In this week's episode, host Elly Hofmaier shares how decisions to release highly anticipated films on streaming platforms are causing a shift in the film industry. Then, we'll share our conversations with midwest film (and FilmScene!) programmer Rebecca Fons and hear all about Jamie Ellis' twelve-hour long Best Show Ever.
The episode features music by Gossip Cult, Alex Body, and the song of the week, “Aerial Oceans", a track from midwest folk group The Pines’ 2015 record, ‘Above the Prairie’.
