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.

Sarah Cugini & Brandon C. Lay have collaborated on multiple films, all under Brandon’s Living Proof Pictures Brand.  Their feature film, “Bitter Taste of Ginger,” which Brandon wrote & directed, Sarah was the lead actor in, and both produced with collaborators Marcy Repp and Joshua Faturos, came to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and took home two Grand Jury Awards, Best Feature Film – Arthouse/Experimental and Best Actress in a Lead Role  for Sarah!   Their short film “Cueball” played at Film Invasion Los Angeles in June of 2022 along with “Bitter Taste of Ginger,” making it the rare film to play both SOFF and FILA.  Also, Sarah is the first and so far only actor to take hime the Grand Jury Award for Best Lead Role in both festivals!

After their DIF interview, of course I had them answer the 4Qs above together.

Writer, director, actor, and dancer Karina Wolfe created the short film “Lou,” doing everything you can imagine for this comedy including creating a human-sized cat costume!  “Lou” played at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and took home the Audience Award for Short Film – Comedy.  I’m proud to say that you can catch “Other” in Season 7 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!

Karina came by for a DIF interview and of course I had her answer the 4Qs above.  based on her answers, I think she is someone whose taste I can completely trust!  Great list!

Ramone Menon wrote, directed, and co-produced the horror short “The Pey” which came to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Short Film – Horror.   But this podcast is not about Ramone’s excellent horror film or his filmmaking!  It is about answering the 4Qs above!

Have a listen to one of the most personable, entertaining filmmakers on the festival circuit.  Seriously.  Everywhere Ramone goes he leaves behind new friends with great stories about the guy they just met at a festival.  Enjoy!
