Episode 59: Seth Coltan

Seth being subtle on the FILA red carpet.

Seth Coltan is a humble, reserved man who doesn’t realize what a powerhouse talent he is.  His short obSETHed: Memorial Day is one of the rock-solid funniest short films you’re going to see.  And as an actor he very humbly shares that he has made appearances on Broad City, Workaholics, and American Horror Story.  Yet he is going to try to convince everyone he meets that he’s not going anywhere.  Don’t believe him.  Seth kicks ass.

Memorial Day was one of my favorites at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2017, and after many emails I was able to drag Seth up to the house for an interview.  I’m really glad that I got to know him better.  Hanging out with him for an afternoon was a blast, and I look forward to seeing more of him.

Enough praise… WATCH the movie below and then listen to the interview.  You owe it to yourself to have some fun now and then.

Grand Jury Prize winner STAY offers Secret Perk

Last year, Grand Jury Prize winner for feature film was Stay, a great movie that programmer Jeff Howard said reminded him of Soderbergh’s early work.

Stay is going the self-distribution route and is on Indiegogo right now.  The producers are offering a “Secret Perk” for those anyone associated with SOFF.  Click here for the Stay SOFF secret perk.

Your friends at SOFF believe in our alumni and you all know we’ve made an effort to create a community of filmmakers around this festival.  We wanted to share this “secret perk” with you all, just in case some of you want to help out a fellow filmmaker.
