Shauna goes solo this week to interview award-winning indie writer/director/producer Ansel Faraj, whose film The Great Nick D is now on the festival circuit. Ansel tells Shauna about his pop culture heritage, and how it inspired his body of work. Though he’s based in Los Angeles, he’s no nepo baby – but even without connections he’s been able to fulfill his dream of making films. Ansel and Shauna talk about his last movie, Todd Tarantula (which Shauna loved!) now streaming on Tubi, as well as his future projects, which might include a horror musical!

Ansel Faraj’s Hollisworth Productions website has links to his Facebook and YouTube pages, as well as information on how to stream or buy his films. His IMDb page is here and he’s on Instagram.
