Today on #BTLRadioShow it’s a day celebrating some talented and very happy and fun filmmakers and their latest films; ANDY FICKMAN talking ONE TRUE LOVES and GARO SETIAN & ANAHIT SETIAN talking SPACE WARS: QUEST FOR THE DEEPSTAR. Each of the filmmakers you’ll hear from in my prerecorded exclusive interviews are brimming with joy and happiness as they talk about their respective films and their craft. And another commonality among them is their attention to detail in the making of their films.
First up, take a listen to the oh-so-talented and oh-so-fun ANDY FICKMAN talking about his new film ONE TRUE LOVES. Starring Simu Liu, Luke Bracey, and Phillipa Soo, ONE TRUE LOVES is a tale filled with love, heartache, and happiness that is sweet, sentimental, and poignant as Emma (Soo) marries the love of her life Jesse (Bracey) only to lose him to a tragic accident a year later. But as time passes, she reconnects with her childhood best friend Sam (Liu) and falls deeply in love with him. But as Emma readies for a future with Sam, Jesse suddenly appears. How do you choose between the two loves of your life? And that’s the journey that Andy takes us on and discusses in this interview with each aspect of the directorial process.
ONE TRUE LOVES is now available on VOD and digital.
Then get ready, as we blast off with director/co-writer/editor GARO SETIAN and producer/actor ANAHIT SETIAN and go deep into the making of SPACE WARS: QUEST FOR THE DEEPSTAR. A fun fun film that pays homage to the best parts of sci-fi fantasy films, SPACE WARS is the story of father-daughter space cowboys Kip and Taylor Corman as they travel the galaxies on an elusive search for something very precious. Along for the ride is a fellow space traveler named Jackie. As comes as no surprise there are bad guys in pursuit, an over-the-top very pissed-off female ship captain named Elnora, and plenty of creatures, aliens, space battles, and more! Starring Michael Pare, Sarah French, Olivier Gruner, Tyler Gallant, Jed Rowen, Sadie Katz, and ANAHIT SETIAN (who steals the film with heart and humor), Garo celebrates practical effects and buttresses that VFX and creature creations while always keeping his eye on character and story. And speaking with GARO & ANAHIT together is beyond fun. Not only husband and wife, but filmmaking collaborators, their chemistry and upbeat energy and joy is off the charts. And the dedication to their craft? Remarkable. They are definitely now on my “must see” list for all of their films. And we cover it all in this exclusive interview.
SPACE WARS: QUEST FOR THE DEEPSTAR is screening in select theatres now and is available digitally on May 2, 2023.
