Pizzeria Cinematica, feat. Amanda Sinks and Alex Raaen (73)

Filmmaker Amanda Sinks returns to Mars to talk about her latest film project, tentatively called "Delivery," and brought her cinematographer Alex Raaen along to talk about the 80's filmmaking styles that heavily inspired the shoot. As Amanda's previously put it, "It’s a short film about a local delivery pizza guy who is tested for his courage of love. This story is a part of a bigger story world. But for now this story will warm your heart, and make you have a laugh or two." We discuss the filmmaking process, the hard work behind the scenes and how Santa Clarita inspired much of what's in the film. We're so excited to see the finished product, as indicative of our chat about 80's cinema by filmmakers like Spielberg, Hughes and Carpenter. 

We close the episode talking about some news regarding the sight of a Confederate battle flag during a GOP-held July 4th vehicle parade in Santa Clarita and how it came to yelling at a recent city council meeting.
