394. 4Qs with Duane Andersen

Posted on by Jeff

What are the 4Qs?  (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

Filmmaker Duane Andersen came to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2022 with the incredible film  “30 Meetings / 30 Days” and took home SIX awards.  This film blew my mind the first time that I saw it and, honestly, gets better eery time that I watch it again.  You can watch it right now – just go to “30 Meetings / 30 Days” on Omeleto and enjoy!

As long as I had Duane on Zoom to do an interview obviously I was going to have him answer the 4Qs as well.  Talk about great taste – maybe I’m biased because Duane and I are both California born and bred and grew up watching the same stuff, but this is a Great List.
