Welcome to spooky season in this re-release of my conversation with filmmaker Hoku Uchiyama. Published last year while he was crowdfunding for WHITCH, we talk about: his filmmaking in the Bay Area starting when he was around 10; his new project, a horror comedy short; his fantastic team and whether you could put together such a cool group of people if you were a horrible person (his answer: probably not); behavior standards in indie film, the constraints and excitements of a five minute project, and more.
