Cory Aycock visits DIF HQ for his podcast interview

Cory Aycock brought his film “Lydia of the Desert” to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival 2020 and, in all honesty, I can tell you that when I first watched this film as a member of the festival’s selection jury I was already hoping to see it become a part of the Discover Indie Film TV Series.  This personal, passionate work of utter restraint struck me as a wonderful example of auteur cinema.  I’m delighted to say that it happened!  You can watch “Lydia of the Desert” in the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video right now — just go to Season 4 Episode 6 to check it out.

154. Rosalie Alspach “The Hostess”

Rosalie Alspach enjoyin’ her coffee at DIF HQ

Rosalie Alspach’s short film “The Hostess” rocked Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020 and I was delighted when she gave a thumbs up for this film to join Season 4 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.  Catch it in Episode 6!

“The Hostess” is everything you look for in a short film.  Well written, well directed, well acted and it inspires lengthy discussions!  In fact it pains me to this day that Covid-19 trapped FILA-2020 online, preventing an open discussion of the film between filmmaker and audience.  But Rosalie’s day will come.  In the meantime, enjoy this podcast interview with an up-and-coming filmmaking talent!
