    It's hard to believe but today is the Discover Indie Film Podcast's 500th Episode! The time has certainly flown and I marvel, looking back, on how many amazing and inspiring filmmakers I've been able to chat with since the very first episode in 2017. Many guests over the years have asked if I'd ever be willing to turn the mic around and allow someone to interview me. I decided this milestone was as good a moment as any to give in. I asked Discover Indie Film's producer Karina to surprise me with a someoe who I've already talked to be my interviewer... I honestly had no idea who was going to interview me until I opened my front door! I want to thank everyone who listens and every single guest for making these 500 episodes possible! If you want to follow me on social media, I do my best to avoid all of them except... BlueSky. Click here to follow me on BlueSky! Finally, a quick photo credit to Chris Hall, an award-winning director and producer who loves photography and asked me to sit for some portraits. I was delighted to use this photo he took of me with my very first podcast mic! Chris Hall on Instagram Christopher J.

    Happy Monday, Everyone! We have a great interview for you today. But you're going to have to wait until Friday for this filmmaker's follow-up 4Qs because Wednesday is the 500TH episode of Discover Indie Film and we have a very special episode, or at least I hope so. I've been convinced by many of you over the years to flip the mic and allow a previous guest interview me. In fact, I don't even know WHO will be showing up on my doorstep to interview me (it's been arranged by my producer) so we'll truly see how that goes! But back to today! Lindsay Harbert directed the wonderful short film “Talia,” co-producing with lead actor Amy Shaughnessy. The film was an official selection at Film Invasion - Los Angeles in 2024, taking home the Programmers Prize for Exceptional Filmmaking. Lindsay was not able to attend the festival, which means that I was extra-enthusiastic about recording this podcast because she could not take part in the festival Q&A for “Talia.” Lindsay did not disappoint! She is a very talented writer and director, and an equally fun person to talk to IG @taliafilm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Discover Indie Film Website – Instagram – Facebook – X/Twitter The INDIE Channel The INDIE Channel Website – Instagram – Facebook – X/Twitter – TikTok

  • 498. 4Qs with Adam Linkenhelt

    498. 4Qs with Adam Linkenhelt
    2025/02/21
    What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out. In 2024, Adam Linkenhelt's film “The Unreliables” was at FILA 2024, earning Adam and his co- writer Jen Robyn Jacobs the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Screenplay - Drama. Not only that, in 2016, Adam’s film “Passports” was at FILA AND Adam directed two films OTHER that were submitted to FILA’s sister-festival, Sherman Oaks Film Festival, also in 2024. And to top it off Adam is now the festival runner of Anchorage Film Festival in Alaska. So if you didn't listen to Wednesday's interview with Adam, I highly recommend you do! I was definitely excited to chat with Adam and that includes finding out what his 4Q picks would be! @AdamLinkenhelt anchoragefilmfestival.org _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Discover Indie Film Website – Instagram – Facebook – X/Twitter The INDIE Channel The INDIE Channel Website – Instagram – Facebook – X/Twitter – TikTok

    A Wonderful Wednesday to you all! Filmmaker Adam Linkenhelt should have been on this podcast a loooooong time ago. Why do I say that? Because not only did Adam have two films in the festivals that I run in 2024, way back in 2016 a film that he co-directed was in the first ever festival that our team presented when Film Invasion Los Angeles (FILA) debuted. Time for the list? In 2016, Adam’s film “Passports” was at FILA. Then in 2024 his film “The Unreliables” was at FILA 2024, earning Adam and his co- writer Jen Robyn Jacobs the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Screenplay - Drama. And get this. Adam directed two films that were submitted to FILA’s sister-festival, Sherman Oaks Film Festival, also in 2024. We had to pick one, even though both were great, but right now I will just give a shoutout to both “Rattled” and “A Close Encounter.” Not only does Adam always do great work, but he told me at FILA 2024 that he had accepted the role of festival runner at the Anchorage Film Festival in Alaska! I was delighted that he wanted to pick my brain a little bit for it and I could not have been happier to see the great things happening up in Anchorage while I was busy at SOFF. Needless to say, we spent more than a little time talking “festival running” in this podcast. Consider this a chance to see behind the festival curtain a little! @AdamLinkenhelt anchoragefilmfestival.org _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Discover Indie Film Website – Instagram – Facebook – X/Twitter The INDIE Channel The INDIE Channel Website – Instagram – Facebook – X/Twitter – TikTok

    Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I have a new DiscoverIndieFilm Podcast for you! Nick Livanos wrote and directed the feature film “All the Wrong Ingredients” that was an official selection at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2024, taking home the Grand Jury Award for Best Feature Film - Comedy. Nick is based in Tennessee and this podcast was our second Zoom, as we also did a Zoom for his FILA 2024 Q&A. Nick took a very interesting path into filmmaking and hones his skills as both a filmmaker and an Associate Professor at Southern Adventist University. I’m pretty sure that we offered each other guest rooms if either of us is ever in the other’s home town. It might be from the fact that we all went through lockdown together, but at this point I think that I’m a good Zoom or two away from considering someone a friend!

    Happy Monday, Everyone! I'm wishing every a great start to the week and hoping that this interview helps with that. Producer and actor Sof Puchley brought her short film “ID EST” to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2024 and took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Short Film - Sci-Fi, as well as earning her director Shayda Frost the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Director - Sci-Fi. This stunningly beautiful and extremely engaging film was one of my favorites last year, as I’m a huge SciFi fan and love when someone like Sof brings a fresh perspective to the genre. If you’re curious, that’s pronounced “ihd-ehst.” Sof’s creative journey is a bold and courageous one. She has done things in her life, both as a student and professional, that most people I’ve met would not dare to try. But I will not go into it further because you need to listen to the interview.
