120. JJ Anderson & Tito Molina “Jonah”

JJ Anderson & Tito Molina in DIF HQ

JJ Anderson & Tito Molina form the partnership Hrdwrker and  among their many collaborations is the documentary short “Jonah” which won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2018.

Jonah is a beautifully made documentary.  When you watch it you can see the respect and thoughtfulness that the filmmakers have for Jonah, his work, and the medium of filmmaking.  It really should have surprised no one that the Q&A for Jonah at SOFF was delightful and that the filmmakers are delightful people.

JJ and Tito are those people who come over for their interview and I find myself talking with them about all sorts of interesting things in the kitchen until realize that if we don’t hurry up and sit down at the microphones we might forget to actually record an interview.  Fortunately we DID record and interview and you can listen to it below.

Oh yeah!  I’m forgetting to mention that Jonah is part of the Discover Indie Film TV series on Amazon Prime Video. If you want to see Jonah and a bunch of other great films, please click that link and enjoy!

Or you can watch Jonah right below these words.

119. 4Qs with Jeffrey Thompson

A couple of Jeffs around a microphone.

What are the 4Q’s?

  • 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

Jeffrey Thompson is, in no particular order, an actor, a writer, a director, a producer, a comedian, a magician, a professor and an accountant.  Top that!  He’s out hyphenated all of you.  Jeffrey gives some great answers to the DIF4Qs, including the best answer yet for overrated.

Hopefully you will get a chance to see his work.  I should add that his production company Great Hair Productions is one to keep your eye on.

Here are Jeffrey’s answers:

  • Favorites: The Favourite, The Wife, Keep Calm And Tampon
  • Underrated: The Wife
  • Overrated: That Film From Your Childhood
  • Seek Out: Fucking Meryl Streep (short)
