Falling for Tucson All ‘Over Again’: Julie Bonner & Jeff Brack Reveal Their Breakout Short Film

Here’s what you’ll discover in this inspiring conversation with Jeff Brack and Julie Bonner:

🎬 The Making of ‘Over Again’ – How a short film set in Tucson evolved from a feature-length script into a heartfelt 15-minute cinematic gem.

👫 Creative Partnership – Why Jeff and Julie’s real-life relationship became the backbone of this collaborative project, from script to screen.

☕ Cartel Coffee as a Creative Hub – How Tucson’s favorite coffee shop played an unexpected role in the film’s development.

🎶 Original Music by Cameron Hood – The story behind the custom song that became the emotional centerpiece of the film—and its transformation into a Ryanhood track.

🌆 Tucson as a Cinematic Star – Filming in iconic local spots like Hotel Congress, the Century Room, and Barrio Viejo to showcase the city’s cultural texture.

🎓 Mentorship in Action – Bringing students from UArizona and Pima Community College onto the crew and giving them real-world film experience.

🎥 Casting from 2,000+ Submissions – The behind-the-scenes effort to find just the right talent to bring the film’s lead roles to life.

🏆 Festival Circuit Strategy – What’s next for Over Again, and how this Tucson story could reach audiences across the country.

In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, we invite you behind the scenes of ‘Over Again’, a short film that’s already generating buzz and poised to make waves on the national festival circuit. At the heart of this story are two familiar faces in Tucson’s creative scene—Julie Bonner and Jeff Brack, a powerhouse duo whose partnership extends from home to Hollywood.

Filmed entirely in Downtown Tucson, ‘Over Again’ isn’t just a film—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the city, its music, and the people who make it special. Through this extended feature, we unpack the film’s origin, the creative collaboration between Julie and Jeff, the challenges of indie filmmaking, and what’s next for this locally-grown cinematic gem.

💡 Creative Chemistry: The Power Couple Behind the Camera

Julie Bonner and Jeff Brack aren’t just filmmakers—they’re community connectors, creatives, and true Tucsonans. This film marks their first official on-screen collaboration, and their chemistry fuels every frame of Over Again. While Jeff wrote and directed the film, Julie co-produced and played a pivotal role in building connections, organizing production, and pushing the project forward.

What’s truly special is how their personal and professional partnership influenced the film. From late-night writing sessions at Cartel Coffee Lab to bringing their children into the casting review process, Over Again became a family project grounded in love, trust, and creativity. Their story is a testament to what happens when two passionate people bring their talents together with a shared purpose.

🎶 Tucson’s Soundtrack: A Story Told Through Local Music

A defining element of Over Again is its original music, composed specifically for the film by Cameron Hood, one-half of Tucson’s beloved acoustic duo, Ryanhood. Unlike most film scores that are added post-production, Cameron’s song was crafted from the script itself—emotionally aligned with the film’s arc and performed live on set by the lead actor.

This collaboration created a powerful moment where music and story converge, and the track was so strong that Cameron and Ryan Green have adapted it into a full Ryanhood release for their upcoming album.

That song? Appropriately titled: Over Again.

🎥 Short Film, Big Vision: The Indie Journey from Script to Screen

Jeff Brack began writing Over Again after rekindling his love for storytelling through his work at RoadHouse Cinemas, where he books live music. Inspired by Tucson’s musical landscape, he began with the idea of a feature film, but scaled it into a 15-minute short to capture the emotional core in a digestible format.

The production came together in just a few months—a remarkable feat considering the level of detail. Locations like the Century Room at Hotel Congress, Barrio Viejo, and skyline drone shots showcase Tucson’s unique visual charm. More than 2,000 actors submitted auditions for the lead roles, and the film features a mix of LA talent and local support, including students from the University of Arizona and Pima Community College, giving the next generation of filmmakers a front-row seat.

This meticulous approach—balancing efficiency with artistic integrity—underscores how a short film can deliver long-lasting impact when done right.

📍 Tucson as a Character: Filming in the Old Pueblo

Tucson isn’t just a setting in Over Again—it’s a central character. From the warm tones of Barrio Viejo’s adobe streets to the moody interior of The Century Room, the film leverages real-life spaces that locals love and visitors are enchanted by. These visuals are more than backdrops—they’re cultural signposts that reflect the soul of the Southwest.

