Ryan Alan Petti’s film “An American Childhood” that struck right into the heart of the audience at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021.  Like all filmmakers who sit down for a DIF interview, we took some time after the talk to have him answer the four questions above.

I’m delighted to share that “an American Childhood” will join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series.  Season 5 should be released this March, but if you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

If you want to check out Ryan Alan Petti’s YouTube channel, go to Storyteller Industries.

Ryan Alan Petti wrote and directed the short film “An American Childhood” that struck right into the heart of the audience at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021.  As the programmer of the festival, I had to be sure to place Ryan’s film at the end of a block of shorts, because it would be completely unfair to any film to follow it.  And, sincerely, “An American Childhood” is such a balanced, emotionally truthful film that I knew the audiences would need some time to process after watching it.  I know that I do.

I’m delighted to share that “an American Childhood” will join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series.  Season 5 should be released this March, but if you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

Ryan is a thoughtful and devoted filmmaker and it was a pleasure to talk to him.  I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did.

Christopher McNeany wrote, produced, and is the lead actor in the short film “More Than He Knows” that came to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021.  “More Than He Knows” holds the prize for “Sexiest Film of the Fest,” which is an unofficial award that I keep thinking about making official.  Aaaand… it’s official.  I just added that prize to the SOFF 2021 Awards page.

Normally it takes a while for a filmmaker to go from festival to podcast, but Chris was literally wrapping up his festival run at SOFF and I was delighted when he said he wanted to do a podcast and have “More Than He Knows” join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series.  Season 5 should be released this March, but if you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!  And if you don’t want to wait for the “sexy as f*ck” editing of “More Than He Knows” to be in the DIF TV series, you can watch the “sexy as heck” edit of “More Than He Knows” right now on YouTube!

I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did!
