A Place For Film - Student Film Lester Kannon

Episode 67 - Discussing Lester Kannon

On this week's episode, we're talking to Danielle Head and Graham Walsh, two of the filmmakers behind the student film Lester Kannon. It's a mockumentary about the fictional rock star Lester Kannon, a character based on an art project by Danielle. A very fun episode this week, about a very fun movie.

We start out with What Have You Seen Lately. Jason talks about Jarhead. Andy saw a bunch of documentaries, Tintin, and My Week With Marilyn.

We then talk about Lester Kannon: where the idea came from, how the filmmakers achieved all of the different styles, and how they managed to make it feel so real. It's a great movie, so track it down, and check out Danielle's artwork in the links below.
