Ryan Beene brought his short film “Those People” to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and took home a Programmers Prize award.  Thanks to Covid, that screening was also the theatrical premiere of “Those People.”  I was delighted to hear that Ryan was wrapping u his festival run and was happy for his film to 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!

Ryan is an intelligent, thoughtful and unabashedly real storyteller.  In this interview I got to see how he made key decisions so that all these qualities ended up in “Those People.”  Enjoy the interview!

Sarah Beth Goer & Kip Calendine brought their feature film “Three Roads” to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020.  Sarah wrote, produced and starred in the film while Kip wrote, produced and directed.  You can watch “Three Roads” right now on the Three Roads Vimeo page for free!

I highly recommend that you watch this film.  It is the kind of micro-budget movie that I feel energizes the indie film scene, made with heart by people who made a feature film because they had to.
