Filmmaker Chris Browne, whose day job happens to be Global Visual Effects Supervisor at Sony Pictures Animation, brought his amazing short film "Pleroma" to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2023 and took home the Filmmakers Awards for Outstanding Short Film – SciFi and Outstanding Screenplay – SciFi.  You have to wait a little while to see this film, but if you want to be very, very cool then you should come its premiere at Screamfest in October of 2023.  I'm gonna do my best to be there!

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed recording it!  Chris is a truly nice person who also has a truly engaging personal story of how he went from a small town outside of Toronto to Los Angeles by way of Vancouver.

What are the 4Qs?  (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

Rich & Matt Van Tine have brought two films to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival over the years; "A Side of Fries" in 2018 and "Magic Box" in 2022.  Both films are superb and I'd looked forward to getting these two on the DIF podcast for years.  And you know that once they were on the mics I would have them answer the DIF 4Qs above.
