Ep. 33 - Smile w/Jim and Pat Healy

Ben Reiser talks to Sofia Theodore - Pierce about HEAR ME SOMETIMES.

The experimental Hear Me Sometimes is lush with beautifully textured images and sounds, addressing themes of motherhood, loss, expectation, care, and legacy. (BS)

Ep 70 - Sofia Theodore - Pierce HEAR ME SOMETIMES Q&A 2021 Wisconsin Film Festival

After a “few” drinks at dinner, Ryan and Scott answer questions that Ben collected from the audience at the 10/21 Metro show. Topics include the squandering of Rod Stewart’s God-given gifts, the squandering of Steve Miller’s killer pop instincts, color Kubrick movies in black and white, the firing of Dewey Cole, booze hounds, useless hot sauces, sitting next to Udo Kier, Ben’s man love for Justin Hawkins, Ryan’s shower fantasies, and Gabe says “Fuck this”. This might be the best Road Report ever, but to paraphrase Billy Crudup in “Almost Famous” — we may have been in too truthful a mood.
