Why 'She Said' Shouldn't Be Ignored by YPA Reviews

Don Shanahan from Every Movie Has A Lesson, and The Cinephile Hissyfit invited me to his hometown in Peotone, to join a panel at Lodgecon 2022. Added to the panel was film critic and marketing genius Annie Banks from Chuck Load of Comics. Together the three of us ask if Hollywood is creatively bankrupt. Here’s what we think.

A double bill! In conjunction with the Chicago International Film Festival, I interviewed Lila Neugebauer, on her directorial debut Causeway, premiering on Apple TV+ and theaters on November 4th. Then I spoke with Rodrigo Garcia, a seasoned writer in Hollywood who has an affinity for nuanced conversations. His latest film, Raymond & Ray, follows the path of two brothers whose tumultuous father's final wish was to bury him by his son's hands. Raymond & Ray will debut on Apply TV+ on October 21st.

Today I grab a glass to speak with filmmaker Michael Glover Smith about his new feature "Relative" which has been garnering critical acclaim through the Chicago film circuit. Mike and I discuss why we choose to stay in Chicago over Los Angeles, our love for independent film, Batman 1989, classic cinema, the healing process of film, and why Mr. Smith's movie about family stands above most of the rest.

All information on Relative can be found on its official site here: https://www.chicagofilmproject.com/relative/
