Episode 28: James Medeiros & Caroline O’Brien

Every once in a while you see a comedy that is so smart, subversive and entertaining that it makes you forget the creators are dealing with the most sensitive political subjects in the world.  Puppet Life is one of those films.

We showed Puppet Life at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival, and being a fan I wasn’t surprised at all that the team behind it gave an incredibly fun Q&A. James Medeiros and Caroline O’Brien wore so many hats on this film that the best title for them is “filmmakers.”  If you want to get technical, James wrote, produced, and performs in the film.  Caroline produced and stars in the film.  But the truth is that their collaboration has a long history, and they made the film together.

I wanted to include these two on Discover Film from its inception, but we had to wait until they both in the United States to do it.  Thankfully, they were both in Los Angeles and took the time to come record a podcast.

But… BEFORE YOU LISTEN, WATCH THE FILM!

Episode 27: DF4Q with Chris Fiore

I thought Chris was going to be the first documentarian to answer the DF4Q, but in his podcast interview I found out that he’s an award winning screenwriter and fine artist as well as a documentary filmmaker.  Basically, Chris is an artist.  No wonder his DF4Q is such a good listen.

Episode 26: Chris Fiore

Chris Fiore directed and produced the documentary short Goodwoman, which won a Grand Jury Prize at Film Invasion L.A. in 2016.  I wanted to know how he had the tools to make such a great film.  The truth is that it is often hard to fill the documentary categories at a film festival, because precious few combine a worthy subject with quality filmmaking.

You should watch Goodwoman right now, because it is a GREAT documentary.  Then you should listen to the podcast and find out how a fine artist turned into a filmmaking pro.

Episode 25: DF4Q with Todd Wiseman Jr.

Based on his film Army of God, I had a feeling Todd was going to have excellent taste in films.  He didn’t let me down.  In fact, his pick for favorite movie of all time is a film that challenges to make my top three whenever I think about it.  And make sure to check out Todd’s film Army of God.
