The following is a sooner orgator production.
The following is a sooner orgator production.
Keep it going now.
This short answer is yes.
The long answer, because it is time for another iTunes exclusive.
Right here on the clubhouse podcast, if you're listening to this, you already subscribed
on iTunes and we greatly appreciate that.
So you need to tell two friends and then they can tell two friends and if you didn't
live in the 70s, you have no idea what I'm talking about right now.
My name is Rob and it is the official post show, I got you going to post show for the
second episode we've done live in the lounge at the Dallas International Film Festival.
It is Friday night.
It will be record this.
To my right, normally he's across the desk from even more in the studio.
But when we're live, he's to my right because if he has his back to the fans, he can't
welcome the millions and millions of his fans around the world.
He is chatting.
There's time to say across the desk, it makes me say sound like I'm about to receive
slots from the principal of the office.
I don't have that kind of energy normally.
Really.
And then there's the whole sub-tech that's just creepy at that point.
Also joining us across from Chad is the official back checker of this show.
He's the one that's when the wheels are almost completely gone.
He at least finds one lucky nut to keep them on.
You may know him as fun, done, go, but his mama column is done.
Ford, I'm a column, done, Ford.
Hello, sir.
Third show here.
Second tonight.
I'm an epic boy.
You can get the workout tonight.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
But while we're working.
And the humidity is not helping.
We're going again.
Third show from the Dallas International Film Festival.
We are three for three for having guests right off the bat.
We don't even have to, we don't have to like just tap there.
We can go straight into this joining us now.
We have the director of about the mom and dad.
And by a country mild, the best dressed person at this table.
She is Rachel Shepherd.
Welcome to the show.
It's like a right into that microphone.
I'm going to say I'm not the best dressed person.
She's looking to choose her.
I'm enjoying the polo.
Because I'm a big supporter of the polo.
Okay.
I think you need some rhinestones.
You know what?
We've my name across the back.
I think it's like an 80 statin jacket.
I'm in.
I got one of the house.
Because you're running a Michael's and get him a like a clean kid or something.
A bit of a dazzle.
A dazzle.
A dazzle.
Kids are calling it.
It's a film festival.
It's a film festival.
And when I'm at a film festival.
But I go run it.
I'm here on this show.
I'm just kidding.
That's right.
Do what you got to do brother.
If you want to sit down, sit down.
If you don't, you don't.
I'm under judge you hour.
I'm doing my job.
It's a fair point.
About mom and dad.
Two screenings here at the Dallas International Film Festival.
Can I just say, first of all, I love, I'm on the IMBV page or this.
I love the tagline.
A film about the family you never wanted to have, but you could not imagine within
her house.
That is genius.
Thank you.
I wrote that myself.
It looks like that.
I'm in another.
And beats mine.
I was on the tagline.
For a movie or a book, I was going to make about my family.
Yeah.
Putting the fun back into function.
Yeah.
No, I like that.
Can I steal this?
That's your.
You guys.
He's also not the first.
You're not the first.
You just took it from you.
You got more juice than me.
So fair point.
But you know, I was reading about this film.
We were doing this show here last Friday.
And one of your stars was like, she hit the triple crown having three movies
in one day.
So you're the second person who's, you're the second film we've covered.
First, last week we covered ladies of the house.
Of course we're talking about fair white.
But I was reading this inopsis of this film.
And you know what?
What better way to find out your husbands and having some activities.
Then on the weekend of your daughter's wedding.
You know, it's all about timing, sir.
It's all about timing.
But you know what?
This is your film.
I want you to talk about your film.
Well, yes.
Terry, the main character of the film, finds out that her husband is cheating on her.
The week of her daughter's wedding.
But the backstory of this film is that it's a film based on a true story
about my parents, about my mom and dad.
My dad cheated on my mom.
And we made a movie about it.
And then he came and watched it.
So, so he's, no.
He, okay.
So he always told me.
I'm going to get comfortable here.
Hold on.
Get comfortable.
He, my dad always told me growing up that I should write what I know.
It's fair point.
Fair point.
And so I was like, great dad.
You have the best stories.
Like that one time you cheated on mom.
And like the whole town knew about it.
And it was awesome.
Let's have some beers.
And let's buy that one.
And so we did.
We had some beers.
And my dad went into the whole story.
And spoiler alert.
They did get back together.
And they've been married for 35 years.
And it's the thing is about my parents is that they have the greatest love story that
I've ever heard because it's a true love story.
And it's also quirky and crazy.
So we made this drama.
And they're very supportive.
When we had our screenings here at the Dallas International Film Festival.
They held court in downstairs.
Everyone came up.
And they're like, you're so cool.
That you're like letting your daughter do this.
And my mom's an old hippie.
And my dad's a redneck.
They ate it all.
But I come.
And let us regal you with the tale that you're about to see.
Or have already seen or will see.
Outstanding.
Yeah.
And I drama taught.
I mean, the kids are all dramatized.
I didn't cheat with my sisters.
Soon to be husband.
And I was getting married about the time that this happened with my parents.
And the film is really about how the kids,
your children, or you growing up.
Always see or think about relationships based on how your parents are.
So if your parents get divorced, you think marriage sucks.
And if they say together, you think marriage is awesome.
What's wrong with you guys?
Yeah.
And I am actually a child of divorce.
And you've been divorced how many years?
My parents divorced.
I was very, very, very young.
But did you get divorced?
No, no, no.
The lovely and talented misses that are of a night.
Just a today as a matter of fact.
And I'm glad you said that.
Uh oh.
Today April 11 is our half anniversary.
So it's 10 and a half years today.
10 and a half years.
I've been 13 myself.
So.
So I've been through one divorce personally.
myself.
I'm on my second marriage now.
He had his practice marriage.
So he's on the real one now.
And I'm going to say call that.
He officiated this second marriage.
Oh, that's good.
I am ordained to the universal life church.
So I get to work to do weddings.
It's actually.
I love it.
I think it's great.
Only one thing better than having your best friend be your best man.
Haven't performed this there.
Right.
He wouldn't let me do the whole our city hall preacher from coming to America.
Which I thought was the best way to do it.
But.
Well, she's in my wife's from England.
And I think that would completely go over her.
But then the whole audience would enjoy that.
Everyone's coming to see us.
So was this was this the world premiere?
Do you hear the Dutch National Film Festival?
It was the world premiere of about Mom and Dad.
We sold out vote screenings, which was awesome.
We got to premiere it in our backyard.
And we're we're looking for television next.
So we're going to pitch it to a few television places and see if it sticks.
I mean, I think it's a melodrama.
But it's a drama.
And it can be cleaned up for broadcasts.
But yeah, that was going to be my next question.
Who's on the short list?
That was just.
She's going to be asking us if you had your brothers.
If I said, here's every channel on the planet.
Where do you want it to go?
I would want it to go somewhere like Ovation or want to pivot.
One of the new channels that really take chances on artists.
It could go.
I think it could play lifetime movie network.
It's very female, driven film, character driven films.
Usually women love that stuff.
So yeah, I would say like Ovation lifetime owned something like that.
I bet Oprah would love this movie.
Well, you've got Brent Anderson in this film.
He's a guy that you look at.
And you're like, I know that guy.
That guy's been like every movie I've ever seen.
He's also a soldier.
Yeah.
You're the return.
Was that the one Bill Goldberg in it?
Yep.
And he was also a DOA.
Oh, God.
Yes.
He also did some video game work.
But he's one of those guys that you see on you.
I've seen this guy in everything that's ever been made.
How long did it take you to film it?
We actually shot in 11 days.
Amazingly.
130 pages and 11 days with eight principal actors.
So it was kind of crazy.
Not a lot of money.
We all stayed in a big crew house and everyone slept on the floor.
It was good times.
It was like summer camp.
That's the way to do it.
Keep everybody together.
Keep everybody relatable.
Lost my train of thought.
So you've premiered here.
Where's it going?
I mean, you get it.
Any other festivals?
It's going to play out because we want people to see this fell.
Well, no.
We decided we wanted to premiere here and then we were going to go straight to television.
So we've hired a sales agent who's going to pitch it and hopefully some time at the end of this year.
People will be able to see it.
And then we'll go, well, we'll go Netflix, iTunes, that kind of thing.
And anyone who wants to know any more information, Facebook about Mom and Dad.
Pretty easy.
One thing I love about the internet.
Especially IMDB.
IMDB now is doing this.
This is this film.
You chose it.
And these are the films we suggest.
This second suggested film to tie into your film from IMDB.
Will you walk in the chocolate factory?
