Press: Podcast Interview with Row Three at the Flyway Film Festival

Last weekend, Matt Garland and I attended the fabulous Flyway Film Festival (alliteration, anyone?!) for the third time.

Instead of bringing a film to screen at the fest, as we've done the last two years, this year I attended as a Guest Short Film Programmer and Juror. The friends, parties, films and pie were as wonderful as ever.

While there, we ran into the guys from Row Three, Andrew James and Matt Gamble, and they interviewed us for their podcast about our role in the festival this year, our Resurrection Trilogy of short films and what else we've been working on. Thanks, guys, for taking the time to talk with us!

After an amazing trip to Montreal to screen 'Vivienne Again' at the Mascara & Popcorn Film Festival – where we won an Audience Award! – Heather Buckley writes up a great recap of the event for Fangoria magazine. She covers all of the highlights and weird & wonderful goings on that make M&P so great. And she so kindly gives our film a shout-out, too. Thanks, Heather!
