233. Kathryne Isabelle Easton “Borrelia Borealis”

2022/02/08

Kathryne Isabelle Easton wrote, directed and performed the lead role in "Borrelia Borealis," taking home two Grand Jury Awards at the 2021 Sherman Oaks Film Festival. This remarkable feature film was made in her during the depths of the Covid lockdown. Unlike most films made under those conditions, "Borrelia Borealis" stays fresh, engaging and entertaining throughout. And I wrote, "performed the lead role," above very intentionally, because Kathryne is onscreen for nearly every second of this

Filmmaker Daniel Talbott brought his film "Telling Time" to both Film Invasion Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021, taking home the Audience Award at FILA. It was a great joy to me that Daniel brought the film to SOFF in 2021, because after having Daniel involved in two virtual festivals last November we finally got back into the theater. "Telling Time" is such a beautiful film; finally I got to see it in a theater instead of on a TV. It is also a joy to share that "Telling Time"

Ryan Alan Petti wrote and directed the short film "An American Childhood" that struck right into the heart of the audience at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021. As the programmer of the festival, I had to be sure to place Ryan's film at the end of a block of shorts, because it would be completely unfair to any film to follow it. And, sincerely, "An American Childhood" is such a balanced, emotionally truthful film that I knew the audiences would need some time to process after watching it. I

I don't have to tell you that an actor doesn't take home an award if the writer/director didn't do a great job. "Sweetheart" is a thought provoking film and, personally, I could talk about the nuances it deals with for hours. You can watch this great film on
