This man has vision and the ability to make things happen. That includes acting, writing, producing and directing in addition to organizing a creative collective named Great Hair Productions.

Patrick Connolly stops by for a DIF interview The first time that I saw Patrick Connolly's The Creeping Ritual it basically kicked my ass. How a short film could bring together spirituality, punk rock, coconut water, sex, the Devil and God into one story and have it entertain all the way through? I don't know how, but The Creeping Ritual does it. I'm proud to say that The Creeping Ritual is part of season two of the Discover Indie Film TV Series. It's just the kind of innovative, original film

Writer/Director Anderson Cowan had a great screening at the festival and a great Q&A, so I knew he'd be a great filmmaker to interview for the podcast.

Philip A. Ramos stops by DIF HQ to record with Jeff. The first time I saw The Kidnapping of a Fish was at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2016 when it took home a Grand Jury Prize for Short Film. This super enjoying film mixes drama, comedy and action in a way that few short films can manage. In fact, if ever there was a short that audiences watched and said, "That felt like a feature film," it was The Kidnapping of a Fish. Writer/Director Philip A. Ramos also turned out to be as nice a person

Q&A with D.A. Keenan following the Rotsy premiere at SOFF 2018. The horror comedy Rotsy was a hit when it premiered at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2018. The brainchild of writer/director/producer D.A. Keenan, Rotsy is the touching tale of a killer clown spending quality time with his fellow mass murderers. This smart, hilarious, visually stunning film has been rocking festival audiences ever since. Because it's still working its way through the festival circuit, you cannot watch Rotsy here
