This week’s featured episode of The Short Cut Podcast features @okpaymitch Mitch Yapko and the film he screened at the @sjisff San Jose International Short Film Festival “Watching Walter”, the true story of a holocaust survivor who turned a skill he learned under duress into a lifelong career. Mitch and I discuss the inspiration for his film, the stress of directing real actors through#sanjosefilmmakers fake violence, as well as the relentless drive he feels to tell meaningful stories that create an impact.

#SJSFF25 RECAP! Huge thanks to the San Jose International Short Film Festival (@sjisff ) for an amazing weekend of screenings and to everyone who came out to see and support our short films, SAVERIO (@saveriothefilm ) and THE CLOCK! 💛
Well I am back home in the UK and now just reflecting on the past fortnight in California
What an amazing experience to spend time at the San Jose International Short Film Festival (followed by the Newport Beach Film Festival). We are so honoured to be able to screen Clutter for audiences in the US and very proud of this film that we made with director James Card and the rest of the team
For me it was so great to meet so many wonderful filmmakers across both the festivals and to make connections, see their amazing shorts and have such an awe inspiring time with them
Thanks so much to the team in San Jose, Bill, Sinohui & Marcella and all the volunteers who make this festival possible.
And special shout out to @Romchyck which Suzanne exec produced and which we are following round the festival circuit
Had the best time with my screening companion / driver / friend Sarah, her hubby James and also Colleen & her eldest who flew in from Austin to see the film
