We had the privilege of chatting with writer/director Carlo Mirabella-Davis on the phone about his narrative feature debut, Swallow, starring Haley Bennett. The film is a provocative and squirm-inducing psychological thriller loaded with social commentary, so we naturally had lots to discuss. Join Aaron as he talks to Carlo about the project, its origins, his research, the power of genre, and much much more!

We were lucky enough to snag a seat at an early screening of The Lodge with co-directors Severin Fiala & Veronika Franz, along with cast members Jaeden Martell and Lia McHugh in attendance. The Q&A was as entertaining as it was insightful, with Franz & Fiala both being very light and playful, which after seeing the film, only confirms that they’re most certainly cuckoo — something which we're absolutely here for.

We had the privilege of sitting down with writer, director, composer, and all around good guy, Benh Zeitlin, to discuss his upcoming film Wendy, a unique revisionist retelling of Peter Pan as seen through the eyes of the titular Wendy. It’s loaded with magical realism, naturalistic wonder, and adventure, but it was a long, arduous seven year journey to get it completed. Needless to say, there was plenty to talk about! Join us as we talk with Benh about Wendy’s creative process, production challenges, visual influence, and much much more!

Back in September, we had the opportunity to chat with Oklahoma filmmaker Mickey Reece -- along with his director of photography Sam Calvin, production designer Kaitlyn Shelby, and actress Danielle Evon Ploeger -- about his latest film, Climate of the Hunter, an endearingly ambitious 70s throwback full of comedic melodrama and vampires.

Anthony stops back in to talk about Tarantino's latest, Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood! We discuss and dissect the film, as well as talk a bit of history, and what we hope to see from Tarantino's 10th (and allegedly final) film. It's a swingin' time, baby!

Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood Discussion

Today, Aaron talks with Jocelyn DeBoer & Dawn Luebbe, who wrote, directed, and star in their directorial debut, Greener Grass, a delightful absurdist-surrealist satire about suburban living! Based off the duo’s short film of the same name, the film was a surprise hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and we think it has all the hallmarks of an instant cult classic.  We talk about the films trajectory from short to feature, Midwestern casseroles, directing dogs versus children, John Waters, and much much more! If you haven't heard about the film or need more info, run on over to viddy-well.com and check out our review: https://www.viddy-well.com/reviews/greener-grass-2019  Short on time?!
