🧙♀️ Topics Covered:
Origin of the Spell: Jane shares how the idea for Witchy Ways came to her—hint: it involves a dream, a forgotten journal, and a moth.
Research & Rituals: We explore the deep dive into folklore, lunar cycles, and historical witchcraft that shaped the film’s emotional and visual language.
The Luna Moth’s Symbolism: More than just a visual motif, the Luna Moth becomes a spiritual guide in the story. Jane explains its role in the narrative and how it influenced the film’s color palette and pacing.
Lead Chemistry: The two leads—whose names we won’t spoil here—bring a rare alchemy to the screen. Jane reflects on casting, rehearsals, and the moment she knew they were magic together.

Special Effects & Practical Magic: From spectral apparitions to elemental transformations, Jane breaks down how the team blended practical effects with digital wizardry to keep the magic grounded and visceral.
- The House as a Character: The film’s central location—a creaking Victorian with secrets in its walls—was more than a set. Jane reveals how the house was used to reflect character psychology and shift tone.
- VR & Horror: We close with a peek into Jane’s other project: directing a horror experience in virtual reality. She shares what it’s like to build fear in 360 degrees.
