Interview: Producer Carlos Zozaya – Tendaberry

Date:

With a resume that began as a Script Supervisor on Anna Rose Holmer’s The Fits and Zachary Shedd’s Americana, leading up to his first main producer credit for Sebastián Silva’s Tyrel, along with a plethora of other projects in between, the 2024 Sundance Film Festival would be an exceptionally memorable one for Carlos Zozaya in terms of spotlighted filmmaker collaborations of both the past and present.

In our conversation, I wanted to get an overview on how Carlos cut his teeth on the American indie scene, the experience of working on Tyrel and we moved into some of the challenges for Haley Elizabeth Anderson’s Tendaberry, and what projects we might find on the horizon. If you are a film geek about the process and appreciate the hustle — this interview is for you.

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
