You know, one of the wonderful things about today's movie is it reminds us that we're all a little bit absolutely crazy.

Howdy, I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A. My agenda is simple. Each week I plan to bring you in-depth insight into the creative process of storytelling.

Folks, you know, this was a fun one, and we are all a bit crazy, and that's why today's film, The Madness Inside Me, was so much fun to watch. And of course,

we have with us writer, director, Matthew Berkowitz for the Q&A. This is an interesting

psychological thriller that goes in places you genuinely do not expect, which is always fun to see.

And it was, you know, an independent film. and one of the things that we're trying to do

through this year podcast is to shine a light on independent films these days during the

pandemic and find ways to help audiences and filmmakers connect so i hope you check it out and

consider renting it or streaming it on demand or any of the places that you go to find movies because the madness inside me is out and could definitely use your support.

We had a really good Q&A with Matthew about his creative process and what it took to get this film in the can, especially a very interesting conversation about editing, I got to say, in which there was something

on one of his previous projects he did that I know you're going to enjoy hearing about because

he had an absolutely crazy idea that he executed to give himself some new ideas when he got stuck.

So you'll know what I'm talking about when you hear it.

But nonetheless, Matthew was very generous with his time and very forthcoming about his creative process. So I know you'll dig this episode.
