Christian Sesma: The Path From Restaurants to Filmmaking!

On episode 273, Liz and Alrik welcome Christian Sesma! Christian is a former restaurateur turned producer...and writer....and director! Christian speaks about his feature, Pay Dirt, starring Val Kilmer, a thriller/mystery that was shot in 12 days in the Coachella Valley. They also touch on making movies in the time of COVID, which includes testing every 3 days, creating a quarantine pod on set, wearing masks on set at all times and how these precautions affect a film's budget! We also have a short film by Hannah Marie Hines called Celie. Additionally, the Players of the Week Alex Burunova and Sudeshna Sen, talk about their favorite film festival experiences!
