Welcome back, Listeners!

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 also been a rockstar juror on the FI-LA/SOFF Filmmaker’s Boards so when she asked to return to discuss her crowd sourcing campaign for her upcoming project, “If We Be Friends” I was more than happy to accept.

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 sad I never was able to interview Jon James Smith after he wrote and directed “Last Orders,” a horror short that took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Short Film – Horror at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2022.

Thankfully Jon’s work returned to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 with a new film, “Babushka,” and again he took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Featurette – Horror.

And even better, Jon flew all the way from London for the interview (well the festival) and that meant we had plenty of time to do our in-person 4Qs follow up!
