283. 4Qs with Rob Campoy

What are the 4Q’s?  (1) Favorite films, top 3. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

Rob Campoy brought his film “A Face on the Ceiling” to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021 and took home the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Short Film – Horror.  I’m proud to say that this engaging, innovative film is part of Season 6 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!

Rob brought all of his talents to “A Face on the Ceiling,” serving as writer, director, cinematographer and more.  In fact, this film is one of the shining examples of how some artists produced great work while trapped at home during lockdown.  We hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did!

281. 4Qs with Finn McCager Higgins

What are the 4Q’s?  (1) Favorite films, top 3. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

Finn McCager Higgins and I discussed his stunning film “In The Pines” in the podcast before this one.  Finn co-wrote, co-directed, and played a lead role in the film.  I’m proud to say that this “In The Pines” is part of Season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

As long as we were on Zoom, of course I had Finn answer the 4Qs above..

280. Finn McCager Higgins “In The Pines”

Finn McCager Higgins made the stunning film “In The Pines” with his collaborator Tom Groom.  They co-wrote, co-directed, and both played lead roles in the film.  Finn brought his film to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2021 and this Lynchian, personal, beautiful film left an impact on me. I’m proud to say that this film is part of Season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

At 41 minutes, it was the “longest short” we had ever programmed.  In fact, it was the excellence of “In The Pines” and the awards jury’s difficulty grasping how to compare a 41 minute film with films under 15 minutes that inspired us in 2022 to create the category “featurette.”  Now films between 20-60 minutes have their own playing field and they should be thanking Finn and Tom for it.
