In this episode of the WOLF Media Festival Podcast, we sit down with longtime friends and co-directors Brandon LaSan and Benjamin Fargen to talk about their real-life journey from childhood pals to indie filmmakers. While their film I Remember Everything sets the stage, this conversation is all about the behind-the-scenes hustle: quitting day jobs, trusting your gut, and making a movie with heart in your hometown. Brandon and Ben reflect on growing up in the Sierra Foothills, what brought them back together after all these years, and how taking a leap of faith turned a decades-long friendship into a creative partnership. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker or just love a good origin story, this one's full of honesty, humor, and inspiration.
