  • Hey, everyone!

    I'm thrilled to share another film festival interview with you. This time, I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Elijah Sullivan, the creative force behind The Hole Story, premiering at Slamdance 2025! This documentary explores a mysterious sixty-foot hole discovered on Mount Shasta and the local legends and community surrounding it. Elijah wears many hats, so you'll hear about his unique perspective as the director, writer, producer, editor, and camera operator!
