I'm Daniel Berrios. This is my journey to learn about the movies - the art form I adore - one review, interview, editorial at a time. Take care of yourselves. Take care of each other. Take care of the movies.

263. INTERVIEW | PAPERTOWN Director Jeremy Seifert (Mountainfilm Festival 2026)
Q: How did you divide labor among six filmmakers, given the tight three-month initial window?
They focused on listening and capturing authentic moments, sharing equipment and roles, with a flexible approach to editing to shape the story rather than forcing a predetermined narrative.
263. INTERVIEW | PAPERTOWN Director Jeremy Seifert (Mountainfilm Festival 2026)
Q: At what point do you decide it's time to make a documentary?
The team saw a timely, unfolding story in Canton and chose to document it from the ground up, joining the town as the mill faced closure and committing to living through the moment with the people.
249. Interview | BIRITA Director Búi Dam
Q: What does Cordelia symbolically represent in the film and in your personal journey of letting go?
Cordelia embodies the past mother, and her hanging is a ritual symbolizing letting go and accepting who his mother is now, rather than who he remembered.
246. Little Spark Films Hosts LSF Fest V in Mansfield, TX
Q: What other names did you consider before settling on Little Spark Films?
There were no other names; the name became a mantra of all being little sparks in the big machine, reinforcing that everyone on a film set is essential, regardless of role.
248. Interview | SLANTED Writer/Director Amy Wang
Q: Was all that stuff discovered while you're actually filming, or is that something that you did in the writing process to build the world?
Amy confirms that much of the world-building was done in writing, with production design later bringing the imagined world to life through careful collaboration.
