Byrne Owens brought his film “My Roommate the Jedi” to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and, oh my, became the first filmmaker to take home FIVE awards in a single festival.  I will not list them all, who has time, but Byrne and his longtime collaborator Lu Louis made a masterpiece that you can watch right now by going to myroommatethe.com.

Byrne also happens to be an incredible nice and open person and this conversation was a wonderful one to have.  I hope you enjoy listening to it!

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.

Ashley Cahill wrote and directed the feature film “FIRST PERSON: a film about love” and his film won four Grand Jury Prize Awards at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival back in 2019.  Ashley hopped onto Zoom for a London to Los Angeles interview and of course I had him answer the 4Qs above. I’d only had a few chats with Ashley at the 2019 festival but I was sure that this cinefile was sure to have a great list.

Ashley is a talented filmmaker but I also want to mention that he’s an extremely talented painter. Take one look at the artwork on his website Cahill.studio and I’m sure you’ll agree.

Writer/Director Ashley Cahill brought his feature film “FIRST PERSON: a film about love” to Sherman Oaks Film Festival back in 2019 and took home four Grand Jury Prize Awards.  We spoke on and off about recording an interview for a few years and we finally got it done!  Amusingly, we waited until we were not in the same city to record it, so this one has Zoom quality audio.
