49. Miri Stone “The Hunter”

Discover Indie Film ·

2018/03/15

The first time I ever programmed a film festival was Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2016. The first film that screened was The Hunter. Which means that my first Q&A with (as the Q, not the A) was Miri Stone. Like all Q&A's, we only had around 10 minutes to talk, so this filmmaker from Seattle with a New Zealand accent who made an incredible original short film remained a mystery to me. She's not a mystery any longer! Miri would have been one of the first interviews on this podcast, but we waited

2018/03/07

We all made a bunch of predictions in The Oscars Prediction Podcast, so of course we had to meet again to discuss the Oscars results.

Some have already done a podcast interview, and some are on my to-do list. In alphabetical order they were: Alex Merkin, (Episode 41), Ashley Campbell (Episode 5), Caroline O'Brien

At the last minute I thought it would be fun to bring in some filmmakers who'd previously done the podcast, and after sending out some invites I managed to get three people on the mic at the same time. Caroline O'Brien (Episode 28), Alex Merkin, (Episode 41) and James Medeiros (Episode 28) came in and we shared out picks and favorites for all of the top Oscars. This is a fun one, and just might help you with your Oscar pool. Comments are blocked on this website. To discuss Discover Film episodes,

Jeff & Alex at the 2016 Sherman Oaks Film Festival. This Modern Man Is Beat won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2016, and I never stopped thinking about how beautifully cinematic it is. I knew from working with the filmmakers that there would be a good story behind it, and director Alex Merkin did not disappoint. What I didn't know is how many fils Alex has behind him and ahead of him. I couldn't be happier for this talented young man. As always... watch the film

Trunk Space is one of those shorts you watch and think, "I really really really hope these filmmakers get to make a feature film. Soon." Honestly, the best part about working at a film festival is seeing great work from young people that puts the big-budget Hollywood movies to shame. In this podcast, I got to talk to Max Silver who wrote and directed Trunk Space. Max has walked a fascinating path to get where he is today.
