298. Chris Hall, Patrick Tamisiea & Nicholas Leeds “Bryers Cucumber Tostinos”

The short film “Bryers Cucumber Tostinos” came to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in November 2020 and simply kicked ass.  The film brought home FOUR awards, including the Grand Jury Prize for Best Short Film – Comedy, the Filmmakers Awards for Outstanding Acting by a Cast – Comedy and Outstanding Acting by an Individual – Comedy for Patrick Tamisiea, as well as Outstanding Cinematography – Comedy for Rachel Dusa.

For this podcast, the three key contributors to the film hopped onto Zoom; director/producer Chris Hall, lead actor/writer Patrick Tamisiea, and writer Nicholas Leeds.  Three terrifically talented people who not only made a great film but stayed friends through the process!  I’m proud to say that you can catch “Bryers Cucumber Tostinos” in Season 6, Episode 1 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!

294. Fr3deR1cK Taylor “Pre-Existing Freedom”

Fr3deR1cK Taylor is an artist who doesn’t just cross boundaries, he smashes them.  He’s a filmmaker, a writer, a performance artist, and more.  My favorite descriptor for Fr3deR1cK is “public intellectual,” because in my opinion the world needs intelligent, learned people to influence society.  His Documentary Short “Pre-Existing Freedom” was an Official Selection at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and took home the award for Outstanding Performance by an Individual, Documentary.  And I’m proud to say that you can catch “Pre-Existing Freedom” in Season 7 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!