With cameos from familiar Tucson faces, carefully chosen scenery, and a soundtrack that sings with Sonoran soul, Over Again is a visual love letter to the Old Pueblo.

🏆 What’s Next: A Film Festival Journey with Tucson at Its Core

While Over Again is not yet publicly released, Julie and Jeff have begun submitting it to high-profile festivals across the country. One exciting target? The Nashville Film Festival, which celebrates storytelling through music—a perfect match for this musically driven narrative.

The hope is that Over Again will not only resonate with festival audiences, but also shine a spotlight on Tucson’s creative talent, infrastructure, and potential as a film hub. From seasoned editors in LA to student interns in Tucson, this project was stitched together by a network of collaborators who believe in the power of story and place.

Tom Heath
Good morning. It’s, beautiful Sunday in the Old Pueblo. And you’re listening to Katy Tucson. Thank you for spending part of your brunch hour with us on your downtown Tucson community. Sponsored, all volunteer powered rock and roll radio station. This week we’re joined by Julie Bonner, co-producer, and Jeff Brack, writer, director and co-producer of a short film made in downtown Tucson.

Tom Heath
It’s called Over Again. We’ll talk about the challenges of making the film and what comes next for this Hollywood power couple. Today is May 11th. It’s Mother’s Day. My name is Tom Heath and this is life along the street. Car. Every Sunday we shine a light on social, cultural and economic forces shaping Tucson’s urban core from a mountain to the University of Arizona and all stops in between.

Tom Heath
Well, I kind of joked there about Jeff and Julie being a power couple, but it’s really hard to find something creative in Tucson that doesn’t have one or the others. Fingerprints on it. They’re heavily involved with so many things. Especially on the creative side. And to get them in the same room to chat about this movie they made called Over again was, it was really, really fun for me.

Tom Heath
So we recorded this just, about a week or so ago in the, show Source Studios. Well, we’re, joined here in the studio. I think both of you have been on the show before at some point. I know you have joined. Yeah. So. But you haven’t been on together, have you?

Jeff Brack
No, no, this is a nice video, you know.

Tom Heath
Oh, that’s true. And, and and you’ve got to see the video because we’re all wearing black robes or all. I got the memo. So I’m with, Julie Bonner, Jeff Brack, the co-producers of a movie called Over Again and, just recently premiered. And we’re going to talk a little bit about today. Does that sound fun? Yeah, that’s something else.

Julie Bonner
Well, no. And Jeff actually wrote and directed.

Tom Heath
I’m not going to get to that. Okay. This is someone that always hosts her own podcast. So she’s trying to get all this stuff in. I’m just trying to get. Yeah, he’s into.

Julie Bonner
It, you know.

Tom Heath
So you wrote and directed it as well. Jeff, tell us a little bit.

Jeff Brack
I did.

Tom Heath
Well, let’s let’s take it. Let’s take a few a few steps back here. Okay. Over again is, your is this is your first, your first film?

Jeff Brack
No, no, no, I, so I went to film school at U of A, and then I was a TV producer, and I did some short films, and I did a pilot for TV series that didn’t become anything, which most don’t. So that’s not unusual. Big hiatus where I took a detour into athletics, where I, was in the tennis business as a tennis pro and running facilities and tournaments for 20 years.

Jeff Brack
But then I came and I joined some friends, and we started Roadhouse Cinemas, which is a diner and movie theater concept that’s been doing really well and got me back near this thing that I love so much. Sentiment got me thinking, so I, I wrote a script and that was actually a feature film that, I’ve been working on trying to get made and, sort of bring it back to over again.

Jeff Brack
It’s much easier to get a short made than it is to get a feature made. Okay. So, a good buddy of mine, Nick dart, is a local filmmaker, a great guy. He and I would meet monthly or bi monthly and talk about our films, and we have similar sized projects we’re trying to get made.

Jeff Brack
And, one day he just said, hey, man, let’s just make some shorts. Actually, he’s the one that gave me the push. Say, go. And, you know, he said, you you’re really interested in the Tucson music scene. And you had started writing a script about that. Why don’t you write that? Do it. Do a short film about that, about that.

Jeff Brack
So that’s kind of his push, that direction. It inspired me to do it. So I sat down and wrote a short film, and like you said, you don’t have to get permission or funding or go meet with financiers or anything. You know, you have to get permission. So we we shot a short film.

