Happy Monday, Film Lovers! I can’t believe we are already in June which means we are just weeks away from the 2025 Film Invasion Los Angeles Film Festival.

This episode is for all of you horror fans out there.

540. 4Qs with Samantha Baugnon

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

On Wednesday’s Episode of Discover Indie Film,  Producer Samantha Baugnon hopped onto Zoom to talk about “Homeschooled,” a feature length documentary releasing to streaming VOD on June 1!

You should visit their official website at https://homeschooledthemovie.com/ right now and find out where to see it!

This wonderfully made documentary takes a fresh, respectful and in- depth look at diverse variety of homeschooled kids and brings them together for a Prom at the end.

It is truly the perfect conclusion of a beautiful film and I’m hoping this follow up 4Qs serves as an equally worthy ending of our chat.

You can also follow the film on Instagram at @homeschooledthemovie

539. Samantha Baugnon “Homeschooled”

Welcome Back, Listeners!

Producer Samantha Baugnon hopped onto Zoom to talk about “Homeschooled,” a feature length documentary releasing to streaming VOD on June 1!

You should visit their official website at https://homeschooledthemovie.com/ right now and find out where to see it! If you can watch the trailer on that website and not want to see the movie,                               then I’m just going to move you to the “dead inside” column.

You might think that the title “Homeschooled” tells you all you need to know about this movie, but you’d be wrong.                                                                                                                                                      This wonderfully made documentary takes a fresh, respectful and in- depth look at diverse variety of homeschooled kids and brings them together for a Prom at the end. How cool is that?

I already gave you the website, but you can also follow the film on Instagram at @homeschooledthemovie

I hope you enjoy this podcast AND the movie!
