I’m re-releasing one of my favorite episodes of the pod, my conversation with Scott Monahan, director of ANCHORAGE. Until July 18th, you can vote for ANCHORAGE on Decentralized Pictures — here's the link (https://app.decentralized.pictures/proposal/66886500c16241db6c02d877) — and their team can win $2500 for their next project. Given that this is one of my favorite episodes, and one of my favorite dudes, how could I not re-release to support? So go vote for ANCHORAGE now. (This is assuming you've seen this great indie film. If you haven't, what are you waiting for?) Scott is a phenomenal actor, sure, but I feel like the kindness is genuine. Enjoy this episode, it’s one of my absolute favorites, and see you in Anchorage. In this episode, we talk about Scott growing up with his U.S. Marine-turned middle school guidance counselor family in Japan to crowdfunding for ANCHORAGE at the beginning of the pandemic. We talk about his journey through the film festival circuit and distribution; Film Independent's role in independent film, the multi-hatting necessary for so many independent filmmakers, Scott's larger philosophy in what projects he chooses to be a part of, and what he wants to do next. Go vote on Decentralized Pictures, and I hope you enjoy revisiting my conversation with one of indie film's good guys: Scott Monahan.
