Hey Folks, it’s time for another returning champion!

Jonathan Latona was on DIF episode 193, back on Sept 27, 2021, to talk about his feature film “DOUG.”                                                                                                                                                                       But I met Jonathan even earlier than that, because his short film “Circles” played at Sherman Oaks Film Festival back in 2018.

Jonathan has returned to DIF because last year his latest feature, “DESTINATION:HOLYWOOD” was an official selection at Sherman Oaks Film Festival.                                                                                         I highly recommend check out his work at https://www.jonathanlatona.com

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.

Christopher Saint wrote, directed and produced the film “Śokasana,” a beautiful film that had its world premiere as an official selection at Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2024 and it took home a Programmer’s Prize for Exceptional Filmmaking.

Christopher impressed me with his professionalism, artistic vision, and, of course, his 4 Questions!

Welcome back, DIF Listeners!

Christopher Saint wrote, directed and produced the film “Śokasana,” a beautiful film that had its world premiere as an official selection at Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2024 and it took home a Programmer’s Prize for Exceptional Filmmaking. I don’t want to spoil what Chris reveals during this podcast; suffice to say that he completely surprised me with his professional and artistic background.

It was a pleasure to learn the origins of “Śokasana.” If you listen to enough of these podcasts you will come to know that for me there are no topics more important to human storytelling than grief, loss and pain.

Kevin Lee brought his Horror-Rom-Com short film “Aly” to the 2024 edition of the Sherman Oaks Film Festival and took home the Programmer’s Prize for Exceptional Filmmaking!

I truly enjoyed my chat with this unique and talented filmmaker and was eager to get to his 4 Questions.