Not exactly the same.
No.
Maybe family is, I don't know.
That's a good one.
That's a stretch.
That's probably my favorite.
Very good company, though.
Really good company.
The scariest movie I saw as a child.
And now I'm growing up to make scary stories about my parents.
It's perfect.
I got it.
Any other films that you were impressed by at the festival that you got to see or filmed
that you're intrigued by?
I loved produce.
It's a good family film.
Talk to the cast and crew of that great group of people.
I love to get to come.
I love flutter who just won the Texas competition.
And we're going to talk about that here in just a minute for sure.
Awesome.
We from Dallas.
We actually don't.
And I wouldn't saw that.
So good.
As a guy that we talk about, you know, he's he's born and raised here.
I can go to here in my 20s.
And to just see that that history.
Yes.
You know, it's just.
We were talking on our on our previous show.
How they just, I know, we were talking to the pre show.
How it's going and going and going and going and going.
And then there's just this emergency break moment.
Or just the vanilla ice chapter.
And you know, it's just, it's very well done.
We all have a vanilla ice chapter in our life.
I think I'm not.
You can't hide from that.
You can't hide from it.
Can I say that I can't confirm or deny that?
Can I?
Can I say it?
I think I didn't do it.
I did not just have a molotser.
I had the greatest molot in the history of molots.
That was your video.
It was not.
It was not spike.
It was feathered and came back.
That was your vanilla ice chapter.
I'm not because I had one too.
I will admit it.
No, you're cousin had a vanilla ice.
No, it's cousin had the air.
Oh.
And there is photo.
And there is photo evidence.
It's in your picture.
And you guys were in 93.
That's the perfect time.
Oh yeah.
I would say that my favorite film here though.
It was my second favorite film that's out by behind Richard Linkletters boyhood.
But this film.
Texas film.
Texas filmmaker.
Amazing film.
Helion.
Helion is probably.
We talked to that cast on Wednesday night.
Helion is such.
It captures.
What.
Independent filmmakers could do if they just spent the time to write the best thrombas
that they can.
Amazing cast.
Mostly Dallas cast.
Aaron Paul.
Throw me crazy.
And I love love.
Helion.
We were talking to the cast.
And I think I actually.
I don't get a lot of strokes of genius in this life.
I don't claim to be a smart man.
But we were talking to the kids.
And I asked them the question what was your favorite part about doing the movie.
And it was like they've gone from I was hearing the same questions over.
And they're all of their eyes lit up and they're like the truck scene.
And I'm like, well, tell me about the truck scene.
They're like, we got to beat up a truck with bats and then light it on fire.
And I was like, and they beat you for that.
They're like, where you go?
Well Pat Camler who directed that film.
She's a very, she speaks very softly.
And she teaches.
She's wonderful.
But man, she's got a rock star soul.
I mean, I bet she has a mole in her past.
I mean, she has a blue rock star soul.
Loves that loud.
And what did I love about talking to her incredibly gracious?
Like, she just kind of like just talk to them.
I'm going to be over here if you want to talk to me.
But these are my these these are my these these are my my movie children talk to them.
And really what I don't think it surprised me there was.
You know the Aaron Paul questions are coming.
Right.
I'm not coming off of breaking bad.
You know, I talked to the producers and I said, hey, did you let him know that this is not mean for speech?
You're right.
But I like we think we think you knew.
But I think he was given an avenue after breaking bad.
Where he's on that height of that drama.
I mean, he still will have the beard and how you know.
You know, so I'm sure he's still feeling a lot of those same emotions.
And it was he was able to embrace this family man.
And it's such an interesting character of someone who's lost his wife.
Having to raise kids, feeling so much guilt and shame.
And also just that loss.
And he embodies it so well.
And then you go watch him and need for speed.
And it's just fun, high octane, crazy music.
And my thing with that is you didn't even have to name it that.
You could have just named it Guy and a car that once revenge with people.
Like you didn't have to name it after a video game.
But it really has nothing to do with accepting cars.
And that was where my frustration came.
And we've talked about that on this show.
Um, off to beat in question.
We talked about the Dallas International Film Festival.
What non film festival movie are you looking forward to most right now?
Guardians of the Galaxy.
Crazy.
I believe we have a winner.
You now have a big fan.
See, I have a room in my house dedicated to comic books.
Mostly Marvel.
If you DC, um, the dark night obviously I have for anything by Frank Miller.
I have in my house.
Have we, have we reached the ceiling of points?
Have we, have we rolled over the proverbial?
You just got straight sevens across the slide.
But I'm looking forward to rock it.
I'm looking forward to all of it.
I mean, it's going to be insane.
What, what I love is when I heard they were doing guardians.
I was like, how are they going to do that?
Who, who more than 20 people know who these guys are?
Because I love guardians.
Because I was a big infinity got with a fan.
Awesome.
And so that spun from that in a second iteration.
And so I was like, my god, Marvel knew what those were doing.
Because if you're going to do the gauntlet, which is apparently what we're working up to.
It's some point.
You have to introduce this because this is what it introduces at a morlock.
And this is where we go from here.
And Bradley Cooper.
Why not?
Why not?
I had a feeling that Joss we didn't turn them on to that.
Because he's such a family.
And when he was writing for Avengers, I think that he was like, okay.
I have this whole world that you guys don't know about.
And I think that that's what, I mean, obviously Marvel knew about it.
And they did think that I'm bored.
The day I see the infinity gauntlet on a movie screen,
I will cry like a seven-year-old girl.
Because I've already gotten the dark night returns.
Which, for what it was, I'll take.
I'll take the inner dialogue out of it.
It takes the heart and soul out of that soul.
They couldn't age Christian Bell, like.
No, I'm talking about the anime.
Oh, the anime, but oh, oh, oh, oh.
They took the inner dialogue out of that for me.
But for what it was, I'll take it.
It's better than it would have been 20 years ago.
Right.
And as long as they don't.
It's better as long as Zack Snyder doesn't direct it.
And as long as we don't get the sequel.
Don't put the sequel on celluloid.
Right.
Freight Miller still on my headless for that.
But give me the killing joke for the love of God.
Please talk.
There is talk.
It's all I am saying.
And I want this movie so that I can taste it.
Don't are we ready?
All right.
You just take it out of you.
Once you go, we're going to have another joy.
Just join us right now.
Two.
I'm at a two guest limit, sir.
I can't take any more than that.
Hey, I'll move on.
Who's ever next?
I mean, I've got comic books to read.
That's true.
Oh, no.
Wednesday was two days ago.
So you're changed behind?
Oh, well.
I have the mail to me.
Oh, I see.
I can read them whenever I want to.
Joining us right now.
Anthony Jackson.
One of the directors.
If I'm not mistaken.
That's right.
To make it a public.
We actually thank you so much for stopping by.
We want to thank you.
I'm saying.
I'm saying with us.
Love it.
We actually talk to your two counterparts on the right carpet.
One of whom is right here.
Yeah.
My sister and then waiting to go down there.
The two.
The other two.
Talk right into that thing.
I'm going to turn it up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I want everybody to hear you.
So I'm going to stick on for a couple minutes.
Sure.
And then after I get off Whitney Jackson, it's going to jump in and take my spot.
Graham.
Graham.
Graham.
Graham.
So tomato republic.
Yeah.
I'm not going to say award winning.
But I'm also not going to say.
I'm also going to say award winning.
Yeah.
Straight from the honors to hear.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
It deserved it.
I'll say this.
I always have a top three of the festival.
This is in my top three.
Incredible film.
Makes you feel at home.
I was born and shared Wyoming.
So reminded me of Jacksonville, Texas of that small town.
Everything like that.
You know.
I'm going to tell everybody in the empire.
If you get a chance to see this thing.
Get it.
It's only about what 70 minutes.
But still it's an incredible flick that keeps you going the whole time.
Don't make it happy.
Make it sad.
Everything.
Well, let's talk about it.
Yeah.
Jacksonville, Texas.
It was ours.
We like to call it.
D.T.
Texas.
D.T.B.
Texas.
Yeah.
And Whitney's joining us now.
Have a seat.
Welcome back.
You know, he brought up a really good point though.
When we started it.
We grew up in East Texas and got out as fast as we could.
Yeah.
And where are we?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm in Austin.
My sister's in Houston.
Whitney just recently moved back to Jacksonville because she's a brave soul.
And you know, when we started it, we thought it'd be great to make a film about
the hometown.
But as we made it, we realized we're making it about everybody's hometown.
You know, every small town in America is going through this same struggle right now to figure
out how to define itself, how to police.
