If you missed it last week, we had the opportunity to talk with the filmmakers behind “Your Attention Please,” so be sure to check that one out.
For this episode, we are joined by the new Marketing Director at Milwaukee Film, Milan Zori, whose work you might also be familiar with as the legendary Milwaukee illustrator Dwellephant, and who is a friend of The Recombobulation Area (and a fellow Milwaukee Bucks superfan).
We talked about what’s unique about this year’s festival, the amazing film community that exists in Milwaukee, how the festival has grown over the years, and much more (including, of course, our beloved Milwaukee Bucks).
