In our first remote interview, Marc talks to Rocco DeVilliers, writer/director of the film “The Flyboys” during the closing night party of the 2008 Omaha Film Festival after he won the Jury Prize and Audience Choice Awards.  It was a very large and very loud party, so we found the quietest place we could to do the interview.  I’ll let you figure out where we decided to do it.

Check out information about Rocco’s film at www.theflyboysmovie.com

Remember to check back at www.omahafilmfestival.org for updates on upcoming events.

Thanks to Mark Booker for the bumper music.

This week Marc and Jeremy have a very special in studio guest.  OFF Director number 3 (better known as Jason Levering) grace them with his presence.  Various topics are discussed such as their recent experience at the Blue Man Group show.  Great show, viewed from the second row and we got backstage passes too.  (Merry Christmas from Jeremy)

Also discussed is the Kansas International Film Festival.  We’ve visited their festival for the last two years and have had great experiences there.  Highly recommended for filmmakers and filmgoers alike.

We also announce the special screenings we’ll be having at Benson Days on June 14th.  More information to come soon.

And Marc and Jeremy also introduce the first (and hopefully last) OFF the EDGE drinking game.

And there might be a special incentive to listen to this show.  IF you want free tix to the festival this year.  Hmmm.
