Following Films Podcast: Joshua Caldwell on Directing Sinqua Walls and Brian Cox in MENDING THE LINE


Welcome to another episode of The Following Films Podcast! I'm your host, Chris Maynard and today I’m joined by director Joshua Caldwell to discuss his latest film, MENDING THE LINE.

In the film, a wounded veteran (played by Sinqua Walls) returns to the States still carrying the demons of war, hauntingly disturbed by the everyday expectations of friendships and love interests. While in Livingston, Montana, he meets Ike (played by Brian Cox), a surly, headstrong fly-fisherman more than twice his age, and Lucy (Mattfeld), a talented photographer turned librarian who reads aloud to veterans, both damaged in their own way. While getting treatment for his wounds, both physical and psychological, we follow a man who wants only to re-enlist, to have something to die for. But the real challenge is finding something to live for.

But before we dive into our conversation with Josh,, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Bookmans.

2023 Director : Jackson Publick Starring : Doc Hammer, James Urbaniak, Michael Sinterniklaas, Chris McCulloch, Clancy Brown, and JK Simmons  The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart is an absolute triumph that brilliantly continues the story of the beloved animated series. As a long-time fan, I couldn't be more thrilled with this new movie, which picks up right where season 7 finale left off. Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has delivered a truly special piece of animation that had me from start to finish. While the plot for the film is about what you'd expect from a direct to home video feature based on an animated series, there is something in the way all the pieces come together that is utterly compelling, making it impossible to look away. The story is well-crafted and the return of an imposing evil from the past adds a layer of depth and intensity that fans will appreciate. The voice talents in The Venture Bros. have always been top-notch, and R