Tom Heath
So you wrote, you directed and produced for you. So, Julie, how did how did you even finagle a co-producer credit? How did you get in on this? What did you do? Well, I.

Julie Bonner
Think because I’m the ultimate partner, I’m just saying. And that’s that’s not to brag. You are. But I’m here to, support Jess and in any way possible. And so with my expertise with, like, creativity and, my connections helping Jess however I could.

Tom Heath
As a producer should do that. So that’s what. That’s what you’re supposed to do your best to get it. Get it from from the idea stage to the screen yet.

Julie Bonner
So. So where I could help.

Jeff Brack
I’ll take it back even further, though. When I was writing my feature script, you know, life gets in the way of these kind of projects and these endeavors and she was actually one that would push me to grow, right? You know, a lot of times people are trying to distract you, right? And let’s do this. And she would say, you know, clear your schedule, go Wednesday night.

Jeff Brack
I mean, she would actually support me going to the coffee shop and writing. And she’s the reason she, she would say, set some milestones. That’s a mile. So get it finished. And so she pushed me like, got it, got that script finished. So it just kind of continued. When we decided to do the short film, she was supportive and, any way she can be, you know, she’s very network.

Jeff Brack
She has great ideas. She knows how to connect, connect with resources.

Tom Heath
And, you know, we are a nonprofit radio station, so we don’t do, promotions and things of that nature. However, I do think your coffee shop needs a plug because that became your office for so many years.

Julie Bonner
Yes. What? We were literally just there today. So. So, yes, we love working at Cartel Coffee Shop. And while Jeff was working on his script and writing, I generally work on my freelance design and marketing projects. So if it feels like amazing quality time to sit across from each other and maybe not talk would just like be there and work on our creative endeavors.

Tom Heath
By keeping us each other accountable. Because you’re there like I got to be. Or she’s still working. So I exactly got to keep working. He’s still working. So I gotta keep working. Yes.

Jeff Brack
There’s I don’t know, there’s there’s a mystery about coffee shops. I don’t know what it is, but when you’re writing, it’s just the perfect amount of noise. But nothing’s too distracting. And it keeps, you know, it’s it’s isolated because you don’t know any of the other people other than my wife, Sidney Crosby. So you feel like you can focus.

Jeff Brack
So I don’t know what it is, but I’ve written probably about 80% of my feature in there and 100% of my short in there.

Tom Heath
So on the on the short film, you get this idea. Next, like, hey, let’s do shorts and use like, okay. And you I understand this short as it was an adaptation of a feature that you that you’ve been working on. No. Or.

Jeff Brack
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was it was a feature script I had started based on the idea of I really, I’m the music booker at Roadhouse Cinema. So, in our three locations, we have live music, and I’ve gotten to know a lot of great local musicians, and it really I just fell in love with the whole Tucson music scene.

Jeff Brack
And it’s just the talent that’s here and the musicians. So I really wanted to write something that would incorporate that into the movie. So I started a feature script with the intent of having a all Tucson soundtrack. Okay. And so I what I did is I plucked those main characters out from the feature script, and I wrote the short script using those characters similar idea, not the same story.

Jeff Brack
So I, you know, carried over that same idea with the music, tying that in so integral. And, you know, I talked, my good friend Cameron Hood, who’s, you know, Cameron fan.

Tom Heath
Yeah.

Jeff Brack
Part of Ryan Hood.

Tom Heath
Starts our show.

Julie Bonner
Off every week. Their music choice.

Tom Heath
And they’ve been with us for ever since the beginning.

Jeff Brack
Yeah, I know you know him well, so I, I knew I needed a song written before it. Normally all the music’s done after the movie shot, but in this case, my character needs to perform live in the movie. So we. I knew we had to write the song before the production. So I talked Cameron into after several meetings, talked me into writing an original song for the movie, and then we gave my lead actor cast out of LA for weeks to master it.

Jeff Brack
So he perform it live.

Julie Bonner
Can I, can I, can I add to that? So. So what was really fun to see about this process is, we know so many amazing local musicians and Jeff and Cameron, just really hit it off. But when he thought about the heart, an emotion that needs to come from this title track, he thought of Cameron Hood.

Julie Bonner
And also he shared his script with Cameron. And so Cameron really took in the script. They met, they talked about it, really, going from digging deep to that process. And the song that Cameron created is amazing and ties so much into his story. And it’s self is telling a story. And when we got to hear a little demo, like over the phone, I, I was like, I think just.

