Note: Since the publication of this interview, Mukbang has received valid criticisms over its depiction of violence against a black character, and of the broader culturally appropriative context of the film. See Michelle Law's critique of the film here, and an article published in the Sydney Morning Herald which addresses the controversy.

Time Out went to Dulcie's Kings Cross, luxuriated on the velvet lounges and asked the mixologists behind the bar if they could whip up something a little fancy for us. Oh, and Australian actor Eliza Scanlen was there, too. You might know her best as the sweet, doomed Beth in Greta Gerwig's production of Little Women, but this woman is a multi-talented machine. She talked to us about the challenges of directing her first ever short film – Mukbang is currently screening in the Sydney Film Festival –, the incredible female directors she's worked with, and her favourite spots in the city.
