145. 4Qs with David M. Weiss

David M. Weiss with his friend Leslie Easterbrook at SOFF 2018

What are the 4Q’s?

  • Name your favorite films of all time (limit 3)
  • 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

David M. Weiss brought his action-thriller feature film “Black Luck” to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2016 and then came back with the award winning “Kap” to Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2018.

If you have seen David’s films, you would know that as an artist and filmmaker he is as multidimensional and intriguing as they come.  He does not limit himself to traditional genre, technique, or storytelling.  I had a hunch this meant his 4Qs answers would be just as interesting, and he did not disappoint!

144. David M. Weiss “Kap”

David M Weiss’s virtual interview in July 2019

Filmmaker David M. Weiss brought his action-thriller Black Luck to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2016 and then came back to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival with his incredibly touching and inspiring film Kap, shot entirely in Haiti about the practice of “restavek” (to stay with) which is a form of child slavery affecting over 300,000 children in Haiti.

David and I recorded this virtual interview on July 27, 2019, long before virtual chats became standard procedure during 2020’s pandemic.

Soon after we recorded this, I got unlucky and through a series of unfortunate events many podcasts that I had recorded got mothballed.  The good news is that you finally get to hear this smart, enthusiastic filmmaker talk about his craft!