Jeff Brack
Tears in my eyes.

Julie Bonner
Yes, tears. And then I was like, he captured it.

Tom Heath
He got it. Yeah.

Jeff Brack
It it dove deep into the script and pulled stuff out.

Julie Bonner
And I told him he has a hit.

Tom Heath
Yes.

Jeff Brack
You did something hit and I don’t. You may not know this. I’ll. I’ll break the news here that he and Ryan have decided to make it an official Ryan hit song. Oh, so they’ve tweaked it, and they’re in the process recording it. It’ll be on the next album.

Tom Heath
Fantastic. Yeah. There you go. Breaking news. I love breaking news. We’re always breaking news here. That’s just fantastic. We, the current version that was available, on Spotify. Right.

Jeff Brack
The the well, I would call that the, songwriter. Not the Cameron’s version.

Julie Bonner
Cameron song, but but soon demo. Yeah.

Tom Heath
Okay. And it’s in this in the demos called Over again.

Jeff Brack
It’s called over again. Yeah.

Julie Bonner
So you’re right, it’s on Spotify.

Jeff Brack
Spotify playlist.

Tom Heath
And, if you stick around, you might not have to go anywhere to find over again. It’s very possible that will be the, music that we leave the show with today. We’re talking with Julie Bonner and Jeff Brack, about their feature film or their short film, called Over Again, featuring, the music of Tucson artists and the landscape of Tucson and even the venues of Tucson.

Tom Heath
We’ll get back into, more of how they made this movie and kind of what’s next for them in just a moment. But first, I want to remind you that you’re listening to life Along the streetcar in Downtown radio 99.1 FM and streaming on downtown radio.org.

Tom Heath
All right. We are back. We’re going to finish up our interview here with a Jeff Brack and Julie Bonner. They are co-producers and many other things on the short film over again, which is, we’re going to find out making its way through the festival circuit and hopefully will be out later in the year for us to watch.

Tom Heath
We’re going to jump back into that interview and talk a little bit more about their process and, and how they got to where they are with this movie and what’s coming next. Well, and you get this idea. You kind of you start you start the process. How long does it take to get from okay, I, I know I want to do a short and I’ve got a character and I’ve got kind of an idea, but you have to go through, you’ve got to find all the technical people, you’ve got to find locations and actors and like, how long does this take?

Jeff Brack
Well, let’s see, we I, I started writing in August. The script came fast. It did. And I can tell you about how Cameron helped me with that, but, the script did evolve, but it and it got better. But that was a pretty short window. And then between, you know, the end of August, we shot in November.

Jeff Brack
I mean, it was it’s a it’s a short window, but it is a short film. So, you know, it takes a lot of preparation in some ways. You have to be hyper precise because you only have two days of shooting versus 20, 15 or 20 for a feature. But, in this case, you know, we had enough time to for, for a two day shoot to get organized.

Jeff Brack
But I say a couple months.

Tom Heath
Okay. And what’s the length of of the final product?

Jeff Brack
It’s 15 minutes, 14 minutes, 55 seconds.

Tom Heath
So, 14 minutes and 55 seconds to tell a complete story is challenging. Yeah. I mean, like.

Julie Bonner
I said.

Tom Heath
Like, every word has to have a precise location in that script. I mean.

Jeff Brack
Yes, in fact, most people, after they’ve watched it, especially because of the nature of the story, they want to watch it again.

Julie Bonner
So if they want to watch it over again, over again.

Tom Heath
That’s why she’s co-producer. People right there, there we go.

Jeff Brack
But you do go back and rewatch it, but we wanted to use as much local talent as we could, but there’s going to be some key places where we just there’s people. I wanted to work with. And the cast. We just decided to go for the best we could get, especially once Covid hit. It’s become an online process.

Jeff Brack
Okay? And you put out a call and you get submissions and you go through this whole back.

Julie Bonner
And forth submissions.

Jeff Brack
So for the for the male lead, we had like 950 submissions. And for the female lead we had 1300. And we had to go through this. But it’s a really I mean, it’s very efficient. I have to say it works really well. We were impressed.

Julie Bonner
Can I, can I share a little behind the scenes?

Jeff Brack
Sure. You could.

Tom Heath
Ask and you could just jump in and start telling us this.

