Actors Talk - Come Inside The Acting Business034 ATP SXSW Jury Prize Winner – Tishuan Scott – The Retrieval - Actors Talk - Free Resources and Interviews For On-Camera ActorsTHE RETRIEVAL
The Retrieval, beautifully written and directed by Chris Eska, is one of only two films I was able to see at SXSW 2013. I have to say, if I could do it over again and could see only two films, I'd see the same two films in a heartbeat.
The other film I saw at SXSW 2013 was the equally impressive This Is Where We Live. I'll defer talk about that outstanding film until the next episode of Actors Talk Podcast which will feature my interview with the writer, co-director and star, Marc Menchaca.
