## Resource

Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time. In Episode 29, We were lucky to be able to sit down with Austin Jennings, Director of Eight Eyes which got a VSP release. We also review the September and October releases from the mainline plus subs. Off the top I just have to say, holy shit, Austin was an incredible interview. His day job is being a co-founder and director of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, so he has had a lot of experience editing and writing and preparing for a film. But the way he breaks down his intent behind Eight Eyes, how he approached it from a technical perspective ... this turned into an accidental audio commentary. It was truly a pleasure to speak to someone like Austin who is a student of the medium, and it seems like he may come back just to geek out about VS which we're excited by. The episode around Austin is Eli and I geeking out about the strong months from VS. I think this one turned out well, Austin's interview starts around the 50-minute mark if you want to get right to it. Eli can be found on most socials @eliolsberg and you can follow him to make sure you see his next porno night screening around LA or catch his standup second Tuesday of every month at the Pleasure Chest. Celeste de la Cabra can be found on most socials at Celeste de la Cabra but is very active on YT and IG right now. Also, if you're not already spend a few dollars per month supporting Celeste: https://www.patreon.com/CelestedelaCabra Oh, and if you're not watching the Last Drive-In it's on Shudder and is a great time.
