\ncreative partner in that film, director, co-writer and producer Parker Croft.<\/p>\n
By the way, \u201cAs Easy As Closing Your Eyes\u201d won several awards at SOFF 2024, but I will just mention this one, Best in Fest – Featurette. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Sure, I could list the rest, but who has time?<\/p>\n
This chat with Parker is a truly enjoyable one. I hope listening to it is half as fun as it was to have this conversation.<\/p>\n
