Episode 117: David Milchard, Christina Sicoli & Ben Cotton

Director David Milchard and actors Christina Sicoli and Ben Cotton drop by the YVR Screen Scene Podcast studio to discuss their audacious new film, F*cking Idiots. The feature film – which also stars Stephen Lobo and Sara Canning and was written by Kris Elgstrand (Songs She Wrote About People She Knows) – tells the story of a broke married couple (Christina and Ben) who visit a rich friend (Stephen) for something akin to aversion therapy. F*cking Idiots screens as part of the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival. In this hilarious and fascinating interview, the trio dive deep into their love for Kris Elgstrand (and each other), the allure of the 85-minute movie format, joys and challenges of releasing a feature film during a global pandemic.
