Writer/Director Pedro Patricio at SOFF 2017 with his friend and fellow filmmaker Fei Yu.
Filmmaker Pedro Patricio has been a part of the Discover Indie Film family from the beginning. His film “Tirachinas” was a smash hit at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2017 and that film is in the very first season of the Discover Indie Film TV Series.

Full disclosure. When the Discover Indie Film podcast was just beginning in 2017, I recorded a phone call with Pedro. He had to jump into a Brooklyn coffee house and ask for a quiet corner for us to talk, and it was wonderful. And then a failed hard-drive left that conversation lost forever. I have regretted it ever since. It was a pleasure to finally get Pedro on the DIF mic’s again! Although I confess that our previous conversations made for a shorthand here, so in this interview you do not hear as much about his background as you would have and should have in 2017.

Rosie Grace and Nate Hapke have been collaborating on film productions for a few years now. Before their work together truly took off I had interviewed Nate about his film “One More” (SOFF 2017) but get this list… after that film came three Rosie & Nate collaborations; “She & Her” (FILA 2019) “To The Moon and Back” (FILA 2020) and “Ride Share” (SOFF 2020).
We recorded this interview in August 2019, not long after “She & Her” played at FILA 2019. Since Nate had told me his filmmaking story wayback in episode 69 of this podcast it was clearly time to hear Rosie’s story.

Soon after we recorded this, I got unlucky and through a series of unfortunate events many podcasts that I had recorded got mothballed. It took me forever to get the emotional bandwidth to go back into the vault and get those unreleased podcasts out! The good news is that you finally get to hear this smart, enthusiastic filmmaker talk about her craft!
And I promise to not let the DIF vault ever fill up again. I’m going to start a series of new interviews where no post-production is necessary, because life no longer allows me that luxury. I promise!