How to be its own government, how to make change and progress.
And so it really, he said it best.
But it's about every small town in America.
And it's the play they gave us.
And I think that's what resonated with audiences.
Absolutely.
We were talking on the red carpet the other night and how great it was.
The contingent of people that you brought with you.
I was like, I want to see how many cars were in this caravan.
That brought that here.
Only in a small town.
I mean, we get that kind of support for them.
It was the biggest thing that's gone on in the decade.
And you know, I think we forget that.
You know, I live in Austin.
And we have films that dime a dozen.
They're going on all the time.
And when I first moved there, it was like the magic of filmmaking was still alive.
And I'd see people on the street.
I'd see Sandra Bullick.
And I was like, oh my gosh, it's Sandra Bullick.
And you lose a little bit of that in the big cities.
But in the small towns that charm they still have, where it's a simple life.
And you know, a lot of people think they're simple people.
They're not simple people.
They're just chosen a different lifestyle.
Right around 15,000 people in the town.
That's right.
So you could fit your entire town in the American Airlines Center.
People want to be able to relate that to something of its ilk.
One of the things I thought was great that we talked about on the red carpet was
that it wasn't.
My original thought was okay.
Three directors, three story lines.
And it wasn't.
And I wanted to talk a little bit about what we talked about that day of how you kind of,
kind of maneuvered that together.
Well, we work a little bit of to let the date.
And I liken it to a little bit how the Wilson Brothers were.
So sort of going back to bottle rocket in those films that we all know in love.
But sort of traded scripts back and forth.
And then this was scripted, but we had everything going back and forth all the time.
And there was so much going on.
So we were following through candidates and we needed three directors.
So it was just, it was kidsman, really.
And the fact that you don't get one voice to one candidate.
You get a blend of all three voices to all three candidates.
I think balances are better.
Absolutely.
I just, I just keep thinking back to Wednesday night and just how the energy for me guys was just right.
Ridiculous.
Like, you got a small town big tomatoes, baby.
Hey, you guys had the buttons going on.
There was like a, there's that sense of unity.
But we talked to you guys before the screening.
Yes.
So now it's after you even had a couple of days the breathe on it.
How did it go?
We haven't had much time to breathe.
But it was amazing.
I mean, the out point of support has just been absolutely amazing.
And to be honored in this way.
And like to see everybody here tonight, they're just, they're claims filmmakers.
And so we're, we're newbies.
We're fresh on the scene.
And we're so excited.
But that's the genius of something like the Dallas International Film Festival is everybody gets a voice.
It's not, well, you know, Nicholas and Sarah.
Okay.
He's going to go through work.
Right.
Here's your 90,000 Oscar.
I'm sorry.
It's, it's that sense of community that I love.
It's still at the beginning stages.
And I mean, we've seen, we've seen South by, and we've seen Sundance and all those things go to sort of blow up.
Yeah.
And so they're not what they were originally intended to be.
And so what I'm seeing from all the way to the volunteers to the higher ups and what not.
Everybody is top notch.
Everything.
Everything's been the most fabulous experience of our lives.
This is our first real, honest, got to film festival that we've covered.
And what we found, you know, I was very intimidated and coming into this thing because I was like,
people are going to look at me and say, who are these spares?
You know, but everybody's like, hey, do whatever you all want to do.
Do it.
We're cool.
You know, you let us know what you need to work in it done.
That was like, right.
Yeah.
I'm like, did I miss a meeting?
You know, you're talking to me, right?
I mean, we're a, we're a winner of this.
And every now and then you forget you're in the South.
Yeah.
Well, I just, I just forget where I am.
Sometimes just because I'm kidding.
Oh, but that's a whole different issue.
Something that you guys said that Dallas was a great place to start this thing.
And two showings sold them both out.
Like, I got to ask the obvious question.
I'm going to do it.
That's how I roll.
I know what's coming.
The award.
Where's it going?
You know what?
I think it's, it's always been a team effort for all of us.
And so it's like the Stanley Cup.
This is kind of a pass out thing around.
And, you know, I mean, honestly, we, we didn't do it to win an award.
And so the award's awesome.
It's been a great honor just to be just to be here.
But we didn't do it to win an award.
And so our award came on Wednesday night when we got there.
And there were people cheering and laughing and eyeing and crying.
There was like a borderline soul train.
It was a death in the door to the theater.
I'm not kidding you.
Yeah.
I mean, and it was 10, 15 people beep on both sides, right?
By the door to the end, Jessica.
And I was like, I don't know what's going on here.
But I'm curious now when I have to know.
I have to be a part of this thing.
And you know, we had, we had people coming out.
We hadn't seen them years who have moved to bigger cities who have gone on and done great things with their lives.
You know, and they're coming out to sport the film.
And I think that's the neat thing about this film is you never know.
When you make something in your hometown,
but you can get stone out of your hometown or you can get, you know, have a parade in your honor.
You don't know what's going on.
Or it's about in your hometown.
Well, let's talk about that for a minute.
Are you going to take the film back to show their now that you've done the premiere?
You know, because you've got to circle the troops.
We do show them.
We do for sure.
We've got a lot of other, you know, Austin wants to have a premiere of this.
So there's a lot of people that want to see the film.
So I think we'll wait and it's easier when you go back to your own award when you go.
Be the conquering heroes.
Much easier to go back to Rome once you won, right?
So we'll wait on that for a minute.
Rather, we'll back to Rome and go back to Rome.
Yeah, I think they're going to be all very excited about this.
I mean, they've got to know by now with as as instantaneous as data travels anymore.
Absolutely, they're thrilled.
I mean, this could be this can come in a better time.
And one of the girls in the film says, you know,
there's not anything that puts Jacksonville on the map,
but they're working on it.
And we're helping them work on it together, so.
Okay, so the next.
We'll have a little hug the time.
The next question we've been asking a lot of the filmmakers
that have come and sat down with us.
We're going to pie in the sky here for a minute.
I give you the option right now.
When it goes, let's just call it television at this point.
I'm going to give you your run of the gambit.
Where does this show's on television?
Where do you want to show them?
I, you know, we know Jeff Zucker really well at CNN.
And Janet has, well, honestly, we're working on another documentary.
The CNN's offered to buy already.
Really?
It's not done yet.
And you talk about it or no?
Sure.
It's a story of a lady.
She's mother Teresa, basically, and she's wrongfully convicted.
She's been in prison seven years, five kids at home.
They adopted a special needs kid.
And he ate salt and died.
And now, you know, a lot of stuff happened in that case.
In corpus Christi.
And she's in prison for life.
And now, through the appeals trial,
they had some brilliant lawyers and great people who've taken on the case
per obono.
And they've presented the case for what it really is.
And it's an amazing story.
I think it'll help further the laws in this country.
And it's called until proven innocent.
And it's just a brilliant documentary.
We've been working on that for a while.
And we've got exclusive on that story with Hannah overturn.
And she's their wonderful family.
And we actually kind of paused that to do this,
which was tough for us.
And it's an amazing thing.
But that's taken.
That's been a three year journey of our life.
And we're excited about it.
But I think Jeff Scott first did on this because he's a friend.
And he's been so supported.
But, you know, this Netflix is brought me documentaries
that I never would have seen before.
And I think it's really open up a vehicle for just people who love films
to watch them and see Netflix has gotten me back in the documentary.
When the, when the U.C.Q. first started,
that was probably about 60% of it.
And I was fine with stuff going.
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
And my wife is going, you're watching a documentary.
It's because it's become my favorite kind of film to watch now.
Yeah.
When you raise on a steady diet of, of manufactured,
I think it's a very important film.
And I think we stumbled on this story because it was our hometown.
And that was easy for us to stumble on it.
But it's that story that's about what's going on in all of America.
And so really for us, the goal is not to necessarily make money.
But to see, let people see it and see that they're not alone.
It's bright.
And, you know, Rob says it best in this, in the picture.
One of the stars that guy running for mayor.
He just says, you know, government is not a bunch of people.
A bunch of people in some office somewhere.
It's us.
And if we're not going to change things in our own small towns,
it's not going to change.
That's the beauty of where we live.
Yeah.
And so we're, we're going to the thing Rob said,
we get to do what we love and a place that we love with people we love.
And if people want to watch that, I mean, what can we do,
but to show it to him, right?
June 14 seems like such a no-brainer for you guys.
It's a Jacksonville.
That's when you're tomato fest.
It's a tomato fest.
It's a 30th anniversary.
The tomato fest.
Come on down.
This seems like a perfect place to have it.
You guys would love it.
