ARTS EXTRACT PODCAST Wisconsin Film Fest Preview, Part One

This weekend, our Wisconsin Film Festival coverage partners, Scott Gordon at Arts Extract and David Klein at LakeFrontRow, were kind enough to invite Jake Smith and myself to join them in recording a Festival Preview episode of the Arts Extract Podcast. The hour-long discussion was split into two episodes, and Part Two (Episode 75) will drop on Friday.

If you haven’t already, you should subscribe to the Arts Extract Podcast, not only for this Wisconsin Film Festival coverage, but also for a wide range of local arts coverage.

From Arts Extract Podcast, Episode 74:

This week, we’re bringing you a two-part podcast with David Klein of LakeFrontRow and James Kreul and Jake Smith of Madison Film Forum about a broad selection of films and themes at this year’s Wisconsin Film Festival. In this first part of the conversation, we discuss highlights, disappointments, “The good kind of walk-outs,” the importance of short films at the fest, and the pitfalls of political pandering. Look for part two on Friday, and go here to keep up with the WFF preview coverage our three sites have been partnering to create this year.
