  • Summary

  • In this episode I talk with director Andrew Kightlinger. Andrew's new film "Lost on a Mountain in Maine" is set to release on November 1st, and I can't wait to dive into the story behind this heartwarming family adventure. Andrew has an impressive background in filmmaking, with credits that include the award-winning short "Destroyer" and the drama "Tater Tot and Patton." But what really drew me to this project is the film's themes of faith, family, and perseverance - values that are so important to me and the Sisterhood community. I'm excited to learn more about Andrew's creative process and why he felt this story needed to be told. Let's get started! Questions I asked: · Why should people go to the movies? What drew you to this story and movie, and why are you excited about it? · What role does faith play in this story? · Was there anything challenging about this? · Why should people go see this movie? · Can you tell the audience about the interesting audition process for this film? · Did you have any challenges in making the movie? · Did Sylvester Stallone, whose production company is behind the film, visit the set? Topics Discussed: · Filmmaking · Childhood · Adventure · Family · Faith · Perseverance · Audition · Filming · Challenges · Stallone Quotes from the show: · "I'm excited because, you know, I'm, first off, I'm, you know, filmmaker, and being an artist isn't easy, and it's pretty amazing to have a movie opening up nationwide across the country." · "I was really interested in this idea of a kid alone in the woods, barefoot, because I related to my own childhood experiences." · "I always told the crew when we're making this movie, this is ultimately a movie about a boy who just wants a hug from his dad." · "This film is about when you're up against the odds. What do you pull from? And sometimes you pull from your love of family. · You pull from your own inner fortitude, whatever. But oftentimes you need something higher than yourself, and that can be your faith, that can be God, that can be whatever it is that you cling on to." · I'm a long distance runner. I do like, 50 Ks, and I've done 100k yet. But I, you know, I run 10 miles at least once a week, so I have the endurance already built up on me." · We even climbed the mountain again after the making of the movie to get asphalt footage of the storm on the mountain.
