Eli Stern won a Grand Jury Prize for his short film Whiskey Sour at the 2016 Sherman Oaks Film Festival.  And the jury had no idea he was a 19 year old filmmaker in his second year of college.  Want to hear more?  Listen to the podcast.

But first… watch his film!

One of the best things about the interview with George is his laugh.  Seriously.  I have a hunch the neighbors thought he was in pain.

Listen to George’s DF4Q… he’s the first filmmaker to point out that his own father disagrees with him.

What is DF4Q?  It’s the Discover Film Four Questions.

• Name your favorite film 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

George’s film Counter Clockwise played at Film Invasion Los Angeles, and he came in to do a Discover Film podcast and a DF4Q with Jeff Howard.

If this was 1994 and people were searching the shelves of Blockbuster for a movie to take home on a Friday night, then I think George’s film Counter Clockwise would have become an underground hit.  Apparently I’m going to have to start renting it with friends one-by-one on Amazon.

Listen to the podcast to hear how George managed to make a great sci-fi feature film with a micro-budget and a skeleton crew.
