I had the pleasure of interviewing Jesse Kretsinger, creator of the film, on It Matters with Kelly Cordes this morning on WJON. You can listen to the interview by clicking the player below.
The film features interviews and footage throughout the course of the production, which were conducted by Jess himself, along with with Lucas and Michael, Co-Director Michael Kalpakoff, Assistant Director Christian Thoms-Warzecha, and cast members Ryan Stangl, Madeline Wright, Nate Moga, Emma Ahlin, Angela Wright, Luke Rentschler, and Mia Hoffman.
Jesse, who has been more comfortable as a film maker rather than an actor, put his talents to use as a member of the cast, putting him in the middle of the story while he was documenting it. Not an easy task!
