Patrick Cohen started out as a huge movie fan.  The kind of person who watched movies all the time, over and over.  Before he knew it he was a working actor in New York and soon enough he was out in L.A. adding writing to his resume.  Last year he directorial debut First Dates was a hit at Film Invasion Los Angeles.  I knew with his experience on both sides of the camera Patrick was going to give a great list for his Four Questions.

What are the 4Q’s?

• 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

Here are Patrick’s answers:

• Favorites: Raiders Of The Lost Ark, The Quiet Man, It’s A Wonderful Life, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
• Underrated: 1941
• Overrated: The Shape Of Water
• Seek Out: It’s A Disaster

Patrick Cohen brought his great short film First Dates to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2018 and it was a smash hit.  It’s a funny thing to say, but nowadays not too many filmmakers aim to make their audience feel good.  And First Dates is a refreshingly feel-good film.

Patrick came in for a DIF interview even though First Dates isn’t online for you to watch it yet.  But you’re going to be able to watch it online soon… and other ways, too!  (More on that later!)

It was great to hear how this actor, writer, and director made his way from the East Coast to sunny Los Angeles.  We hope you enjoy the interview!

The short film STUCK didn’t just win a Programmer’s Prize at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival, it also won the prestigious IBM Watson Award at the AT&T Createathon 2018 competition.  And the filmmaker behind STUCK is writer, director and producer Ryan Larkin.

I mention this during the interview, but Ryan is the only filmmaker so far to have a film be an Official Selection at Film Invasion Los Angeles in June and have another film be an Official Selection at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in the same year.

Ryan has an exciting new project in the works, Let’s Make A Horror Movie.  You can learn all about it on his YouTube page for thinkFAST Productions.

But…

Before you listen to the podcast you should definitely watch STUCK … right now!
