PUBLIC VERSION.

Filmmaking partners Emily Bennett & Justin Brooks (BED, PAINS) join Joe, Adam, and Arwen this week to discuss their new film ALONE WITH YOU, which is being released theatrically on February 4, 2022 and other digital platforms February 8, 2022. From a fateful first date to being confined together due to the pandemic, Emily and Justin made the most of their quarantine time by combining their skills (as an actor and cinematographer, respectively) to not only produce, direct and shoot short films but also an entire feature. In ALONE WITH YOU Emily stars as "Charlie," a woman trapped in her apartment and awaiting her girlfriend but slowly becoming besieged by otherworldly visions. The boys have a fantastic time discussing the making of this impressive debut including what its like working with your partner under extreme circumstances. Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a patient who is trying to manage their time being creative while working a day job that demands 60+ hours of work each week.
