Interview- Kai Cech and Pierson Fode for ‘Marshmallow’ (2025)

For Marshmallow (2025), we chatted with Kai Cech and Pierson Fode about the archetypal summer camp characters they play and more!

Rather than making happy, joyful memories, Morgan learns that maybe some anxiety is a good thing when a legendary campfire tale comes to life before his eyes. Throughout our conversation, we discussed how they tackled their archetypal horror staple characters, battling against the physical elements of the set, and learning about how shooting Marshmallow ended up being one of the actors’ first summer camp experiences. But no, I think, for the sequences that involve some pretty intense, violent moments, getting into that headspace is fairly wild and exciting and getting to play with our stunt choreographer, [director] Daniel [DelPurgatorio] and all the rest of the cast.