It's for sure.
You know, a fan of the tomato.
You know why?
And apparently they have a, they are the home of the world's largest bowl of salsa.
That's right.
That's right.
And you love using salsa.
And you know, I'm a fan of the salsa.
I don't like it real hot.
Just, you know, kind of a spice.
Sit around an outdoor screen,
showing to me to Republic eating out of the largest bowl of salsa.
When it's 100 degrees.
Exact.
Because it's Texas.
It's Texas and August.
Yeah.
But you can do it all around.
That's the only thing about living in this state is summer.
Yeah.
I've, I've survived many of them.
Don't ask me how.
Okay.
So another thing we talked briefly about the other day.
Because like what I love about having you,
especially you on because we talked to you personally.
We could kind of go back and look at some of the things we talked about the other day.
How hard was it to watch it?
As a director, both of you.
And not nitpick.
Not go, oh, we could have shot that better.
Oh, that ankle was bad for me.
Focus focus focus.
I was so cute into the audience reaction.
I mean, that's really what what I was looking for too.
So.
Okay.
I said that aside for that.
Yeah.
And I think as a director, you get so bent on your craft of filmmaking.
You forget that it's just our entertainment.
And if people don't care, you shouldn't care.
You know, and I think there's a couple shots that are out of focus.
Yeah.
Oh, a focus focus focus.
And you know, the audience didn't care.
Getting care.
It feels more real, I guess.
It was real.
It makes more art, you know.
Yeah.
It doesn't feel like a design shot.
It was a real filmmaking day.
It's like off Whitney's couch.
I've got to share in the couch straight on the set every day.
You know, just chasing people around.
I mean, it's as real as it gets.
Okay.
Now, we've been giving people ideas.
And it's okay.
They're going to take our ideas and run with them.
Because I want to give you guys an idea.
We're going to go for the DVD release.
You have to, when you do finally show it to the town,
you have to film it and put it as an extra on the DVD.
It's a great idea.
So people can see the, now that it's coming,
it's a had the premiere.
You got the award.
I want to see on the DVD.
The reactions of the people in the town.
Not maybe that necessarily as they watch it,
or maybe just certain shots of how they react to seeing the film.
Because to me that it's about the following.
Yeah.
We have a brilliant editor, David Hobbs, and he said the sequel could just be interviews
from people in town about the documentary and he's like, we did great stuff.
Kind of a heart of art, there's kind of a thing making a movie about the movie that you made.
I mean, I'm gonna call it tomato sauce or whatever.
They call it the cornbread cornbread.
We already have the game.
You know what?
In book that now.
Don't just became two of my favorite people in the world.
Jen, by the website.
She's gonna get that name, please.
She's gonna be my last name.
You leave Go Daddy alone until they can get to it.
Okay.
We are show about all about shameless self promotion.
Give me every avenue that we can have our audience go find this film at.
Well, we have a website.
It's P, as in call.
And A and B are ours in RalphProductions.com.
And you can check out the trailer there.
We have a Facebook trailer.
And honestly, that's probably the best way to get a look at what's going on.
And well, hopefully we've got some distribution options lined up.
And we're on Twitter.
So email us.
We're pretty laid back.
You email us.
We're gonna follow us into a screener like to it.
Like we said before.
We're not interested in making money.
Just people see in it and getting out there.
Because this was just a dream project for us.
We're Instagram, P and R production.
I can't even be Instagram.
I don't know why.
I take it like two pictures.
I feel like I'm in social media.
I take you in.
Hey.
Do we edit that?
I don't know.
I'm taking like two pictures.
I don't know.
I think I'm in social media overload.
I've got the Facebook.
I've got the Twitter.
I've got the Instagram.
You and me both.
And then I'm like, oh, I should have put that on that.
Because then it would have linked it to that.
And then it would have been on both.
And then my brain fries.
And then I'm not, but I have all this at the same time.
It's a very strange thing.
To make a report like see this film.
Don is not an easy critic.
And if he loved this movie as much as he says he does,
you guys are way ahead of the curve.
We're so happy for you guys.
Congratulations.
Award winnings are award winning.
Very much award winners are this show.
That kind of rolls off your tongue.
I like that.
It's closed nicely.
Now, somebody could hook that up to this show.
You know, I'm not Kevin Smith.
I get that, but I'll pick a little something.
Yeah.
Thank you guys so much.
She was our honor to have you on.
I'm sure the rest of the evening.
You can go have some fun now.
We're going to go see.
Hey.
Carioki time.
Be nice to have it.
He's a friend.
All right.
We have got the cavalcade of stars continuing right here
on the Clubhouse podcast.
In another, uh, tunes exclusive.
Done.
We got.
A award winning tonight.
More award winners.
Go ahead.
We're on a, you know, audio media.
So if you want to do something to the crowd, go for it.
Yeah.
My name is Tyler Hill.
I was the director of a film called The Secret Tonight,
which ended up being the grand prize winner of the TXC
sponsored student film festival.
Grand prize winner, sir.
Her diet grand prize winner on this show.
Apparently he doesn't know where he sat down
and we're not going to tell.
What?
What?
What?
Okay.
Tell us about the film.
Uh, the film is, uh, TXC was an energy company in these
incidents.
So we, I give them a lot of money every month.
Trust me, my plate.
Yeah.
So the, uh, it had a, a real energy feel.
We wanted to explore the concept of, you know,
how people use energy and, you know,
we're kind of wasteful at times.
You know, what if,
sometime down the road, we kind of ran out of energy as a planet.
And so we wanted to explore the idea of a young girl,
uh, that grew up in a world that energy was kind of a myth
and something that she kind of heard about from her parents
and the idea of, you know, it always being light
and it always being warm and being able to talk to each other.
You know, just being kind of a, a mythical thing to her.
So, is, is winning their work or brought you to the festival
or you won after you got here?
Uh, winning the award was what brought us to the festival.
Uh, TX, who partnered with the Dallas Film Society.
And so it was a great opportunity to, uh,
mesh the two kind of events together and get to have students
out here and rub elbows with, you know,
legitimate filmmakers that are doing, you know,
big multi-million dollar budgets,
which is huge for somebody that, you know,
does a film of $20.
We're, we're joined now by, uh,
one of the editors of the film here.
We're an audio media, so we're interviewed yourself.
Hi, my name is Trace Lundberg and I was,
Trace talked right into that thing, man.
So we can all hear you.
Oh, thank you.
My name is Trace Lundberg.
There you go.
And I, uh, was editor on this film.
How long does the film?
Uh, five minutes right on the dime.
Wow.
That was one of the concerns we had when we ended up putting a,
edit together.
I think it was roughly around seven and a half minutes
and we really had to see what, what could say and what had to go.
When you, when you hit that five minute market, you scream really loud.
What we did, I think we hit that about five,
thirty in the morning.
She'll play it again because I want to make sure we got it right.
Yeah.
Tears streamed on her face.
Oh, just that's an editor.
Yeah.
You're like, I need to get the heart of this thing,
but I have to nail this thing on time.
The worst part is all the footage is amazing.
And it's hard to get rid of all that, all that great footage.
So that's the best way.
I don't envy and view even a little pit by friend.
And editor for this guy, I mean, that's putting it lightly.
I mean, this was one of those films.
It was really done on a short time frame and really,
it was very conceptual.
So we have the footage and it was really up to trace to kind of find the story.
And it, how long did it take you to actually film it?
With, we had some location issues.
We were going to do it in one day, but our final location,
we showed up to the place up in Frisco,
which was about an hour and a half away.
The whole place ended up being bulldozed for a new brand.
Oh, so the other day I was here.
So we had to skip a couple classes and, I don't know if I can say this,
but we had to break into a couple places.
Allegedly.
There's our favorite word on the show is an Allegedly.
Allegedly.
You might have found some foreclosed houses and pulled boards off windows.
We acquired this house.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
We gave it back when we were done.
We left it as we found it.
So this experience of putting the film together.
Has it kind of pushed you in a direction that you want to go?
Or was this a direction you were already going?
It was a direction that I wanted to go and I was trying to go.
And it really pushed me.
This was the first story that I'd actually written.
I'd always can send myself more of a shooter.
But this was the first project that I actually wrote and direct.
And I actually brought tracing to do a lot of the filming, the actual shooting.
So it really kind of pushed me into that next step of instead of always shooting
other people's projects.
You know, this is kind of the make it or break it moment of,
are you going to start doing your own projects?
Do you are you looking forward to writing a feature now?
I am.
We actually are being students.
Trace and I are both starting our senior thesis film.
