TwoOhSix Interviews - Ben Kasulke Director of Banana Split for SIFF 2019

One of the first movies I watched for the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival was the super fun coming of age comedy Banana Split which was directed by Ben Kasulke who had worked for years in the Seattle area film industry before moving to California. Having an opportunity to sit down with Ben to discuss the new movie was a real treat as you can tell he has a real passion for film making and a ton of knowledge about his craft.

Support the Girls - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review

The Movie: Support the Girls

The Director: Andrew Bujalski

The Cast: Regina Hall, Haley Lu Richardson, Shayna McHayle, James LeGros, Dylan Gelula, AJ Michalka, Brooklyn Decker, Lea DeLaria, Jana Kramer, John Elvis

The Story: The general manager at a highway-side ''sports bar with curves" has her incurable optimism and faith, in her girls, her customers, and herself, tested over the course of a long, strange day.

The Review:
So, when the credits started rolling, I was genuinely surprised because I was still waiting for the story to start. Seriously. Nothing happens of any significance that would warrant this being a feature film. It was like four episodes of a bad sitcom strung together with no commercial breaks. Great cast, though so there's that.


Support the Girls is an official selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.
