The Obsessive Viewer - Movie Review Podcast

In this special episode, I chat with Kirsten Foe, writer and director of Off the Record, which had its world premiere at this year's Heartland Film Festival here in Indianapolis. We also discuss her history as a stunt woman, her experience opening the film at HIFF, and all things Off the Record, of course.
