Episode 97: TJ Power “Your Call Is Important To Us”

TJ Power’s short film Your Call Is Important To Us won four awards at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2018.  Brilliantly smart and bitingly hilarious, this is one of those films that people who worked the festival that year keep bringing up to me as one they will never forget.

When you hear filmmaker TJ Power’s story, two things are going to happen.  First, you’re going to see very clearly why this professional actor was ideally suited to become a great filmmaker.  Second, you’re going to think he’s a terrific guy and wish that you could hang out with him all the time.

Here are the wonderful people whose opinions you will hear on this podcast:

Heather Hillstrom (The King In The Ring)
Caroline O’Brien (Soapy Medium, Puppet Life 1 & 2)
James Medeiros (Puppet Life 1 & 2)
