Samuël L. Jodry brought his film “Bengale (ou avant que le bonheur frappe)” – in English, “Bengal (or before happiness strikes)” –  to Film Invasion Los Angeles is 2020 and received the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Director.  I find Samuël’s film so powerful and well-made that I was extra delighted when he said yes to it becoming a part of the Discover Indie Film TV series.

Yes, “Bengale” will join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series, likely coming this March.  If you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

What are the 4Q’s?

• Name a film you think is underrated
• Name a film you think is overrated
• Name a lesser-known film that you think people should seek out

At the 2021 Sherman Oaks Film Festival, Kathryne Isabelle Easton took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Actress in a Lead Role for her performance in “Borrelia Borealis.”  But we should also note that she wrote and directed this remarkable feature film during the depths of the Covid lockdown, using her talent as a screenwriter and performer to keep her feature fresh, engaging and entertaining throughout.  As a festival runner I can tell you that most Covid lockdown features did not pull off this feat.

You should ABSOLUTELY WATCH THIS FILM.  Be a righteous supporter of indie film and pay for it on VOD, where it is currently available everywhere.  If you want to learn more about how to see the film, check out Kathryne’s Instagram @kathryneisabelle.

Kathryne Isabelle Easton wrote, directed and performed the lead role in “Borrelia Borealis,” taking home two Grand Jury Awards at the 2021 Sherman Oaks Film Festival.  This remarkable feature film was made in her during the depths of the Covid lockdown.  Unlike most films made under those conditions, “Borrelia Borealis” stays fresh, engaging and entertaining throughout.  And I wrote, “performed the lead role,” above very intentionally, because Kathryne is onscreen for nearly every second of this feature film and her performance brings the entire thing together.

You should ABSOLUTELY WATCH THIS FILM.  Be a righteous supporter of indie film and pay for it on VOD, where it is currently available everywhere.  If you want to learn more about how to see the film, check out Kathryne’s Instagram @kathryneisabelle.

Collaborating with his wife, brother and sister during lockdown, Daniel Talbott made the wonderful film “Telling Time”and it became an official selection at both Film Invasion Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021, taking home the Audience Award at FILA.  Daniel and I had a great talk about the film during his DIF interview, but we managed to carve out enough time to have him answer the 4Qs above.

I’m also happy to say that “Telling Time” will join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series.  Season 5 should be released this March, but if you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

Filmmaker Daniel Talbott brought his film “Telling Time” to both Film Invasion Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021, taking home the Audience Award at FILA.  It was a great joy to me that Daniel brought the film to SOFF in 2021, because after having Daniel involved in two virtual festivals last November we finally got back into the theater.  “Telling Time” is such a beautiful film; finally I got to see it in a theater instead of on a TV.

It is also a joy to share that “Telling Time” will join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series.  Season 5 should be released this March, but if you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.
