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

Film producer Linda Christina Riedmann came in to talk about her multiple award winning short film The Wind Phone, so of course I also had her answer the DIF Four Questions.

Here are Linda’s answers:

• Favorites: Girl Interrupted, The Hours, The Silence of The Lambs, Brokeback Mountain
• Underrated: Mama Mia!
• Overrated: American Psycho, Black Panther
• Seek Out: Appropriate Behavior, Never Look Away

This podcast represents the second DIF interview for The Wind Phone, a beautiful short film that pulled in 6 awards at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2019.  Linda Christina Riedmann produced this amazing film and I have to say that she and writer/director Kristen Gerweck represent one of the healthiest, most productive filmmaking partnerships I’ve seen on the festival circuit.

You cannot watch The Wind Phone online yet.  It came this close to making the shortlist for the Oscar for Best Live Action Short.  Yes, this film is that good.  I cannot tell you how disappointed I was when I didn’t make the list.  I know the Oscar process is more about publicity than quality, but there’s a little spot in my heart and my head that hopes for the day quality triumphs.

Instead of complaining all day, I will just let you know that whenever Linda & Kristen decide to release The Wind Phone online, I will be sure to include a link here for you to see it.  Then you can be as angry as I am about the Oscar snub.

There’s no major spoilers in this interview.  Just the fascinating story how a talented, hard-working young woman from Austria ended up in Los Angeles producing Oscar worthy short films.

Yep.

Enjoy hearing from Linda!

Kristen Gerweck’s short film The Wind Phone won six awards at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2019 and there’s a chance, I’m hoping a good one, that it will be on the shortlist for the best Live Action Short Oscar.  Whenever someone makes a work of art like The Wind Phone I’m always very interested to hear their favorites and explore the films that I’m missing from my vocabulary.

Here are Kristen’s answers:

• Favorites: Never Look Away (Germany),  2001: A Space Odyssey, Some Like It Hot, Tree of Life
• Underrated: Love & Mercy
• Overrated: Bohemian Rhapsody
• Seek Out: Like Father, Like Son (Dir. Hirokazu Koreeda)
