4 Questions: THE GOOD SOLDIER

We thought it would be a good idea to help you get to know some of our fantastic filmmakers.  So, borrowing an idea from LA Weekly’s Karina Longworth (the Bernard Pivot to our James Lipton), we submitted four questions to each filmmaker about and themselves and their films.  We’ll be randomly posting as many responses as we can fit in between now and the kick-off.

Let’s hear from Aaron Gibson, whose film The Good Soldier will premiere in the X-Files shorts program, Friday, June 11th at 10:00pm.


1. Tell us about your movie. Give us the reductive, 25-word or less, “It’s like [pop culture reference a] meets [pop culture reference b]!” pitch, then explain what the quick and dirty sell leaves out.

The Good Soldier is a WWII era nostalgia film with a Hitchcockian slant. Read more…
