Independent Filmmaker Focus: Pretend I'm Not Here

from Screenplaying · host Western Colorado University Graduate Program in Creative Writing, The Crested Butte Film Festival

This episode features Screenwriting Director James Napoli from Western Colorado University's Graduate Program in Creative Writing in conversation with Noah Amir Arjomand, whose short "Pretend I'm Not Here" had its Colorado premiere at The Crested Butte Film Festival.  In a far-reaching interview, Noah talks his remarkable film (which you can view in its entirety here!), and quite a bit more, as the conversation expands into documentary, ethnography and world cultures. Find out more about Noah at his website, watch his powerful Emmy-winning documentary "Eat Your Catfish", and learn how you can support independent cinema and Noah's next project "Trapwork."   Our theme music is by Levgen Poltavasky at Pixabay and our audio wizard is Mike Janowski.  Thanks for listening to our podcast about the art of movies and the lost art of conversation!
