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
