New Podcast! Welcome back, everyone! Sean Dube and Patrick Quinlan brought their film “Bro Code” to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2023 and won a Programmer’s Prize! Sean and Patrick are a great comedic duo in this script written by Sean. The pair co-produced the film with director Presley Paras, making them a trio of sorts!

Thanks to a few hurdles back in 2023 we did not get to do an interview about “Bro Code” at the festival, making this podcast my first opportunity to hear the story behind this funny, heartfelt short.

You will soon be able to watch Bro Code on the DIF TV series and TVHi. Keep your eyes on these show-notes for its release!

New Podcast! This was Hayden Croft’s fourth appearance on this podcast because it represents his fourth film that has screened at either Film Invasion Los Angeles or Sherman Oaks Film Festival. In March 2018, he came by with actor/producer Jay Eftimoski to discuss their film “New Age, Olde English” which screened at SOFF 2016. In July 2021, he came by to discuss “Last Wish” which screened at FILA 2018. In September 2021, he came by to discuss “Four Junkies” which screened at SOFF 2019. And today he came in to discuss… The short film “Tax Time” that screened at FILA 2023 and, almost more importantly, his self-published short story anthology “Kisses from Strangers in the Dark” that he gave me in 2018, and his currently unpublished novel “Sand Ramsey is a Dick” aka “Oh No, NoHo” aka “No Way, NoHo.”

We had a LOT to talk about!
