Happy Friday, Film Lovers!
It’s an extra special day today because it’s the first night of programming for our 10TH YEAR of the SHERMAN OAKS FILM FESTIVAL!
Hopefully you’re all listening to this podcast on the way to Look Cinemas to catch some of our incredible films.
Something else amazing happened in 2025 and it is because Bob Lindenmayer made the feature documentary, “Making Megaforce,” and submitted it to Film Invasion Los Angeles. What was so amazing? My life partner and best friend, an introvert who refuses to come to any of the film festivals that I run, came to the sold out world premiere of “Making Megaforce” to see it a second time and meet Bob. We had to sit in camping chairs at the front corner of the theater for that sold out show.
Even better, she got to see me grab the one moment during the Q&A that Barry Bostwick took a break from enchanting the entire room to present Bob with The Poppy, the trophy that we introduced for the Best In Fest award at Film Invasion L.A.’s Tenth Anniversary. It should also be noted that “Making Megaforce” is the first documentary to win the Best In Fest – Feature award!
You will have to wait a while to see it because “Making Megaforce” is still on the festival circuit. But when it does get its release, make sure to catch it. Then you’ll know why watching this film is not just entertaining; it is the most genuine love letter to the movies that I’ve ever seen. And you get to see Barry Bostwick and Bob bond in a way that you will never forget!
