Ep. 134: Ed McCarthy “They Fall Fast”

Ed McCarthy visits DIF HQ for a podcast interview

Ed McCarthy’s short film They Fall Fast took home the Programmer’s Prize at the 2018 Sherman Oaks Film Festival and it is easy to see why.  A long-time writer, Ed created an intelligent, believable, funny and tragic story.  The best decision he made was to direct it himself, because under his thoughtful eye the film is one that people remember for years.

You can watch They Fall Fast right now on Amazon Prime Video.  It starts off Season 2, Episode three and is paired with the equally wonderful Shark Week.  Click here to be taken to the Amazon page. or you can go to Prime Video on your TV and search for “Discover Indie Film.”

In the meantime, you can actually listen to this podcast before you see the film.  In this case, I’m pretty certain that there are no spoilers.  Just a great talk with a great filmmaker about how he reached the point that he can make a wonderful film like They Fall Fast.

Enjoy!

144. Darren Coyle “Chasing Sunshine”

Darren did his DIF interview via FaceTime, because we were trapped at hime during a global pandemic.  (Jeff is in the upper corner.)

Darren Coyle’s feature film Chasing Sunshine won THREE awards at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2018.  Darren and his collaborators put together a delightful film into this world of dreariness, and the great news is that YOU CAN WATCH IT NOW!

We waited to record Darren’s podcast interview until the film was released, and now it has been.  Go to chasingsunshinemovie.com.  They pushed up the release date because at this very moment nearly everyone in the world is stuck at home. Yes, we are “flattening the curve” of COVID-19 infections, which means we need to be entertained at home. Look no further and watch Chasing Sunshine.

It’s time to stop bingeing shows about serial killers and tiger abusers.  It’s time to support a truly enjoyable and truly independent film!

You can listen to the interview before or after watching the film.  I don’t think there are any spoilers.  Also, the audio quality is awful.  I’m sorry!  I don’t know what went wrong, especially with my mic.  But still, you’ll hear Darren’s story and the tale of how Chasing Sunshine went from an idea to finished film.

Go to chasingsunshinemovie.com or watch the trailer below.
