Hold your ears, folks.

It's showtime.

People pay good money to see this movie.

When they go out to a theater, they want cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in the projection booth.

Everyone pretend podcasting isn't boring.

Shut it off.

Turn it off.

Turn it off.

Hey folks. Welcome to a special episode of the projection booth.

I'm your host Mike White on this episode.

I'm talking with Ed Ochooy and Sonia Epstein.

They are two of the programmers behind the 2024 first look film festival,

which takes place at the Museum of the Moving Image.

This year it is happening March 13th through March 17th.

Find out more at movingimage.org or look for the link in the show notes, where you can see the whole darn program and find out more how to get some tickets.

If you're in the New York area, I highly recommend that you get on over there and see a

very well curated series of films, shorts, some other things, art installations, good stuff

for you.

Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy the interview.

It has been about a year since we've talked. Can you tell me a little bit about what you've been

up to over the last year and how it's been putting together first look 2024 for the

Museum of the Moving Image? It's been a very stressful, as always, but rewarding process, programming the festival.
