Otis Birdy jumped onto Zoom for interview about his directorial debut “Jiyan,” which screened at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020 and and took home a Programmer’s Award.  Everyone who does an interview gets to answer the 4Qs, and Otis was glad to do it!

Otis Birdy brought his remarkable directorial debut “Jiyan” to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020 and and took home a Programmer’s Award for his efforts.  Inspired by a true story that Otis personally experienced, “Jiyan (Life)” recounts the daily life of Nerol, a seventeen year old Syrian Kurd who arrives in Switzerland without his parents and must learn to live and adapt to a new world while his family remains trapped in a country being destroyed by a Civil War.

Thanks to the internet and video chat, I got to meet Otis and do a Q&A with him at FILA 2021 and I always knew that I would want to talk to him in an episode of this podcast.  I’m so glad that it happened.

Nickolas Gilbert brought his film “Nailed” to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020 and I was delighted when his film joined the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.  Nickolas is such a busy, productive filmmaker that it took us forever to manage to get this podcast recorded.  (Mainly because we both really liked the idea of recording in person, not on Zoom.)

After the interview Nickolas answered the four questions listed above!

Nickolas Gilbert brought his superbly absurdist film “Nailed” to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020 and I knew the first time I saw his film that it would be wonderful to have it join the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.  I was delighted when “Nailed” joined season 4, but Nickolas is such a busy, productive filmmaker that it took us forever to manage to get this podcast recorded.  (Mainly because we both really liked the idea of recording in person, not on Zoom.)

We finally managed to get into the same room and it was great!  Nickolas is a smart, active and inspiring filmmaker.
