TwoOhSix Podcast Interviews for #LAAPFF: Aimee Long, Haven Everly, and Patricio Ginelsa

One of my favorite parts of covering films festivals is having the opportunity to speak with filmmakers from all over the world. The conversations are always entertaining and I have learned so much from speaking with directors, producers, and actors who are so passionate and knowledgeable about their craft. The 2021 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival was no exception as I was able to set up interviews with three amazing individuals and now here are the results of those conversations.
