WATCH LOS FRIKIS: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Los-Frikis/0H49M436MMS223JUKJ26Q95EKJ Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz are the first to admit "they're not the cool kids." Their widely celebrated debut THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON was bootstrapped by grit, hard work, and a ferocious commitment to making something authentic, and that same spirit fills every frame of their follow-up film, LOS FRIKIS. Like the filmmakers themselves, the movie follows a group of lovable outsiders finding their own way to make beautiful art in a system that opposes it. In today's conversation with Jeffrey Crane Graham, they discuss how filmmaking is like building a house: pre-production is a blueprint, production is about "collecting lumber," and post-production is an act of construction.

For director Rory Karpf, a core philosophy is that things are going to change- a lesson learned from years of documentary filmmaking. This flexibility proved invaluable when crafting his indie feature, Grace Point. Adapted from a larger, more ambitious script, Grace Point tells the story of a young man on his way to a remote drug rehab. His journey takes a dark and unexpected turn when he finds himself in a strange town being chased by the locals and his own personal demons. The genesis of Grace Point began with a documentary shoot in a very specific location. Rory and cinematographer Al Francesco were working on recreations in Laurinburg, North Carolina. Al suggested that Rory reimagine the script as a smaller, more intimate indie film, using the town's natural settings. They were able to find every location they needed in Laurinburg and the surrounding area. The rapid 19 day production schedule with 10-hour workdays required working around outdoor shoots and unpredictable Southern weather. With many locations donated, Rory and Al knew they couldn't waste time with reshoots or lose any days to the weather. They dedicated two weeks to detailed location and technical scouting, meticulously planning shots and coverage. Al found the time to be flexible and see compositions when they naturally occurred, like taking advantage of a beautiful foggy morning during the shoot. Rory and Al's background in documentary filmmaking proved to be a significant asset. "One thing I learned with documentaries are things are gonna change," Rory states. "With narrative scripted filmmaking, it could be the actor isn't getting the scene right for whatever reason. We're gonna try something a little bit different, and be open to that working." Al's documentary instincts led him to adopt a "keep the camera rolling" approach, even after "cut" was called, capturing authentic reactions. He also streamlined the process by lighting entire scenes and shooting multiple angles without resetting, and even capturing close-ups and inserts during rehearsals. The collaboration between Rory and Al began at NFL Films, where they honed their skills on sports documentaries featuring prominent figures like Peyton Manning (The Book of Manning) and Snoop Dogg (Coach Snoop). These “follow docs” often involved recreations, which served as mini-movies, providing valuable experience for their transition to narrative filmmaking. Their established network of crew members, producers, and access to affordable gear proved crucial. "It's not a negative for us to have a small crew and make the most of it- that's normally what we do," Al notes. For Rory, the most vital aspect of filmmaking is fostering a positive and enjoyable atmosphere. "Working with Al, he makes the stuff look great, but he also understands how it incorporates in the story," he says. This blend of technical expertise and storytelling acumen is what brought Grace Point to life, proving that even with limited resources, passion and ingenuity can create compelling cinema. You can purchase Grace Point on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.

This week on Drinks and a Movie, we're diving into Kevin Smith's most shocking film—Red State (2011)! This isn't your typical Kevin Smith comedy—it's a dark, intense thriller that blends horror, action, and political commentary in a way you wouldn't expect from the guy who made Clerks and Mallrats. We break down its unexpected tonal shifts, chilling performances, and whether it still holds up over a decade later. And what better way to pair this intense ride than with a bourbon flight? We're tasting the RD One Wood Finishing Series, exploring how each expression brings unique oak influences, rich flavors, and a smooth finish to the table. Does it hold up to the hype? Can it calm our nerves after this unsettling film? We'll find out!

Alex Javo transforms Greek mythology into modern vampire romance in his remarkable debut feature "Ambrogio: The First Vampire." After years of facing typecasting as an actor in Atlanta's film industry, Javo decided to create his own breakthrough opportunity by writing, directing, and starring in a completely fresh take on vampire lore.What separates this indie production from countless other vampire tales is its foundation in ancient Greek mythology and Javo's extraordinary commitment to embodying his character. He underwent a dramatic physical transformation, losing 40 pounds in just two months through an extreme diet where he only ate three days per week. "I wanted to not only look the part but feel what a starving vampire might feel," he explains, drawing on his Stanislavski training. Working with an Italian dialect coach added another layer of authenticity, as Javo mastered not just the language but subtle mannerisms that brought historical depth to his character.Perhaps most impressive is how Javo leveraged his eight years of industry relationships to assemble a dream team of collaborators. This strategic approach allowed the entire feature to be shot in just seven and a half days—a testament to the chemistry and professionalism of the cast and crew. When inevitable challenges arose, from sudden rainstorms to equipment failures, Javo's steady leadership kept the production on track. "I knew if I broke down or got angry, it wouldn't do any good for the environment," he reflects, highlighting the importance of directorial temperament on independent sets.Drawing inspiration from filmmakers like Scorsese and Tarantino, Javo has created something that honors cinematic traditions while establishing his unique voice. "Ambrogio: The First Vampire" arrives on Amazon, Walmart, Fandango, and Voodoo beginning March 11th. Don't miss this debut from an emerging filmmaker who's already planning his next feature—a gangster drama that promises to blend elements of "The Godfather" with "Rocky" for a fresh take on classic genres.Support the show:

Sean Baker's impassioned speech at the 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards (watch it here: https://youtu.be/yIxtMGRlx0k?si=0_QCG3cLpvqFDWKd) resonated deeply with me. Like him, I'm an indie film lifer—and that's okay. We get to define success on our terms, and we must demand what we're worth. The money is out there, and while we're not asking for a fortune, we won't accept pennies either. Indie filmmakers create jobs, revenue, and art that matters. It's time we shape the industry rather than let it shape us. Let's do this.

Kit Osbourne returns to the store and I return to the Saw franchise with Saw II. The first film was a surprise indie hit. Saw II reworked the formula, introduced the idea of Jigsaw apprentices, and upped the gore. It solidified Saw as a genuine horror franchise and made Jigsaw a truly iconic character.
