Episode 22: Preston Peterson & Jason Boesch

Posted on November 1, 2017December 3, 2017 by Jeff

I met filmmaking team Preston Peterson & Jason Boesch when their film West Virginia Stories won a Grand Jury Prize at Film Invasion L.A. in 2016. Along with the other feature films that have been included in the Discover Film podcast, West Virginia Stories is a movie that I consider much better than what is playing at the local multiplex.

I was chatting with a festival board member about films, and West Virginia Stories came up. I wanted to know if it had gotten distribution yet, and it turns out that at this very moment it is being shopped at AFM. I figured this was as good a time as any to talk with Preston & Jason.

It’s my hope that West Virginia Stories will be released soon. Until then, you can enjoy its trailer.

Episode 20: Paulina Lagudi

Posted on October 18, 2017December 3, 2017 by Jeff

Paulina Lagudi wrote and produced This Is How, an absolute audience favorite at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2016. Most of the filmmakers who have come in for a Discover Film interview have surprised me, but perhaps none more than Paulina. From her birthplace and background to her path behind the camera, Paulina surprised me every step of the way.

You can watch This Is How right now – and THEN you should listen to the interview.