So that was another story that script that was written by me.
They got selected.
So I will be the writer and director.
And again, traces.
I'm lucky enough to have as my D.P.
See, that's great when you, when you, your crew can be your friends.
Oh yeah.
Absolutely.
I hate to go back to the Kevin Smith allegory again.
But it's the Kevin Smith Scott Mosher thing.
Yeah.
You know, when the first time they didn't work together,
it was weird for me as a fan.
You know, because they clearly came up together.
And you guys worked obviously work together well enough that you can get awards out of it.
So there's something there.
That's a successful blueprint that a lot of filmmakers are following now.
They seem to be, and it seems to work like a charm.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I mean, at least in this stage, I mean, we don't have the money to bring in a lot of people.
So it's a lot of our own work and it's a lot of time.
And it's a lot of, you know, a hundred hour weeks.
So if you don't like the person that you're next to, you know, you don't stand a chance.
Yeah.
A lot of people still sell quickly.
That chemistry in front of the camera counts.
But chemistry behind the camera can be just as important.
Exactly.
And I found a true brother in trace.
I was a former combat videographer in the Marines.
And he's an actual combat videographer in the army.
And so we found each other in school and to find somebody that's, you know,
not only a brother in filmmaking, but, you know, veteran and has experience, you know,
over in Iraq.
And you find somebody that has the same discipline as you and the same drive as you.
And I mean, getting to end up with somebody like that.
Just let's talk about the military thing for just a minute.
You have that in common.
Are you, are you considering exploring stories with in that?
Or do you kind of think that's kind of been done enough?
Because I'd like to hear that from from the aspect of someone who's kind of been there
and done that.
You know, chat chads and military guy himself.
But just shield him doesn't storm.
Yeah, come home, brother.
Yeah.
Yeah, my friend.
But from guys that have seen it more recently, you know,
there's been a lot of things documentary features and whatnot.
Do you think there's still story left to tell?
Do you think you could tell it?
Or do you think we kind of told that story and we want to do something different?
I mean, that is one thing.
It has been done to that.
But I think what I would like to do is a lot of filmmakers have told other people's stories.
Are they told their perspective on the war and on the combat and whatnot?
But you haven't really gotten too many, you know, from the horses mouth.
You haven't gotten too many stories straight from, you know, the person that was over there
and not having to go through the medium of the filmmaker.
Having the filmmaker be somebody that was actually in themselves
and can not have to understand and try to learn what these guys have gone through.
But truly understands, you know, what we have all gone through.
And I think it's a real, you know, timeless and unifying fact.
And I know I would really like to tell, you know, our story.
Because I feel like a lot of people have told their story about what we did.
And I would like to tell our story what we did.
Wow.
You know, just on a personal note, the story that I would love to see told
is that I wasn't one generation of the Gulf War.
And you guys were in the next generation to go at war.
What I would love to see happen.
What a film I would love to see made is,
find a father and a son.
Because they're of the age now to where that can.
Yeah.
And I'm sure have salute.
I'll follow the father's experience in the 90s and the early Gulf War.
And follow a kid today that's over there now or just came back.
And have the father and son tell the story in the same theater of war
for completely opposite sides.
I think we might have our next documentary.
I think we've done it in the last 250 episodes.
I mean, I think that would grab people in a way that is, you know, a well-placer.
I mean, well-placer.
I mean, I've turned this over in my head a hundred times.
When I talked to guys like you that are of your age that have been there and come back.
And I've been there and come back.
And I was like, it has to have happened.
Yeah.
Because I've got a 20 year old daughter.
I've got a 20 year old daughter.
I've got a 20 year old daughter.
I've got a 20 year old daughter.
I've heard stories of guys who did the Gulf War in 91.
And then their sons are doing it now.
I've telling you.
That is a story that really needs to be told.
And that's got to be one of the most heartbreaking things on the planet.
Or one of the most gratifying.
It's that strange dichotomy.
And take it run with a voice.
Yeah.
It's you can find like three or four father son or father daughter or mother.
I mean, I like that too, where you're going to do multiples.
Right.
I'm on board with any of you turned out well or it turned out, you know,
you know, I'm telling you that is one compelling story that can be told.
Okay.
I would love to see you guys do.
Just like we said with the last interview.
By the website now.
Go get the domain now.
Just call it the Gulf War generation.
Anything you guys want to plug.
We're all about shameless self promotion on this show.
Plug away.
Yeah.
If you guys could see what we see right now.
You know why we were laughing.
Yeah.
As they scuba do.
We're we're right about to start in or our first actual big budget.
Or quasi big budget to us.
Yeah.
My pro micro to everybody else.
But yeah, we're about ready to start our next film.
And we're going in the fundraising.
You can check out the website, illusion films.
Also, you can check out Tyler Hill Media.
That has all my recent projects and a lot of the stuff that Tracy and I work with.
Yep.
Yeah.
Just.
And I think we're going to be starting a Kickstarter soon.
Just to get the funding of the back end of the of the film done.
Nice.
Some post editing and sound.
Yeah.
So look for us on Twitter or Facebook websites.
All that gets done.
I think we're going to try to blow it up on the social media.
We'll do everything we can to help you because we're going to.
This thing goes on iTunes.
This is an iTunes exclusive for our our listeners as subscribed.
So they're going to hear it.
Hopefully get the word out as well.
I kind I want to tell them to go and join and have the evening.
But I look at these two and I'm like, are you all that have to drink?
I feel that.
Oh, wow.
Right now.
But guys.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I don't.
I'm right now.
I'm speechless.
Thank you.
Go enjoy the evening.
Please.
Congratulations again boys and all the best to you in the future.
Because you guys have a bright future ahead of you.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Take care.
Yeah.
You too.
Leave right there.
You guys are good.
All right.
Gentlemen.
Wow.
You should have held on to that one.
You should have held on to that one.
No, I think it's a good hand.
Okay.
I think that idea is.
I'm going to probably trust you on this.
Okay.
We're going to take a little turn here.
What do we do?
Directors.
Everything.
We got people that help make this thing run.
This is out.
See it.
To put it.
To put it.
To put it.
To put it.
To put it.
To put it.
To put it.
He's like we're those companies that helps grow up to move.
We see stuff.
We have to have people like him.
He's.
I thought I saw Scott.
Scott.
We're going to right now.
All right.
Well, we love about the Dallas International Film Festival.
And we cannot talk about this enough.
We've talked about this.
Probably add nozium to members of the Empire.
But we don't care.
It's our show.
There's so many people that have to make these things happen.
But everybody's been so amazing.
Like we're just a couple of spares with a podcast.
You know.
And in fact, that we're able to do this and have the support of people like yourself.
And I want you to tell our listeners who you are and what you do because I want them to know.
Talk right in this thing.
There you go.
There you go.
I know how those things work.
But they are part of the programming team of the festival.
Officially my title is a social programmer.
And I take care of the Latino sections specifically.
But also a lot of movies from around the world.
Because I know several languages.
So basically, if it's not in English, it passes through me somehow.
So Latino Day was Sunday.
That is correct.
I was actually able on Monday to see the man behind the mask.
And I saw that El Santo was here on Sunday.
I was like, oh, we were somewhere else.
Loved that documentary.
But she said not just Latino, but everything.
How many languages do you speak?
She says we speak a few.
I speak Spanish, English, French, Italian.
I understand German and I understand Kaplan.
So I should have paid more attention to school tonight.
This guy's here.
He's got five languages.
I barely can do one.
And that's even debatable sometimes.
What's been your experience with the festival this year?
How is it different from years before?
One of the biggest differences has been the location.
That we were mostly stationed at the Angelica, which in the end has happened to
help the audiences just find the movies.
They don't have to relocate when they're like, oh, I wouldn't see these one.
But he was like, these other side of town.
So that was the biggest change at least from the staff point of view.
And also from that audience point of view.
And we also want to send this shout out to all the volunteers.
We're so open and hard on this festival.
When I would come to see movies, like there was never any, it was always, hey, you need this.
Okay, you're here.
Okay, this person's coming to you.
And this is, it was a well-boiled machine.
The blue shirt saviors as we have.
They are.
Can I jump in and say, well, first of all, you have to tell people who are before you can tell us everything you have.
My name's Scott.
I was a theater manager last year.
I'm a studio representative for a bunch of different places in this.
Working with our best friends in the entire world.
Yes, yes, yes.
Outside integrated marketing.
Some of our favorite people on the planet.
They're my favorite people on the planet.
They, they, they give me money.
So have.
And I don't want to, I'm not going to brag.
