Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IFWT #156 - Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trickbaby [ft. author Tony O'Neill
Q: How did your own background influence the themes you see in Freeway 2 and Six City?
Tony discusses growing up in Blackburn, moving to LA, struggles with addiction, and how those experiences shaped his writing and the noir/underground sensibilities that echo in the film.
IFWT #151 - A Desert (2024) [ft. Dir Joshua Erkman]
Q: What inspired the desert setting as a core force in the story?
The guest explains that the desert is a living, paradoxical landscape—harsh yet healing, capable of forcing a protagonist to confront hidden urges. The environment becomes a mirror for the characters' inner conflicts and the film's thematic exploration of creation, risk, and transformation.
IFWT #139 - We Await (1996) [ft. dir. Charles Pinion]
Q: Do you feel with this kind of cult cinema, this underground cinema, do you think the audience is more sophisticated in understanding what the filmmaker is doing now?
Yes, the audience's engagement with cult cinema has grown, and they often have a greater awareness of the filmmaker's intentions and the nuances of the narrative.
IFWT #136 - Beneath (2013) [ft. Rolo Tony]
Q: Does the name Fessenden hurt this film more than it otherwise would?
Yes, there's an expectation attached to Fessenden's films that may not align with this movie, leading to unfair criticism.
IFWT #133 - Red Spirit Lake (1993) [ft. dir. Charles Pinion]
Q: Did you consciously add horror elements while shooting?
Atmospheric elements were key, and editing played a major role in enhancing the horror.
