Episode 47: Hayden Croft & Jay Eftimoski

One of the hits at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2016 was New Age, Olde English.  The team behind this film, writer/director Hayden Croft and producer/actor Jay Eftimoski, came in for an interview.  New Age, Olde English is an original and unique comedy with a little touch of horror.

And ONE MORE THING.  On this podcast you hear Hayden giving me a copy of his book, “Kisses From Strangers In The Dark,” a collection of short stories.  I’ve been reading it, and it’s GREAT.  Seriously.  These short stories are smart and fun.  Each deserves to be its own short film.

Episode 46: The Oscars Results Podcast Party

We all made a bunch of predictions in The Oscars Prediction Podcast, so of course we had to meet again to discuss the Oscars results.  Three filmmakers who weren’t able to make it to the Prediction Podcast were available for the Results Party…

In fact, ELEVEN filmmakers took part in the Discover Film Oscars Pool.  Some have already done a podcast interview, and some are on my to-do list.  In alphabetical order they were: Alex Merkin, (Episode 41), Ashley Campbell (Episode 5), Caroline O’Brien (Episode 28), Doug Mueller (Episode 34), James Medeiros (Episode 28), Jeff Howard (me), Jeremy Foley (upcoming), Joe Petricca (upcoming),  Luis Servera (upcoming), Luísa Novo (upcoming), Preston Peterson (Episode 22.)

And the winner was…

At first I asked everyone to just make their picks for the top 4 categories; Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor.  And the winers is… Ashley Campbell!  Out of 11 people, she was the only perfect 4 out of 4.

But people also submitted their picks for all 24 categories, and the winner of that race was Luis Servera with an impressive 14 out of 24!  (And he left three blank.)

After the Oscars, winner Ashley Campbell received her prize of choosing when we would record this podcast, and amazingly five other people were able to attend. Alex Merkin, Caroline O’Brien, James Medeiros, Preston Peterson, and Jason Boesch.  Add me to the mix and that’s seven people talking at the same time.

Enjoy!

Episode 45: The Oscars Prediction Podcast

At the last minute I thought it would be fun to bring in some filmmakers who’d previously done the podcast, and after sending out some invites I managed to get three people on the mic at the same time.

Caroline O’Brien (Episode 28), Alex Merkin, (Episode 41) and James Medeiros (Episode 28) came in and we shared out picks and favorites for all of the top Oscars.

This is a fun one, and just might help you with your Oscar pool.
