artist Miranda July.

Production

The film was Bédard Marcotte's second, following Winter Claire (Claire l'hiver), in which she directly appeared on screen. Despite not considering herself an actress, she appeared in both films out of financial necessity, as a filmmaker working on a limited budget who could not afford to pay a professional actress.

According to Bédard Marcotte, she made the film because she is interested in stories of failure. It also draws parallels between her quest and the film The Wizard of Oz, using voice clips from past interviews with Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman as the metaphorical good witch.
