460. Gerrit Van Woudenberg “Quantum Suicide”

Welcome back to our Discover Indie Film community. I’m very excited to share this interview with Gerrit Van Woudenberg!

Gerrit  brought his feature film Quantum Suicide to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2024 and took home two Grand Jury Awards;
Best Feature Film – SciFi and Best Production Design – Feature Film.

I rarely mention awards from other festivals, but Quantum Suicide also won Best Science Fiction Feature at the Philip K Dick Film Festival and that’s too cool to not mention.

Made in the excellent tradition of SciFI Indies such as Pi and Primer, I can honestly say that in many ways Gerrit exceeded the standard set by those amazing SciFi pioneers. How? Well, you just have to watch the film and you can because it gets released the day after this podcast!

To find out where you can see it, just go to https://quantumsuici.de/ but, personally, I hope that you find it on VOD and pay to see it without commercials.

If you want to find the film on social media, use the handle @quantumthefilm

APPY THURSDAY, FILM LOVERS! This week I chatted with Nathan Tape via Zoom from New Orleans. Nathan brought his feature film “Off Ramp” to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2023 and it is fair to say the film cleaned up the awards, taking home six! In other words, you should watch “Off Ramp” as soon as possible by going to www.offrampfilm.com/watch.
