573. Lindsay Nyman “They Call Me The Tattoo Witch”

It’s a great day today because Filmmaker Lindsay Nyman returns to the podcast! And she was zooming in from Berlin!

Back in April, 2018, Lindsay appeared on Episode 57 to talk about her pilot, “The Blind Center.”                                                                                                                                                                                  That wonderful film played at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2017 and took home the Grand Jury Award for Narrative Short Film.

Thanks to Instagram I was able to keep up with Lindsay over the years and then she returned with a new film in 2024, “They Call Me The Tattoo Witch.”                                                                                       This remarkable documentary,  directed by Lindsay, screened at Sherman Oaks Film Festival and took home the Grand Jury Awards for Best Short Film – Documentary and Best Cinematography – Short Film for Katie Eleneke.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Lindsay’s peers on the Filmmakers Board also awarded her with the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Direction – Documentary!

Lindsay directed and produced the film, working side by-side with cinematographer Katie Eleneke and assembling an all-female crew local to Hanoi.                                                                                            Lindsay always credits the heart and authenticity of the film to this extraordinary Vietnamese team, who brought their talent, care, and cultural insight to the process and became like family.

572. 4Qs with Vincent Salvano

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.

Vincent Salvano’s film Crosby was at FI-LA 2018 and he has been such a busy young person — graduating college, working PA jobs at fantastic places like Pixar and such — that it took us SEVEN years of scheduling and rescheduling this podcast before we managed to record this!

That means seven years eagerly anticipating what his 4 Questions might be!

571. Vincent Salvano “Crosby”

A Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

Vincent Salvano’s film Crosby was at FI-LA 2018 and he has been such a busy young person — graduating college, working PA jobs at fantastic places like Pixar and such — that it took us SEVEN years of scheduling and rescheduling this podcast before we managed to record this!

I’m so impressed with Vincent’s filmmaking journey and it was definitely worth the wait to chat with him.

569. 4Qs with Rosalie Alspach

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 first had Rosalie Alspach on the podcast in July of 2021 to discuss how her short film “The Hostess” rocked Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020.                                                                                              Rosalie has generously offered her film expertise as a juror on the FI-LA/SOFF Filmmaker’s Boards and recently returned to the podcast to discuss her crowd sourcing campaign for her upcoming project, “If We Be Friends”.

I always love returning to someones 4Qs years later to see how their answers have changed!