Julie Bonner
Another fun piece of this project. It was such a family project. And so, from myself to our kids, you know, being a part of the process and just narrowing down casting to about 15 leads, you know, both male and then the female lead and then, we watched them and watched their audition tapes, reading the script and then especially the male role, he has to also be a musician.

Julie Bonner
He has to play guitar. He has to sing and emote and bring that energy. And, Lexi and Michael both brought this like, charisma that I, we are looking for. And it was really fun to be a part of it, including, you know, our kids got to see the behind the scenes and those audition tapes. And by the time Lexi Michael came there, celebrities like in our kids eyes, like Sarah couldn’t wait to, like, talk to him and and see her, you know, you’ll see her in the film briefly.

Julie Bonner
It’s really fun.

Jeff Brack
There was something that we, that X factor we were looking for. And, you know, I would like to think that we took it as far as we could for, for even a short film, the kind of meticulous approach that a feature film would have where they didn’t want to just cast people that were going to be good at saying the lines, or they needed something that that likability factor that Julie mentioned, that charisma.

Jeff Brack
Yeah. So yeah, in my example, I give all the time is like Meg Ryan, she walks on the screen and you just like her. You don’t know why. There’s just some people that just just have that, you know, charisma. And so that was part of what we were looking for. Can they, you know, how good are they with the lines.

Jeff Brack
You know, do they emote? Do they understand the script? How was their chemistry together? But then on top of that, we were looking at who do you just like them immediately. Because I needed, like you said, in a very short amount of time, the audience had to fall in love with that couple. And then, you know, when things progressed for the rest of the story, it means something to you.

Tom Heath
Well, one of the characters that, I was very fond of was, Tucson.

Julie Bonner
Yeah. Just to sunset was a.

Tom Heath
Big part of big. The short audience, it all takes place in the downtown area. Yeah. A century room was the main. Yeah. The main focus in Barrio Viejo.

Jeff Brack
I’d say the hotel, Congress and center room could not have been more supportive. I’m still astonished at how generous they were. The time they gave us, we had their dark on Tuesdays, so we planned to landed on that day when we did our shoot.

Julie Bonner
In.

Jeff Brack
November. In November? Yeah. And, they gave us the day to shoot. And, you know, when you’re in that club, it looks like nighttime any time of the day. So we were shooting all day into the evening and it all looks like nighttime, but, yeah, the we really wanted to show off the beauty of downtown and, you know, it can be shot anywhere but to the fact that it’s to something.

Tom Heath
If it’s local musicians. I think that ties in that, that that theme as well. So you had the premiere. It’s out there. But now what like do we check it out on Netflix? Like where does someone see over again?

Jeff Brack
Well, it’s not out there to be careful. It was a private for mayor. And the reason why I have to stress that is that some festivals, they’re looking for a premiere status. Okay. Certain festivals have different from.

Tom Heath
So that’s where we are now. We’re looking at film festivals.

Jeff Brack
Yes. So we’ll try to get it out there. I mean, there’s a few reasons I made a short film, and one of them is, you know, get me on the camera. It’s been a while to have a recent credit on my IMDb. Something in recent years, to show off, Tucson, you know, and, festivals, you know.

Jeff Brack
Well, I’m sorry, I do something. I forgot to have something to show producers when we’re talking about feature length project, they want to know, have you made anything recently? Well, now I have something to show. We made something recently. And then kind of the bonus at the end is, you know, festivals. So you can get it out there and you can get some exposure for not just you, but other the talent in the film, the other, filmmakers involved is.

Tom Heath
There like a circuit or do you, do you are you targeting specific festivals? Is there is there a process behind that, like where you submit or.

Jeff Brack
Yeah, I mean, my process was we’re very proud of the film. So we decided to be very ambitious. The odds are very long to get into these high profile festivals. But we’re trying we’re going to try for the big ones. But there are, other festivals that are going to be a good fit. So hopefully we have a shot at it.

Tom Heath
When do you find this out?

Jeff Brack
It’s it’s like a.

Julie Bonner
From now until a.

Jeff Brack
Trickle.

Tom Heath
From now until the. Yeah.

Jeff Brack
So I think about every month we’re going to get 1 or 2 notifications. I will share one that we, that I occurred to me just a couple days ago and luckily I, I thought of, submitting to it, but, you know, who knows? It’s a long shot to any festival but Nashville. Film festival, I thought, how did I not think of that earlier when I was starting this process?

