Join Derek and Max from the LFS Board as they sit down with writer/director Tyler Savage and producer Javier Gonzalez as they discuss production of their new indie feature "Oddities" filmed in Louisville in May 2025!

Tyler Savage: A graduate of NYU Tisch, Tyler worked as a Story Editor at Warner Bros before going on to work for Terrence Malick on four back-to-back features. Savage's first feature (Inheritance, 2017) was lauded by genre critics after premiering at Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. His second feature (Stalker, 2020) premiered at Fright Fest, won the Dark Matters Award at the Austin Film Festival, and was soon acquired by Vertical Entertainment. Though he has served as a producer on large indie productions, his first two features as writer/director were made on micro budgets and he takes pride in being a scrappy filmmaker who knows how to cleverly maximize his resources.

Javier Gonzalez: Javier is an indie filmmaker who has produced numerous film and projects including: “Halley” (Sundance 2013), “The Transfiguration” (Cannes 2016), “In the Radiant City” (Toronto 2016), “Mildred and the Dying Parlor” (Tribeca 2015), “Honeymoon” (NY Film Festival 2016), “Swallow” (Tribeca 2019), “Tesla” (Sundance 2021), “Land of Dreams” (Venice 2022), “2nd Chance” (Sundance 2022), “Funny Pages” (Cannes 2022), “Girls State” (Sundance 2024) and “In The Summers” (Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner 2024).
