0:00.0	Hello, my name's Justin the Klu, and I'm here today with Will Sloan.
0:10.3	And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club.
0:13.2	And this week, we're talking about filmmaker Patrick Wang.
0:17.4	That's right. Festival Month continues on the important cinema club podcast. This is the month
0:22.3	where we're talking about either film festivals or filmmakers who thrive at festivals.

1:06.6	And they would have studios knocking down their door.
1:08.7	And yet, this filmmaker, you know, he's not showing his stuff at the New York Film Festival, not at Cannes, not even at TIF. I mean, he shows at some smaller festivals. So he's a counterintuitive suggestion. Well, when you think a festival, maybe you think of like the big guys. This guy did play festivals, such acclaimed film festivals like the What the Film Festival?
1:28.5	That's right. So what's what the film festival?
1:30.3	Well, that's a film festival spearheaded by Peter Koppelowski and that I help program as well
1:35.0	because it's like laser blast film society focused.
