Episode 13 - Chelsea Christer
09/10/20 • 73 min
Greetings, friends!
This week's episode is a San Francisco DocFest special!
Today we talk with our first documentary director on the show, Chelsea Christer from the SF DocFest closing night film, Bleeding Audio!
SF DocFest runs a little different than other virtual festivals in that all the films streaming online are available for the entire run of the festival, rather than at specific times. That means that even though Bleeding Audio is the closing night film, you can still purchase and watch it RIGHT NOW throughout the entire United States. Purchase your festival pass and check out this fantastic music documentary about the band The Matches:

Chelsea and I had a great conversation about coping with a festival run that was upended literally right in the middle of their world premiere at Cinequest 2020, as well as the mental toll working on a documentary for nearly a decade takes on a person.