Jeff Brack
It’s perfect. It’s it’s a city that’s focused on live music. Celebration of music. And their festival focuses on celebration music. And so I thought, what a natural. So let’s give you an example of one that we’re going for.

Tom Heath
And so as we’re teasing this fabulous short film, 14 minutes, 55 seconds of, of heavily, emoting, we’re basically telling people you can’t see it. Is that is it like, at what point can will the general public be able to see it, or is it?

Julie Bonner
Well, go ahead, you can answer that.

Jeff Brack
Well, we just have to get past the point where, we’re submitting to festivals that require. So I would say I would say by the end of the year.

Tom Heath
Oh, fantastic.

Jeff Brack
Oh, post it on my site and people can view it will promote it for sure. Once, once when they’re putting it out there for the public.

Julie Bonner
I want I want to add a little bit just to and you brought up Tucson in general. And so like you mentioned, you know, we filmed in downtown Tucson. I love that he also hired a, drone photographer to have that amazing skyline, sorry, like downtown City View right in the beginning. And then, like you mentioned, Barry Vail, which is, is it our oldest neighborhood in Tucson or one of the oldest?

Julie Bonner
One of the oldest. One of the oldest, was a pleasure. And not only that, but, some of the others, the supporting actors are Tucson actors. And behind the scenes, he had help, in the what would we call the, we had students from UVA.

Jeff Brack
And.

Julie Bonner
We had we had students from UVA and Pima Community College there. Yeah. Brought in Sean Olsen from LA and Isaac along. I. Longy from.

Jeff Brack
Kansas City.

Julie Bonner
Kansas City. He’s he’s the amazing cinematographer. I think that’s one thing that I think everyone will notice is just how beautiful.

Jeff Brack
Yeah.

Julie Bonner
It’s it looks well mentioned Sean.

Jeff Brack
You know, he he’s a very good friend of mine. We went to film school together. He’s a U of a Wildcat as well. He lives in Burbank, works in LA. Fairly successful director. Editor. I mean, he’s he’s an award winner. And it was he was a huge part of helping me get this thing done. He’s just been a great friend, very supportive, very encouraging.

Jeff Brack
And that he gets a co-producer credit because he’s the his support throughout the process. And his resources and connections. And, you know, he helped me get people on board that I might not have been able to get on board.

Julie Bonner
So he also edited the film.

Jeff Brack
He also edited the film and say he’s phenomenal at what he does.

Tom Heath
I love it, I love the what you said earlier, doing it right and using as much of the local talent and then going outside where you needed to. But I think what we need to do here as we’re wrapping up is, we need to have you come back once this is more, once we’ve sort of gotten this circuit, the film festivals and maybe have a recap of of how that process went.

Tom Heath
But for now, I want to thank you guys for for coming into this fabulous, telling us about this fabulous story.

Julie Bonner
Thank you. Thanks, Tom. Thank.

Well, I have been quite remiss in this, and I’m I’m I’m just, I guess not really good at some of the, the, marketing elements of this, fabulous program we have, but we have been, putting out really high quality video of these interviews on, our web page, Life Lifelong Street Car Talk.

We’ve also been putting them out through the social media channels. So if you like to see these guests, almost every show we’re doing now has an audio and video component. So after the show wraps up here on Sundays, we, we take the, the content and we put it up on, on our various platforms for the, podcast.

And then YouTube, has the video, but you can just get all of that stuff at our website. Lifelong Street car, dawg, and, and tell us what you think and also kind of keep in touch with us on Instagram, on Facebook, around, you know, in the evenings, because we’re sending out little shorts of these interviews out through, through those medium and getting really good response.

Lots of views. Our guests are incredibly interesting. And when we can, boil down what something they’re trying to say into a 32nd sound bite. Man, it it really packs a punch. So, I hope you get a chance to check that out and then let us know what you think. We need that feedback as we’re experimenting and trying all this new stuff here.

And the person helping me with this is James Portis. He’s our production specialist. Amanda Maltose is our production assistant. My name is Tom Heath. I am the host and producer of the show. Every week we have opening music from Ryan Hood. It’s called Dillinger Days. And this week, in honor of our guests and, the work they’re doing on the movie over again, we’re going to end you with the, song written by Cameron Sigo.
