TGIFF! (Film Friday)<\/p>\n

Graham High directed a film that will forever live in my heart, \u201cThe Housesitters,\u201d because not enough people make wonderfully acerbic comedies. Written by lead actors Erin Pineda & Matt McConkey,
\nwho co-produced with Graham and his sister Brittany High, \u201cThe Housesitters\u201d is smart and hilarious, and it makes me love its two lead characters even if they show close to zero redeeming qualities. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Graham took that wonderful script and directed it perfectly, taking home several awards at Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2022 including Best Lead Actress – Short Film – The Housesitters – Erin Pineda and
\nBest Lead Actor – Short Film – The Housesitters – Matt McConkey.<\/p>\n

Thankfully Graham kept in touch over the years and thanks to a little prodding from Karina, this podcast\u2019s producer, we managed to finally record this interview. Yay!<\/p>\n
