SXSW 2024 - A House Is Not A Disco and Dickweed
This episode explores two SXSW Film Festival documentaries that are very dick-heavy (literally and figuratively).
A House Is Not A Disco captures a year in the life of the world's most iconic homo-normative community: Fire Island Pines. Director Brian J. Smith and producer Jeremy Truong share the difficulty of staying focused while you're being offered margaritas during filming, how climate change became an important part of the story, and the concept behind "food for bottoms".
Dickweed tells the true story of a heist-gone-wrong that resulted in two people getting kidnapped, one man losing his dick, and no one getting paid. Director Jonathan Ignatius Green joins us to share how he got the green light to tell this story, sharing the narrative from the point of view of the convict as well as the victims, and his interest in true crimes involving everyday people who one day cross the line.

SXSW 2024 - We're All Gonna Die and Desert Road
In this episode we're discussing two SXSW Film Festival narrative films that center around being lost and searching for something.
In We're All Gonna Die, an alien spike has materialized onto the earth's atmosphere, and a struggling beekeeper and a grieving EMT are forced to join forces on a roadtrip after the spike has mysteriously caused the teleportation of his car and her bees. Co-directors/co-writers Freddie Wong and Matthew Arnold join us to discuss their decision to set the apocalypse in our regular world, expressing honesty through lies, and the funny story behind the main character's calf fetish.
Desert Road is a horror/sci-fi about a woman who crashes her car in the middle of the desert and walks down the road for help - only to realize no matter which way she walks, she ends up back at her crashed car. Director/writer Shannon Triplett shares the true story this film is based on, the brilliance of her lead actress who carries the film, Kristine Froseth, and the importance of casting (including heavyweights Beau Bridges and Frances Fisher), and how the success of the shoot was centered on the full moon.

SXSW 2024 - Songs From The Hole and The In Between
In this episode we discuss two beautiful SXSW Film Festival documentaries about processing loss and grief.
Songs From The Hole is a documentary/visual album that follows JJ'88, a prisoner struggling with being both a perpetrator and victim of violence, through hip-hop and soul. We are joined by director Contessa Gayles, producer Richie Reseda, and writer/co-producer JJ'88 as they share why this project evolved from an album to a visual album/film, how they joined forces to create this film, and the importance of forgiveness.
The In Between follows filmmaker Robie Flores as she returns home after the passing of her brother to reflect on her childhood, and what coming of age on the US/Mexico border looks like. Director Robie Flores and her brother/producer Alejandro Flores explain how the entire film was a family affair, their joy in working with sound producer/film composer Camilo Lara, looking within to process grief, and their frustration at the common misrepresentation of life on a border town.

SXSW 2024 - The World According To Allee Willis and Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story
This episode brings you two SXSW Film Festival documentaries that will introduce you to two amazing women that should already be household names.
The World According to Allee Willis shares the story of one of the most successful singer/songwriter/artists of our time, Allee Willis, from her strict upbringing to her creative successes (despite struggling to fit in with sexual and gender norms), and eventually, her path to love. We are joined by director Alexis Spraic, producer Nicholas Coles, and EP/participant Prudence Fenton, who share the finding of hidden gems in Allee's archival footage, if there is potential for this to become a series (yes, please!), and how they are continuing Allee's legacy through the Willis Wonderland Foundation.
Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story, follows the life of one of music's first Black trans performers, and how she made it to the edge of stardom before disappearing. Directors Michael Mabbott and Lucah Rosenberg-Lee describe how they thankfully were able to find Jackie before her sudden death, the importance of the timing of the film's release, and telling the story of a trans woman's life that was filled with joy.

SXSW 2024 - She Looks Like Me and Bob Trevino Likes It
Today we're bringing you two SXSW films (a documentary and a narrative) that deal with the search for family.
She Looks Like Me is a documentary about a baby born without legs who was abandoned by her parents, and finds out that the gymnast she idolized, Dominique Moceanu, is her long lost sister. We were extremely excited to be joined by gold medal gymnast Dominique Moceanu, who shares why she knew it was the right time to make this film, her history of trauma and forgiving her dad, how she looks back on being a part of the '96 Olympic gymnastics team, speaking out against abuse, and how she is working to change the sport for the better.
Bob Trevino Like It is a narrative feature that is inspired by the real life friendship that writer/director Tracie Laymon found with a stranger while searching for her father on social media. Tracie discusses how acts of kindness can create a butterfly effect, getting to work with incredible actors like Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo, and letting go of the people who hurt you to make room for those who want to love you.

SXSW 2024 - An Army of Women and Roleplay
We're bringing you two documentaries from the SXSW Film Festival that tell stories of sexual assault, a broken justice system, and women finding their voice.
An Army of Women follows a group of women in Austin, TX, who join forces to challenge the broken system that allowed their rapists to walk free. Director Julie Lunde Lillesæter and one of the film's subjects, Marina Garrett, join us to share the anger that initially fueled this project, the beautiful community of survivors that lift each other up, and how they hope this story proves that you can fight the system.
Roleplay follows college students as they confront sexual assault on their campus through a transformative theater process. Director Katie Mathews shares how she got connected with the students and this project, the difference it makes when the students are in charge of telling their own stories, her hopes for the future of this project, and the moment she knew she had an important film.
