You want to talk about indie filmmakers?  Between them, Sara O’Reilly &Jeremy Foley wrote, produced, directed, and edited the award winning short film The Faceless Man.  On top of that, they’re totally nice people and everyone who worked with them on this laborious passion project speaks highly of them.  Even their lead actor, who endured hours of a prosthetic make-up application every day of the shoot, felt strongly enough about the film that he joined them at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival and said nothing but positive things about them at the Q&A.  Not surprisingly, The Faceless Man took home a Grand Jury Prize at SOFF.

On top of that, I want to mention that this lovely couple are genuine film lovers.  They basically attended every screening of every film at the festival, showing support for their fellow filmmakers.  This is called a class act.

Enough praise… WATCH the film below and then listen to the interview.  And know when you watch it that there are NO DIGITAL EFFECTS in this film.

What is DIF4Q?  It’s the Discover Indie Film Four Questions.

• • 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

Zach Kanner was the lead actor and producer of the feature film Stay, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2017.  He played a bad guy, a really bad guy, and made it work.  If you think that’s easy, then you’ve never taken a stab at film acting.

Zach came in for a Discover Indie Film interview with his Stay collaborators Christopher Cramer and Devin Brooke.  They got to sit in on his DIF4Q and add their commentary to hers, just as he did for theirs.

Stay is not available for you to watch yet, but you can learn a lot more about it here.

What were Zach’s DIF4Q answers?

• Favorites: The Master, Clerks, Tommy Boy
• Underrated: Everybody Wants Some
• Overrated: Inglorious Basterds
• Seek Out: The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Xtro
