534. 4Qs with Jonathan Latona

Posted on by Jeff

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.

Jonathan Latona has returned to DIF because last year his latest feature, “DESTINATION:HOLYWOOD” was an official selection at Sherman Oaks Film Festival.                                                                                         We had another fantastic chat and follow up 4 Questions. After listening,  I highly recommend check out his work at https://www.jonathanlatona.com