And I don't want to mention any names.
But somebody in the video intro was the first sponsor that showed up in the video.
And I don't want to mention any names.
But I believe their initials are out in a great marketing.
I'm just saying, and it made me happy too.
I was like, does the first one?
We know that.
Honestly, I'd be happy.
They didn't even give me money.
I'm sure you would.
I love the crap out of my job.
But I can't believe that I get paid to do what I do.
It's insane.
And a great group of people over there.
And Alex, tell everybody who you're with as well.
Oh, um, I'm with a thumbs ID.
I also have my own thumbs.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I want to, like, say shameless self promotion.
We're okay with it.
No, but that's not my deal.
My deal is to throw the film festival.
Very well.
And I've been doing this for the past seven years.
And this is the eighth year of the game.
So you got the gambit covered my first.
Yes.
Um, still going strong for another two days.
Personally.
I don't know about you.
And we've been talking about this all night.
I'm ready for space battleship.
I'm on on Sunday.
I did not.
I am like a seven year old on Christmas Eve.
Right now.
I know nothing about that.
And the name of it has always really just popped out.
And I'm like, Oh, my God.
Okay.
It keeps Sunday free.
When I was a kid, there was a cartoon was a Japanese cartoon called Star Boisers.
And I lived on this cartoon.
It is one of my favorite cartoons to this day.
And from storytelling to art to the whole thing.
This is the live action version of that cartoon.
They made it to a pan.
And they released the trailer probably three years ago.
Yes.
About three years ago, the trailer showed up on YouTube.
And I saw it.
And I went, this better be real.
Because if this is not real, I'm going to kill somebody.
Because this is too good to not be real.
And then when we got our press kits for the Dallas International Film Festival,
I saw this on the list.
And I would, you know.
But if I'm not mistaken, and maybe I'm actually going to send some light on this,
there were some rights issues getting it to this country at one point.
Yes.
A lot of the Japanese movies usually have a sort of like,
it's not a little more difficult to clear them to be shown here.
Is there a handful this year?
Yes.
Doomsday Party Firestorm.
R100, Jammato.
And I'm missing a couple of them.
But yeah, we finally got to secure the screening.
And we were all happy.
It was one of those that from the beginning that we knew that it was available.
We wanted it.
It was just a matter of tracking.
Okay.
Who has the rights?
It's specifically for like the time frame that we wanted.
And it's always, it's part of the programming magic that
people don't see the happens.
It's a year long before the festival goes on.
So can I make a request?
Go ahead.
Because apparently out there, Chad and I have seen this.
You know where I'm going with this.
Uh-huh.
Somebody, and I don't know if it was just a trailer or if they actually
made this thing.
But somebody did a live action, gotcha man.
That looked incredible.
Like it was the, it was the gotcha man movie that I've always wanted.
And this country was called Battle of the Planets.
Yeah.
If that's real, we have to find out.
I mean, it literally, it looked like it jumped straight from animation
to live action.
That was ridiculous.
So how, I mean, we had Latino dance Sunday.
It looked like it went very, very well.
It did.
We had full houses for every single one of the screenings outstanding.
Because being a really goodgering terms of audiences.
I mean, all this has always been really good hearing Dallas.
And they are awesome at welcoming the filmmakers and the talent.
They're just making them feel at home and appreciating the movies.
They can great questions during the Q&A's.
I haven't been to a single Q&A word.
I feel degrees and like, oh, nobody can, that's a good question.
Nobody did it.
Asked it before.
Yeah.
It seems to happen a lot here in Dallas.
Everybody seems to love the crowds that we have here.
I was just having dinner and we were talking about that.
It's insane.
And I don't know why more stuff doesn't happen here in Dallas with film.
Well, there you have setting.
One of the things we were talking about, especially last week on the show,
was how the Dallas film community is growing exponentially.
And it's not.
Like you can't say that Dallas is where you can film X kind of film.
It's becoming Dallas is where you can do film.
There's so much going on.
It's so diverse.
Whether it's genre lines, culture lines, no matter what it is.
This town is just booming.
And one thing they said at the Gala last week was they wanted Dallas to be the anti-Hollywood.
And it was just the place when nuts when they said that.
And I thought it was so great.
And we've talked about that as well that the opening film of the festival,
words and pictures amazing.
Loved it.
Strong way to open the festival.
Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary showing of Paris, Texas,
which I think is great.
And we had one of the stars on our normal show that we did earlier.
Great guy hunter was awesome.
Tomorrow night is going to be the last of Robin Hood with Kevin Klein,
which I'm very excited about for you guys.
And you can have your bias if you want to.
But I want you to think outside of your bias.
What's the one film you were most excited about coming into the festival?
Child of God.
I've heard wonderful things.
I did not get to see it.
I've heard nothing but terrible things.
Really?
And I saw half of it.
And I'll leave it at that.
Really?
I'm going to watch the rest of it tomorrow.
I had to step out because I've had some issues as far as vehicles go.
And I'm going to catch the end of it.
And we'll see what happens.
But I've heard nothing but bad things we're already walking out.
And I'll reserve my judgment until I get watching it.
Oh, yes.
But I mean, James Franco doing Kormat McCarthy.
That was my thing.
People told me that and I was like in.
And I'll tell you one of the only people who is liked the counselor.
Another Kormat McCarthy movie is this guy.
That'll be a discussion we have all fair.
We can talk about that.
Well, I love that movie.
I may need to go back and revisit it.
Because I think there was too much for one sitting up.
I've seen it twice.
And there's an unrated or an extended version.
Or whatever you will call it on DVD and Blu-ray.
And I don't know what to add.
But I'd be very interested in seeing what happens.
But the great thing about Kormat McCarthy is every single one of his stories is you get
thrown in right in the middle.
You don't see the beginning.
And you don't see the end.
And that's what's genius.
It cuts off at the perfect heart to make you want more and to make you super happy.
Yeah, for me it's a tie between Helion because it's done so well.
And it's because so many connections to the festival itself and to tax.
Because it was a short here.
Two years ago.
Exactly.
And basically kind of like the team met in Austin and then concocted how to get the movie done
when they were here premiering it.
So that was.
That's one side of the tie which the other one.
The other one is young and beautiful by French director François Alson.
And that's just because he's one of my favorite directors personally.
And we've managed to have every single one of his films in the last eight years.
So.
It's one of those days like we at this point is tradition.
It's like we have to come here.
You don't have a choice anymore.
You're now contractually out.
Exactly.
Okay.
Shame with self promotion is what we do.
What do you guys want to promote anything that you've got.
You've got to want to put out there for our listeners to support you.
I'm telling you right now.
The tie was sacrament.
It's playing right now.
I've heard nothing but fantastic things.
I wanted to go up there and catch it.
I saw the trailer and I was like.
I don't know if I could sit through this.
And it's not because it looks like a bad film.
But it looks like a film that would just totally creep down.
Oh, it's the same kind of tie was movie that he keeps putting out over and over again.
Which is a great thing.
He's so good at poor indie war.
Do you not realize who we're talking about here?
I got I know.
I've seen the trailer that talks about who he is.
Yeah.
I got two words for you.
You're next.
Yeah.
Which I love that film.
I love that film.
That's.
And I'm not a horror film guy.
But one of the most creative kills in the history of cinema.
Don't run.
No.
Running out the door.
That's all I'm saying.
The whole heavy.
The heavy we just went.
Oh, that is unfortunate.
But guys, we've got some more people coming in.
Thank you guys for stopping by Scott.
You're still going beyond hearing a few weeks for sure.
Because we got bigger things to talk about on this show.
That we've got to Alex.
Thank you so much.
It's an honor to have you, sir.
Thank you for having me.
Great job with the festival.
You guys were amazing this year.
Now.
We have been.
We have been.
I'm talking cavalcade of stars.
Sir.
I can't say those three words.
It is a parade.
This next interview.
Don.
I'm going to let you interview this guy.
Because I'm extremely excited.
Okay.
I saw this film after we did the red carpet.
The.
It's an incredible film.
The scenery wasn't credible.
It's about a story about a mother who's basically down on her.
Down on her walk.
And she has a son who has got coma.
And the best way to treat it is basically marijuana.
And she makes them in the brownies to try to.
You know.
To.
So he needed stuff like that is the best medicine for him.
The.
The father is on the road trying to make a singing career.
But not really there.
But the parents of the father are really involved in in the.
Into the lives of of their grandson.
And it's where they're trying to in some ways.
I think some aspects from what I saw in the thing where she's looking through like the.
You know, all the no turning down from the past.
