Earlier this week I was a guest on my festies Besties Natalie and Tara’s podcast – We’re Making a Movie.

Had a great time (for the second time!) at the Phoenix Film Festival last week. These guys always have an amazing program, the merch is top shelf, and if you’re gonna lose in your category, it better be for a film voiced by Ian McKellen. Am I right? Love taking Shoe, both the film and my
