Get ready to witness the future of film. On this episode, actor-filmmaker Patrick Keleher sits down with visionary indie filmmaker Luca Pizzoleo — the guy who turned short films like O.C.D. into viral phenoms and built a body of work spanning edgy crime-dramas, dark comedies and genre-bending stories. Luca’s filmography includes the bold In the Valley of the Moon, a ’70s-inspired crime drama that sparked a cult TikTok wave, and The Tragic Death of a Frenchman, a raunchy stoner comedy proving that creativity doesn’t live in boxes. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Patrick and Luca break down how to ignite a filmmaking revolution when the studio system says “no”. Why being an outsider is your greatest advantage. What the new landscape of storytelling really looks like — for creators, by creators. Luca’s upcoming feature (Starring Steven Ogg, known for Grand Theft Auto V) that’s going to shake things up in a major way. If you’re ready to be part of the rebellion, to challenge the status quo and build something legendary from the ground up — this episode is your manifesto. Tune in, turn up, and join the movement. The revolution isn’t coming. It’s happening — right now.