Trying to possibly get custody because she's a really living in a downout place where they.
And the kids get cut off the water gets cut off stuff like that.
And the son has some very much issues where he's in love with the water takes on sea monsters.
And it's a pig that he loves.
But but the big problem is his eyes and stuff.
I'll say this.
The.
What was the name of this that.
Well, it's an introduce.
We got we got earth humor.
These are director of this film.
The film is.
The.
There you go.
We're right on the name of the film.
The film is flutter.
Get a little flustered.
That's all right.
That's why you do the interview.
So I've been running back and forth.
But I'll say that the gentleman who played the kid with guacoma.
I think well, that was asked for stole from the Q and A.
Absolutely.
He didn't credible job.
Incredible job on that.
Joining us now is the director of flutter.
Let's let's establish who people remember.
They can't see him.
They can only hear him.
Hello.
Air humor.
Welcome to the show.
Let me say we did this is our second night that we've been here doing the show.
We did the show live last Friday night.
And this is no bull.
Honestly, this is this really happened.
I cannot count the number of people that came up to me and said,
You have to see this film.
It was.
We were in.
Probably 20 to 30 different people came up to me and said,
Dude, you have to see this film.
And that's great because I found Dallas tomorrow.
You have the chance.
Oh, what time is it playing tomorrow?
It's around 730 at the Angelica and theater 6.
So, please.
Oh, we also have somebody on the show to film.
This is my co-producer Andy Co.
Hi Andy.
Hi Andy.
How are you, sir?
I'm not going to say a lot.
I don't know whether.
Let's talk.
I'm going to need blanks.
I want to start talking about this film with two words.
Go on.
More shower.
Oh, solid.
I could not be a bigger fan of this guy.
We were coming to set up last Friday and he was standing outside.
And like, time stopped for me.
It's like 1024.
It's like, what are you talking about?
It seems like, oh, no, I know.
Yeah, I was like, no, to me, he's not the guy from 24.
He's that guy that's been in every freaking booth.
They have ever seen in my life.
You know what you got with him?
Yes.
For some people.
For some people though.
He's the overlord.
Yes.
Call of duty.
And that's.
So, as I heard that voice, I'm like, I know who that is.
And I don't know that we can talk about where he was going to when he left here.
Where he was going to do.
Probably not.
And then I found out and I was like.
Use there are the coolest person that's ever walked the face of the earth.
You can talk about this film.
Okay.
He's going to film inches of shield, which I'm three weeks behind on.
It's driving me crazy.
But now people are telling me, no, you can't watch it anymore until you go see the winner soldier.
Because if you don't, it's going to ruin part of the winner soldier.
Oh, what am I going to do now?
Tell me about him.
Like, this guy has to be like the coolest dude walking the planet.
We call him solid gold.
We're feeling all of your life with music, is that?
Okay.
So, my first film Rambo Zen was at the Dallas International Film Festival in 2011.
And I already had the boy.
You know, I already knew I already had him peg.
He's a little ginger kid right here.
And we, I needed a grandfather for him.
And I already, Glenn was already picked out.
And I heard he was at the festival.
So, I begged my publicist to try to give him to our premier.
And the little behold she did, he came.
So, who is your publicist?
Kelly Kitchell.
Yeah, he's a friend of ours.
She's a friend of ours.
She's a friend of ours.
She's one of the most wonderful people we know.
We love her to death.
Dynamic.
Yeah.
Kelly, Kelly's awesome.
I owe so much to her.
Because she got Glenn to come out.
And he loved my first film, Rambo Zen.
And afterward, you know, I came up and talked to him.
And he said, loved it.
And he told me, I was a really talented young man.
He loved to work with me.
And I was like, the feeling is mutual.
So, it's like, 30.
You know who you are.
It's like, funny.
You should say that.
We have something to come.
We both think you're in the man.
Exactly.
Exactly.
The response I was hoping for.
So, was this the premier?
This was the premier.
Was it dogs?
Well, maybe for flutter.
Was last, was it Friday nights?
Right.
Yeah.
I'm sure that, just like you guys, it days are boring for us.
I just said this point.
Yeah.
I've seen, I've seen the word in Jelica more than I've seen my wife in the last week.
How do you go?
Like, how was the reaction by the audience from the premier?
The reaction was actually really extraordinary.
You know, you don't, you kind of make something like this.
And you don't know how people are going to receive it.
But, you know, particularly our second screening, I walked in for the Q&A.
And it was humbling.
It was nearly a dry and entire place.
Wow.
Women and man.
It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was.
It was, it was, it was.
But I was like, no, it's not the vibe.
I'm good.
But, you know, the film seems to be touching people.
And that's, you know, a whole fork.
It's for me, the film's, it's a very personal film.
It's, it's an intimate story about a mother and child.
And, you know, I, I felt compelled to write it.
And after, after my mom passed away, I just wanted to write it.
You know, write a film about kind of what moms give the little boys, you know.
And, you know, it was a very heartfelt attempt.
And it seems to be resonating.
When you sat there in the theater, kind of Devon's trying to flash me.
And I'm really, he's trying to blow the wheels off.
And I'm not gonna let him.
We loved Devon.
Devon's a great friend.
I've been a friend for years.
That first viewing.
How tough was that?
The, the first, it actually wasn't because people were laughing.
More than I've ever heard of laugh.
People were, you know, just, you know, feeling the movie deeper than I imagined they, even
would.
You know, it was, it was just a very, very reassuring experience.
I felt, I felt great about the first time.
You know, it's a little bit, you know, you're unsure how people were going to receive it.
But it was great.
Well, and now, I'll say this Eric did, you know, he wrote it.
He directed it.
He also edited the whole thing.
He supervised the entire post-production.
He did most of himself.
And did the catering apparently too.
He did.
He did.
He did it.
And here's the thing.
He finished it like two or three days before the festival.
We had never watched it with an audience.
I haven't slept in the last month.
Good mercy.
A lot of mountain doing pizza rolls in your diet.
Oh, my goodness.
All dominoes again.
Doritos.
Doritos.
So what's next?
I'm, I'm working on a little vampire film that actually interesting.
You know how chat's attention?
I actually shot this film before we shot Flutter.
Oh, really?
I just shipped years.
So fortunately, I get to finish a movie with another movie already in the can.
And just go right.
I'm jumping right back in editing.
Wow.
But that's the life of a filmmaker.
Yeah.
It's like if I'm not doing, I have to be two films ahead of myself for our following
Behind.
But the next film I want to do is called Sugar Water, the next, you know,
and it's about a, about a codependent relationship.
But guy is the one in heroin that get her to same form.
And it's a very different film.
Wow.
Yeah.
There's, we, we, we, we, we, we, that talk about your left turn.
I'm like.
Oh, we both, he's got a jumped in our chair.
Like, good lord.
Good god.
Um.
Honors was tonight.
Yeah.
We believe somebody took home at least one award.
We won the Texas Grand jury prize.
Yeah.
That's what I was waiting for.
And we're, we're pretty excited.
Thank you, Pandivision.
The Dallas International, the Dallasville Society.
And you know, that, that means a lot to us.
Cause, you know, I'm, I'm a, I'm a Texas filmmaker.
I'm, I've written, you know, many scripts.
They all take place here in Texas.
I'm from Nackadochas.
I don't plan to go anywhere else.
I, you know, the, I told everyone that the Austin State's been interviewed.
And he, after my first film, asked me if I was going to go to New York at L.A.
And I said, oh, why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
When I written scripts about Texas.
I'm standing in, and I have, I have family here.
I've, I mean, went by family.
I, I, I referred to filmmakers.
You know, people I collaborate with.
I'm not going anywhere.
And you can film anything you need in those cities in Texas.
Because there's so much diversity.
We've talked about this earlier in this episode.
There's so much diversity.
Like, you can go somewhere and go, yeah, this looks like New Yorker.
This looks like L.A.
And since I want to write about Texas anyway, I got a whole big old canvas.
It's the size of a small country.
That I can work with.
It's the celluloid alamo.
That's what I'm referring to.
If it takes this film to you now.
Exactly.
Why would I go there and spend, you know, five, ten times as much as I would spend here.
To actually do something, you know, with, you know, my friends.
And you get to give back to the state that gave to you, which is one thing I've
noticed at this film festival.
There's so many people that it's so important for them to give back.
And I cannot say that I could possibly have more fun than I've had in the last nine days.
And there's still two days left.
Well, that's how I feel.
Because, you know, we met our leading lady, Lindsey Postford at this festival.
The first round of a record.
That wonderful.
