On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Jon Frenkel Garcia:

“Creative and imaginative filmmaker from Spain, passionate for honest storytelling about the freedom and beauty of being alive with a magical realism style with European influences. I have a driven force of passion towards storytelling, the exploration of the human heart and obsession towards movies that I use as my main tool of work. When I am working on my stories, I feel like having a conversation with myself as a kid. Not trying to change the world, but finding something that I love and doing it everyday, eventually i feel like the world will eventually change.”

On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature John-Paul Casella:

“My name is John-Paul Casella and I am a incoming Freshman at University of Delaware with a deep passion for the art of filmmaking. To me it is more than just making content, it is instead a way of life and a way to help guide myself through this world we live in. It is my hope that my films can provide something to whoever views them either in the way of escape or helping someone through tough times in their life.

On the side I do some freelance photography and videography and in the summer of 2022 I filmed my first ever feature length movie, a fantasy adventure in the vein of Studio Ghibli and Pixar entitled Requiem of Dreams which is now in post-production and should be done by sometime in 2025.

Overall though I am happy to have been involved with this festival!”
