I Love that Movie!

Mini Episode: An Interview with Filmmaker Jenni Tooley

For this Mini Episode I get a chance to talk with local Dallas filmmaker Jenni Tooley about her movie "Stuck" which is a work in progress that is screening at the Alternative Fiction Festival this Saturday at 10:00 PM at the Angelika Dallas. Jenni and I discuss her journey from actor to filmmaker as well as advice she has for aspiring women that want to get behind the camera. She's looking for feedback on her current film because she has built a community around this passion and values everyone behind the scenes and in the audience. Check out this great feature this weekend or become a Patreon member online to get an early screening and access to a feedback link so you too can be a part of the process!
