475. Dominique Draper “Hell of a Child”

Happy Tuesday, DIF Listeners! I’ve been very excited to share this episode with everyone so I’m thrilled the time has come.

Writer and director Dominique Draper premiered his film “Hell of a Child” at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2023. This authentic and moving film took home the Programmer’s Prize for Exceptional Filmmaking!
I was honored to get to know Dominique better through this interview. I have heard many people share their path to becoming a filmmaker, but few people have planned their path with the intention and dedication that I heard in Dominique’s story.
This interview is a great one!

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

I was immediately drawn to find out more about filmmaker Bill Prokopow when I meet him at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2023 and as you may have heard on Tuesday’s episode, picking Bill’s creative brain did not disappoint.

Bill’s film “Entrainment” is absolutely a captivating story told in an innovative and unique style and it took home three Filmmakers awards at SOFF 2023; FA – Outstanding Short Film – SciFi, Outstanding Screenplay – SciFi – Bill Prokopow, and Outstanding Creativity – SciFi.

473. Bill Prokopow “Entrainment”

Welcome back,  Discover Indie Film Listeners! Did we all survive Thanksgiving? I’m hoping everyone’s holiday was relaxing and joyful but if you find yourself in need of a energy recharge or some good old creative inspiration to get through this final push of the year, I have the perfect interview for you today.

Did you ever meet somebody and think to yourself that they seem like an incredibly interesting person?
That was my reaction after moderating a Q&A with Bill Prokopow at Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2023. I shouldn’t have been surprised.
Bill’s film “Entrainment” is absolutely a captivating story told in an innovative and unique style; of course its filmmaker is equally interesting.
By the way, I wasn’t the only one impressed with “Entrainment.” It took home three Filmmakers awards at SOFF 2023; FA – Outstanding Short Film – SciFi, Outstanding Screenplay – SciFi – Bill Prokopow, and Outstanding Creativity – SciFi.
I know that I’m biased, but as a SciFi fan I’m quite comfortable saying that the most creative SciFi film is going to be the most creative film at the festival. Nothing beats SciFi for creativity.
As I’m implying, Bill did not disappoint. The creative story of how Bill is reaching towards his goal of transitioning from musician and composer to filmmaker is well worth a listen!
