Watch This Episode On YouTube Writer, filmmaker, actor...and activist Ben Steinberg joins me to talk about his campaign to save the Cinerama Dome and his filmmaking, most recently HIKIKOMORI, a surreal short film you have to see to believe. In this episode, Ben and I talk about: how he got decided to get into film and acting; his campaign to save Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles; why should indie filmmakers care about theaters when most films are streamed?; how he made the surreal short HIKIKOMORI (inspired by THE LOBSTER, one of my favorite films); what's next for him, possibly a documentary on saving the Cinerama Dome ("I just need to stay organized and contact like media outlets and just see if they're willing to report on it because so far, not really, no one's really reporting on it"); what does it say about the state of filmmaking when even Oscar winners are having trouble getting their projects made.
