Posted on by Jeff

Another podcast episode is up!  And this one is a DF4Q… as in Discover Film Four Questions.  Jamie Brindle answers these questions:

  • Name your favorite film of all time (limit 3)
  • Name a film you think is terribly underrated
  • Name a film you think is terribly overrated
  • Name a lesser-known film that you think people should seek out

Someday I’ll get to share my four, but that day is a long way off.  Listen to it here!

Discover Film Episode 1: Jamie Brindle

It’s up!  It’s really up.  It wasn’t a piece of cake, but this marks the moment when the first podcast I ever recorded, produced, and published has hit the public.  Kinda cool my friend!

Discover Film Episode 1: Jamie Brindle

There are more to come.  The only hangup is that when I record the intro and outro, I literally re-record the thing over and over because I feel like it can keep getting better.  But at that rate… it would never go public, and the whole of a podcast is for people to, you know, hear it.

More episodes are coming!

Sherman Oaks Film Festival deadline passes

Posted on by Jeff

It finally happened… after being open for entries all year, the Sherman Oaks Film Festival deadline of August 1 came and went without a bang.  Now the real work begins.  The other judges and I have to watch every film and make the official selections.  It’s fun to watch movies and call it work, but I stress out over it because I know in a month or so we have to make the final decisions and I have to watch EVERY FILM before that time comes.

I’ve seen a few great ones, including one from a screenwriter I met.  I don’t think I’m allowed to tell him early that he’s in.  Then again, what would it hurt?
