Sittin' With The Sosk

Kylr Coffman left small-town Oklahoma for Los Angeles with big Hollywood dreams, only to face high living costs that made car camping his best option. So he went for it. He put every dollar he had into attending every acting class and audition he could. He’ll tell you it was the best time of his life.

Then “life happened.” He returned to Oklahoma to be with his mom during chemotherapy, thinking he had left his dreams behind in LA. What he found in Oklahoma was a huge surprise and gave him new purpose. Kylr formed OFA Studios and began helping Oklahoma actors find their way in the industry.

Sometime later, in the dead of a dry Oklahoma winter, Kylr found himself on the side of a rural Oklahoma road, acting opposite our very own PJ Sosko in a scene from Nimrods. The film is a road trip comedy, produced by the band Green Day, that was originally known as ‘New Year’s Rev.’

It represents a major milestone in the career of this young actor, working on a feature film with a major theatrical release. Having spent many hours on a skateboard and playing in punk bands as an adolescent, he was able to bring that energy to the role and be a “green-haired bastard.”

PJ and Kylr discuss his journey, acting, maintaining work-life balance in the film industry and more in this episode of Sittin’ With The Sosk.

We hope you enjoy this episode. It was produced by Streamliner Mobile Production.

With the 2026 Circle Cinema Film Festival in the rear view, we thought a special episode was in order…. so we gathered some Oklahoma film festival directors to hang with us at The Boman Twin around a pool table while aerialists do their thing on a hoop.

This is not your ordinary sit-down podcast! This is our futile attempt to herd cats on this very special episode.

These go-getters spill the deets on festival management, while racking balls and shooting their shots. Expect bad jokes, great stories and more from this group of peers and friends.

We’re joined by Kerry Wiens from the Circle Cinema Film Fest, Cliff Crull From The Nitty Gritty Film Festival in Ponca City, The Tuffest crew who are also behind the Pitch & Pour at Cabin Brewery every month, Bill Doty, Tonya Power, and Rodney Smith, plus Brad Heath from the Broken Arrow Film Festival, Oklahoma’s newest film fest slated for October.

Thanks for checking out this episode. To see more of our aerialists on the hoop, Laura and Ember, check them out at Studio 7 Fitness, Tribe Circus Arts or Zeta Aerial Fitness or on Instagram (@emberhazeaerial & @wineminx).

Thanks to the Scott and Kadrian at the Boman Event Center for providing the location and libations. Produced by Streamliner Mobile Production.

Reed Arnold is an Oklahoma writer-actor-director in the middle of a successful festival run with his new film, “Do Us Part,” a wedding comedy.

Like Reed himself, the film made an unlikely progression from LA to NYC and from stage to screen. “Do us Part,” was written in LA as a play, put through the wringer in NYC’s Naked Angels live reads, then reworked into a screenplay to become a film short and most recently, a feature film.

How do you reevaluate and reinvent something that you think is perfect in it’s original form? After a successful stage production, Reed tells us he did not want to change a thing until he brought the work to Naked Angels, where it started to take another shape for him. That moment of reinvention was the turning point for the work and the writer.

Reed and PJ trade stories and discuss the importance of self critique as well as peer and audience feedback in developing a work and a career.

You can’t see them, but, there are often many hats resting on Devin Montgomery’s head. Devin’s an actor first- as evidenced by his credit list- but he’s also a writer, producer, director and editor.

Devin is known for his critically acclaimed portrayal of Luke Wolf in the 2025 feature film ‘Monsters Within,’ which he also wrote and directed. He also managed to land a distribution deal with Buffalo 8 after successful film fest run. Buffalo 8 Distro

Devin’s latest effort, the horror/thriller short, ‘See You In Your Sleep,’ is already garnering critical attention in film festivals.

It is slated to be screened in June at Miami, Oklahoma’s Sunny Side Up Film Festival, where it will be screened with the acclaimed short, ‘Just The Janitor,’ which features our very own PJ. These Oklahoma film shorts are tied with 8 film festival nominations each.

Devin and PJ talk acting lessons, the ups and downs of indie film making and more in this episode of Sittin’ With The Sosk.

Editor’s Note: As we post these photos, we fondly remember our film friend and Devin’s co-star, Samuel French, who passed too soon.

