Some people are consider a jack of all trades.  But I’m not afraid to say that Jeffrey Thompson is far more than a jack of all trades.  This man has vision and the ability to make things happen.  That includes acting, writing, producing and directing in addition to organizing a creative collective named Great Hair Productions. (Look at the picture to the right if you’re wondering why.)

Jeffrey and his Great Hair Productions collaborators Elaine Chu, Jeanene Beauregard, Brigid Marshall, Thomas Nolle, and Joe Willand brought their great short film Because We Can to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2018 and it won both the Audience Award for Best Short Film and the Outstanding Acting, Individual award for lead actress Jillian Ferry.

I think Jeffrey Thompson and his team are great and even though we couldn’t add their great short to the Discover Indie Film TV series on Amazon Prime Video (nudge nudge) due to SAG rules I wanted to invite Jeffrey onto the podcast.

What are the 4Q’s?

• Name your favorite film of all time (limit 3)
• Name a film you think is underrated
• Name a film you think is overrated
• Name a lesser-known film that you think people should seek out

Leo Chor’s film How To Get A Boyfriend is in Season 2 Episode 2 of the Discover Indie Film TV series.  This extremely well made dark comedy won the Programmers Prize at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2019.  Leo has progressed into his chosen career in production sound, but everyone who loved his senior thesis film at Woodbury University is hoping he sits down and writes another script soon.

Here are Leo’s answers:

• Favorites: Children of Men, The Martian, John Wick
• Underrated: Magic Mike
• Overrated:  Us
• Seek Out: Oculus

Leo Chor’s film How To Get A Boyfriend won the Porgrammers Prize at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2019.  And I’m proud to say that it is part of season two of the Discover Indie Film TV Series.  Darkly funny with a wicked spirit, this the kind of film that we want people to see when they stream the DIF series on Amazon Prime Video.

Leo came by for a DIF interview and, no spoilers here, shared his story of how he went from high school in Thailand to film school in Los Angeles, eventually making How To Get A Boyfriend because, honestly, they wouldn’t let him graduate without it.

The film is right here for you to watch, although it would be super smart for you to watch it on Amazon Prime Video.  That way you see all the other great short films in the series, including the great I Got This that shares season 2 episode 2 with Leo’s film.

Ok.  Make your choice now and then listen to the interview!
