Episode 103 - Amos Crawley (Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?)

Episode 102 - Joe Burke (Burt, Four Dogs)

Joe Burke is the writer/director of Burt (2025), starring Oliver Cooper and Burt Berger. Shot on a $7,000 budget in just 7 days with a 3-person crew, the story follows Burt, a 69-year old street musician living with Parkinson’s, and Sammy, a wayward young man from New York who shows up with the bombshell news that he is Burt’s long lost son.

The film premiered at Cinequest in San Jose to critical acclaim including the award for Best Narrative Feature: Comedy. It later won Best Picture and Best Acting Ensemble awards at the Phoenix Film Festival. On May 3rd, it had its LA premiere at the Fine Arts theater in Beverly Hills, which drew a packed crowd. Executive Producer David Gordon Green moderated a panel that consisted of Burt, Steven Levy, Oliver, composer Tim Rutili and other cast/crew. 

Joe Burke has also made a plethora of short films that can be found on his YouTube channel. One of the shorts, Another Cancer Movie (2013), features Burt Berger in a supporting role. Fast forward to Burt (2025) - Burke and Cooper crafted a film loosely based on Burt’s real life, shining a light and keeping the focus on Burt’s incredible character and not his diagnosis. The decision was made to portray the film in black and white, which adds great depth to the film’s already heavy emotional value.

Stay tuned for upcoming screening announcements, including another LA showing in June! For more info, visit Burtthemovie.com for up-to-date news.

Episode 101 - Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County)

Francis Galluppi is the writer/director of The Last Stop in Yuma County (2024). After years of touring in various punk bands and an accident that led to a broken wrist, Francis decided it was time for a career shift. During a six month healing process, he picked up his camera and began shooting videos around the house with his wife. Almost immediately, he fell in love with the creative process and started to gather his friends to make his first short film, High Desert Hell (2019). Utilizing locations from local sources and keeping budget costs to a minimum, he completed his film for around $1,000. After this first successful outing that was on a learn-as-you-go basis and with a new script penned, Francis packed his gear and headed to Oregon to shoot his second short, The Gemini Project (2020).

While neither of the shorts gathered major industry attention, they certainly sparked some interest. After a lengthy process of optioning and failing to gather necessary funds, a house was sold in favor of the budget for The Last Stop in Yuma County (2024). Before long, a stacked cast of genre-film crowd favorites were attached to the project including Jim Cummings (Thunder Road, The Wolf of Snow Hollow), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond), Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes, Doctor Sleep), Sam Huntington (Detroit Rock City, Not Another Teen Movie), Jocelin Donahue (The House of the Devil, Insidious: Chapter 2) and Richard Brake (Mandy, Batman Begins).

The film premiered to a packed audience at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas and received rave reviews from moviegoers. Sam Raimi was so impressed with the film that he hand selected Francis to direct the latter of two upcoming Evil Dead installments. Aside from all the film work, he has also shot a handful of music videos for indie rock band, Mt. Joy including "Strangers", "Bathroom Light" and "Evergreen". He's also an avid collector of physical media and screen-used movie props including a piece of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) house. 

Stay tuned for many exciting updates on his Evil Dead installment and pick up The Last Stop in Yuma County (2024), available on blu ray and streaming everywhere now!
