About this episode

Mike Southerly discusses his indie film 'Lost with You', exploring themes of connection amidst differing opinions.

Lost with You, starring Disney Channel regular, Jake Short and star of All American, Madison Shamoun. The film is about two people of opposing viewpoints finding one another despite having differing opinions on almost everything. I think given the crazy times we're living in, this is a vibe that audiences are looking for. The film won Best Indie Film at the Los Angeles Film Awards late last year and just got a ridiculously rave review from Film Threat. Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Mike Southerly, the film was accomplishment in true guerilla filmmaker style without pulling a single permit despite filming at the Griffith Observatory, the Santa Monica Pier, and the Hollywood sign, among other iconic Los Angeles locales. It's a pretty great story how he was able to get this one into the end zone for under $200K.