This podcast was produced by Streamliner Mobile Production. We hope you enjoyed the episode.

Charles Elmore began his career young, working on television production for mega churches. That was just the beginning. Using a combo attack (what was that sequence again? Up, Down…?), of dues paying, being at the right place at the right time, and trusting a nucleus of local collaborators discovered along the way, he made a path for himself.

The convo takes some fun detours along the way to covering his journey to working as a camera operator on one of the hottest tv shows around, The Lowdown, as well as his work on Minari, The Puppet Master Franchise and Reservation Dogs.

What’s it like producing the first season of a podcast?

With special appearances from Dana Tiger & Loren Walters from the Oscar-qualifying doc ‘Tiger,’ actor Wil Wilson, the Evel Midget and the “Lost Ladies Who Lunch” footage featuring actors Mel Fry, Barbie Bailey and Thesa Loving. PLUS some special words for our fallen comrade who joined us at the table and made movie magic with us in Fool’s Gold: actor Alan Barnes Netherton.

Bask, reminisce, discover in this season closer of the Sittin’ With the Sosk podcast!

PJ and the boys go to summer camp in this episode of SWTS. We explore the benefits and fun of summer film camps through interviews and interactions at the Circle Cinema Film Fest.

Join us on this unique episode with guests like Tamecca Rogers, Chuck Price, Yelena Krivosheyeva and more as we learn what drove them to mentor the youth of Oklahoma in film making.

We had the vintage Streamliner RV, our mobile studio, parked outside the 2025 Circle Cinema Film Festival (CCFF) and PJ invited Oklahoma film makers, writers and community leaders in for conversations.

No table, all Sosk… and a whole lot of guests.

PJ got a few moments to talk to festival director Kerry Wiens about the festival, film selections and the historic cinema located in Tulsa’s Kendall-Whittier district.

Circle Cinema’s Bailey Hawkins fills us in on the culture of this non-profit theater, which celebrates local film makers.

Director of Photography, Blake Nolan Brown, returns. He and PJ talk about film production and share updates on their narrative short, ‘Becoming Harry.’

We were also joined by Heather Miller and Emily Shireman, subjects in the documentary ‘Susan,’ directed by Russ Kirkpatrick. ‘Susan’ is about their mother coming to terms with a form of dementia. We get into what that was like.

Retired commercial director and cinematographer Chuck Price stopped by to share a tale from his storied past.

Young creative team, director Lucas Jackson and actor Griffin Edge, tell us about collaborating on ‘Self Reflecting,’ their indy narrative short that screened in the CCFF local block. It features a high schooler, played by Griffin, experiencing a breakdown while confronting another form of himself in the mirror.

Screen writer Michael Wright and PJ discuss writer’s workshops and potential upcoming collaborations... plus, we hear how Michael got himself into the right room in the NYC acting scene.

Tamecca Rogers also came by the RV to tell us about her new annual film camp, which recently concluded with her middle school students showing at CCFF. She also shares a glimpse into her journey to leadership in the Oklahoma film community.

Young, independent film maker Tanner Ray also sat with us to share news about his two festival-screened documentary films, ‘Connecting the Dots’ and ‘An Oklahoma Summer’. He’s got a third in the works called ‘Love You, Bye’, in which he will explore themes evoked in the second documentary film, but as a narrative work.

Soren Viuf and Yelena Krivosheyeva, of StormFront Studios, gave us the deets on their LA-to-OK relocation, their new studio and their work as mentors in Tamecca’s film camp.

We also went straight to the source- Circle Cinema co-founder Clark Wiens- who shares his inspiration for reviving the movie theater. The building spent many years boarded up, marquee unattended, before Clark and others worked together to create what is now one of the best community-oriented film houses in the U.S.

Thank you to Circle Cinema’s hard-working staff and volunteers for making it what it is. Thank you for welcoming us in to be a part of Circle Cinema Film Festival 2025.

Hope you enjoy the show!

He’s a seasoned actor, well-known for playing Ned Oldham in the action movie ‘Unstoppable,’ as well as his eight-episode run as Axel in season 3 of the ‘The Walking Dead.’ PJ and Lew also worked together on several projects, including Netflix’s ‘Mo’, and they get into a few stories and tales of the take.
