Happy Hump Day , Folks!
One thing I’ve been noticing for the last few decades — hey, I first got involved in indie film in the late 90’s — is that scripts with two names on them are almost always better than those with one.
No offense to the infinite number of solo writers out there, but I cannot help but notice that the maxim “two minds are better than one” especially applies to screenwriting.
It just might apply to film directing as well.
Writing and directing team Mike Sorce and Matthew Kic sat down with me at the DIF mic’s and shared the very interesting story of how these two came out to L.A. from Arizona and
Texas, ended up in the same mail room, teamed up to write together, and then reached the pinnacle of their careers when the Sherman Oaks Film Festival presented the World Premiere of their short film “Manifesto” in 2023.
Mainfesto took home the Grand Jury Award – Best Screenplay – Short Film, and the Filmmakers Award – Outstanding Short Film – Drama.
Sarcasm aside, Mike and Matt have accomplished a lot of great things since their arrivals in L.A. and it was an absolute delight to have them onto the podcast to share their stories.
During the podcast I promised to share these links:
