David Thompson on the set of his feature “Ojai”

David Thompson created the award winning film “Long Distance,” and I say “created” intentionally because this unique film is truly an example of an artist creating something for all the right reasons, seeing where it might go and discovering exactly what it needs to be.  The great news is that you can watch “Long Distance” right now in Season 3 Episode 9 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!

David and I hopped onto Zoom to talk about his his career, what guided him into being a filmmaker, and what he has coming next.
