Speaker 1: at Genesis gooldr dot com. Excited to visit with a
Speaker 1: couple more people today about the Vermilion Vortex Film Festival.
Speaker 1: We had a chance earlier to talk with Casey and
Speaker 1: with Sam. There are some local folks who are here
Speaker 1: helping to put the event together. Now I've got a
Speaker 1: couple of additional people that I'm going to talk to
Speaker 1: here in a moment. I'm going to visit with Anthony Cousins.
Speaker 1: He's the director of Frogman that's going to air tomorrow.
Speaker 1: You'll be able to see that film tomorrow night at
Speaker 1: the film Festival. But coming up tonight you'll be able
Speaker 1: to see Lost on a Mountain in Maine. And we've
Speaker 1: got the director, Andrew Kitlinger joining us right now. Tell
Speaker 1: me a little bit about the movie.
Speaker 3: It's a true story about a twelve year old boys
Speaker 3: in nineteen thirty nine who gets lost in the wilderness
Speaker 3: of northern Maine and crossed across over almost one hundred
Speaker 3: miles of for ten days and survives. And the movie
Speaker 3: is about his ordeal and then his family desperately trying
Speaker 3: to find him. And I think, you know the coolest
Speaker 3: thing is that the movie's produced by Silvester Stallone. So
Speaker 3: it's got this fun, sort of underdog feel to it.
Speaker 2: I love that. And it's based on a true story.
Speaker 3: Ed.
Speaker 1: It'll be shown tonight at the Coyote Twin Theater in Vermilion,
Speaker 1: and afterwards there's a Q and A with the director.
Speaker 3: That's you, that's me, that's right, okay, And I've been
Speaker 3: told that I give a good Q and a.
Speaker 2: I think that's awesome.
Speaker 1: And you get to watch the film with the guy
Speaker 1: that made the film and then ask him questions.
Speaker 2: Do you get to do this quite a bit?
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, this movie comes down in theaters across the
Speaker 3: country on November first, and so we are ramping up
Speaker 3: right now a marketing campaign essentially across the country where
Speaker 3: I'm going to travel around and do a lot of
Speaker 3: these little events like this, and you know, Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: New York. Yeah, and we did. We did a premiere
Speaker 3: in Maine in July, which is really fun to give
Speaker 3: you the movie where you know where this true story
Speaker 3: took place. But but yeah, the South Dakota is especially
Speaker 3: important for me and special because I was raised in
Speaker 3: Peer and I went to Augustana for college, so I'm
Speaker 3: a South Dakota guy.
Speaker 1: Well, we were excited to have you in Vermillion tonight again.
Speaker 1: The movie is going to be at seven pm. Lost
Speaker 1: on a Mountain in Maine, and it's produced by Sylvester Stallone.
Speaker 1: How in the world did you guys connect on this?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, flies, I call him Sly like I
Speaker 3: know him, you know, but he's like, we're the Toms,
Speaker 3: you know. Silvester Stallone's brand is, you know, inspirational underdog stories,
Speaker 3: you know, all going all the way back to Rocky right,
Speaker 3: the movie they made him famous, and he had never
Speaker 3: done a movie about a kid before, like a kid underdog. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's why his company, his company took the song, you know,
Speaker 3: and they usually they do. They still do the Rambos
Speaker 3: and the Rockies and the Tulsa King. You know, it
Speaker 3: is really big, but they hadn't really done a family film.
Speaker 3: And I got this job the old school way. I
Speaker 3: interviewed for it against you know, probably ten other directors,
Speaker 3: and it was a it was about a three month
Speaker 3: long interview process where I had to hitch to the
Speaker 3: company my vision of the film and how I was
Speaker 3: going to execute it and all that. That interview process
Speaker 3: actually culminated on my fourth interview with being flown out
Speaker 3: to northern Maine and hiking the mountain where this movie
Speaker 3: took place. Wow, and then that mountain is considered the
Speaker 3: hardest day hike in America. So you think like you'd
Speaker 3: think like Blackout Peak, for examples are and yeah, this
Speaker 3: is like Blackout. This is like the final that final
Speaker 3: push of Blackout Peak where it's almost going straight up,
Speaker 3: you know, to kind of really lift your knees. It's
Speaker 3: that for probably six hours one way.
Speaker 2: Oh my good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so that was my final interview. I don't
Speaker 3: think if i'd have made it to the top, I
Speaker 3: would have got the job.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm really glad that you got the job, and
Speaker 1: I'm also glad that you're going to be in Vermilion
Speaker 1: tonight for the Vermilion Vortex Film Festival. Your movie kind
Speaker 1: of kicks off the whole weekend, so we're excited for tonight.
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking the time to chat with me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And we're going to switch.
Speaker 1: To another phone line right now. We've got Anthony Cousins
Speaker 1: joining us now. His film is going to be tomorrow
Speaker 1: at the Vermilion Vortex Film Festival.
Speaker 2: Frogman. Tell me a little bit about your movie, sir.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Frogman plays tomorrow night. It's a found footage horror movie,
Speaker 4: kind of in the zane of blair Witch. It's instead
Speaker 4: of chasing a witch through the woodsard chasing a giant frog.
Speaker 4: But unlike blair Witch, you do see the giant frog
Speaker 4: in a whole lot more. There's a lot of weird
Speaker 4: stuff going on.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Is this based on a true story?
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny to say that it's sort of
Speaker 4: is it really? Well? There is actually Loveland Frogman in Loveland,
Speaker 4: Ohio is a real legend that's kind of like their
Speaker 4: local Bigfoot. There's sightings they go back to nineteen fifty
Speaker 4: five and as recently as a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: They hold a Frogman Festival every year in tron Nice.
Speaker 4: You know, that's the basis of the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Now, are you going to be at things tonight and
Speaker 1: all day tomorrow and all day Sunday. Are you just
Speaker 1: there for your thing tomorrow night.
Speaker 4: I'm just getting into town on Saturday. I'll see all