She did an amazing job in the film.
And then we also met Glenn.
So, you know, I met my leading actress, our co-star and my producer, all in one place.
Here at the Dallas International Campus.
And plus, remember, this is one of the, one of the three films that Farah White had here.
And everybody's just so, so much.
So now we've got all three covered.
We have all three covered now.
And we can get to be able to talk to Farah.
We've got to everything that worked with her.
We haven't gotten her.
I got it.
I got, I got a buddy who works for the Department of Defense.
And he's, he's in Pakistan right now.
And he's just takes me to do Farah White is so hot.
She's gorgeous, man.
But yeah, that's what everybody was saying last week on the show was like,
they just fair white day because all three films in one day.
It's a fair white festival.
But it is.
And unfortunately Johnny Mars would in our film.
He's someone we enjoy.
We love Johnny Mars.
Absolutely.
I mean, I want to work with him.
Man.
Yeah.
What I'm still waiting for a Texas filmmaker to do the biopic on Steater Ray Bond.
Win is somebody going to pick that up and run with it.
Oh, I.
Hey, we've been giving filmmakers ideas all night.
So you can say they've been to.
I leave it in your cable point.
I can't do that.
Okay.
There's really only one man that I just said.
I'm keep waiting waiting for a biopic for.
But that's that's Tesla.
Everyone's wanted to do it.
But, you know,
I don't kids.
We're not talking about the bait.
No.
Or the car maker.
But, you know, one thing that we've asked a lot of filmmakers.
Whether inside the festival or outside the festival.
If you've got to pick one movie right now that you're looking forward to
with baited breath.
What is it?
Oh, the.
Oh, they're out.
It's playing.
It's killing me.
It started.
I want to see it.
So bad.
I've always been obsessed with the fact that he was doing that he wanted to do
doing and I was his life work that never got made.
So just to be able to see that just just to geek out on, you know,
some of the pre-production, some of the ideas and what they were.
What they were planning on doing to see HR guy.
I want to know.
I want to know what happened to the one cheat they had that was signed over there.
Because they had one that was signed.
And I want to know what happened to it.
Oh my gosh.
My buddy of mine went and saw it today.
And he texted me about an hour ago and he said,
Dude, when you're ready to go, call me because I'm going back.
Yes.
Since a song grade was one of the films that blew my mind as a kid.
I mean, just it changed the whole way.
I thought about film.
So I'm.
What are I supposed to be?
Definitely a hero.
Oh, when I saw the trailer that.
Not only did he have solid joke,
but I was charging him a million dollars an hour.
Why not?
He's like, my brain.
It's like, there's that.
I'm looking forward to that documentary.
And whatever we finally get the documentary about Roger Corman's
Fantastic Four Film.
Those are the two I'm waiting on.
But yeah, Joe de Worst is doing playing now.
I want to go see this thing.
Oh, I do see that.
Because it's just, I saw the trailer.
And I just, it's that minute and a half of you just shake your head up.
Like, I have to see the other hour and a half of this thing.
Yeah, that's on par with the fact that Federico Felini was originally the man
they were trying to get to do flash Gordon.
Oh, my God.
And it never had to do that.
But as attention again.
But one thing I noticed when it was much of flash Gordon, because I've
loved that movie.
It's the movie.
Maybe we want to become a filmmaker.
Really?
Got it.
Exactly.
But I noticed that Princess Oras kind of gimp that she pulls around on a chain.
Uh-huh.
Deep boy.
His name is Felini.
That's what she calls the guy.
Come along for the day.
That's got him on the lead.
That flash Gordon.
It's one of those films that everybody loves.
And everybody's afraid to say they love.
But once that first person says they love it, then everybody's like, OK.
I have always thought that should have been the next rock before.
That should have been a night film that everybody works.
It's so protable when she's when I was a kid.
I saw that and I was like, I'm the only two things I want to be in life.
A filmmaker or a rock star.
And that at both.
And really, I wanted to do both.
That's what I'm working towards.
Some day I want to make something as epic as flash.
And what made that mean even better is when they did this special edition.
And Alex Ross did the cover art for it.
Yeah.
That's like, I was like, OK, I'm done now.
Take my money.
Take my money now.
Take my money.
I am.
Alex Ross is amazing to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That dude does things with art that shouldn't be possible.
And it blew my mind when I found out he lived locally.
I had no idea of growing up at Alex Ross.
It wasn't worth.
Oh, really?
Yes.
My whole town.
He's so great.
He's amazing.
He's exciting.
Well, gentlemen, we're not going to take up too much of your time.
We cannot thank you enough.
Anything, shameless self promotion.
Anything else you want to plug out there?
Websites, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, the whole thing.
Yeah.
Check us out at facebook.com.
Flash.
Flash.
Yeah, you got flash.
Flash.
Flutter movie.
I'll have to check it out.
And please come out and see the film tomorrow night.
The last time I get a chance to see it at the festival in 730 at the Angelic.
Gentlemen, congratulations.
Thank you guys.
From all indications you have more than earned it.
So go enjoy the evening.
Thank you so much, man.
Gentlemen.
Thanks for being here, guys.
That was solid, sir.
Yes, it was.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you so, so much.
We are at the official post show.
I guess it's what we're calling this because it's an iTunes exclusive.
At the 2014 Dallas International Film Festival.
My friend, this thing has been.
I can't even say met expectations.
This thing has so far exceeded my expectations.
I got to do my first red carpet and then my second red carpet.
Let me tell you people something.
They're just like Jerry Luke.
Let me tell you something.
As I look at the picture of the rad pack on the wall, here in the lounge.
Red carpets are nerve-racking.
I can't even imagine what it's like for the people that have to answer these questions.
No.
But to have to be the guy that asks these questions.
And that sounds like a knit when you do it.
Because all I mean, and to give you a little bit of insight for me,
I was constantly thinking, oh my God,
am I going to ask the same questions that everybody's asking them.
And we had a blast doing it.
Yes.
The first one we did, we had to move it indoors.
And it was the size of an area rug.
You know, our first interview is the great Christopher McDonald.
Who was amazing, by the way.
We're going to have that as probably as an iTunes exclusive about for you.
Very, very soon when I can get all this.
I got like two hours of audio.
I've got a sift through and get edited down.
So it sounds like it makes sense and everything else.
Done.
Fondango.
Yeah, I'm done for it.
I'm a calm down for it.
Just join this.
The official fact checker of this show.
And a man who was, you know, I like to think sometimes that I'm the hardest working
a man in show business.
This dude has outworked me this week.
I've done a lot of heavy lifting physically.
He's done a lot of heavy lifting philosophically.
I appreciate it.
This has been a printable.
We're already booked for next year.
They want us again.
Really?
We're done.
That's, that's an, that's an outfit.
I didn't even know we had.
I'm seeing it now.
Our tinsic director and a president said we're on for next year.
They, they, they,
Wow.
2015 is going to be a huge gear on multiple.
Oh, my god.
I didn't think about it from that angle.
Cool.
I mean, it's, we had so many people on here.
This festival has been incredible.
Yeah.
I know, well, I got rocking me right now.
Watch out.
But a lot of them don't do for this week.
Are we ready to wrap this one out?
We're, it's almost midnight here.
They're about to close up the bar.
So it's.
I don't have to queue it up.
But I don't even have the room to do it.
Because the battery.
We didn't, we didn't, we didn't charge up the battery on the
I.
This has been incredible.
We're here for the Empire.
This has been incredible.
But don, thank you.
You have worked so hard, dude.
And you deserve to be recognized for the work that you've done for this thing.
I appreciate.
To the Empire.
Everybody has been great.
I know.
That's a free buddy has been great.
And, and we're going to have a special couple of
future scenes see a lot of people have had that many
SC 2 things above.
Isn't it short?
Some people can search through it.
But they miss in the interview edition and possibly
have to talk about the movies we saw that sort of, you know?
Come on.

number three is
The Santo documentary the man behind the mask. Yes, I know you're crowds big wrestling fan
I'm not a big bristling fan, but it's a very interesting story. I hope it gets real real
I'm glad you said that because I want our audience to understand it and
When I do my written review, which will be up on our website
It's not about wrestling
It's about one man's dedication to the passion and a
Family tradition and that's where it kind of surprised me a little bit. Yeah, I wanted to have more of the thing
I didn't like about it is I wanted to be more of the movies
You know and focus more on the of the whole
Aspect that is Santo and not just the wrestling. I mean the people who love wrestling are gonna love this film
But the people who are not into wrestling are gonna say wow, there's was too much wrestling in this film
