Major Oscar Changes & The Vast Of Night w. Andrew Patterson

What a show we have this week. Andrew Patterson's feature directorial debut The Vast of Night took the whole ReelBlend crew by storm, and we are delighted to share with you an extended, 45 minute conversation we had with him. He dives into some of the logistical challenges of pulling off a period sci-fi film on an small indie budget, we discuss some of the film's themes on underrepresented voices in the 1950s being heard and how that plays with with films plot, and what might possibly come next.

The news this week is equally exciting as theatrical releases continue to shift, including Tenet giving way and setting a new July 31st release date. The Academy Awards are also undergoing significant changes with next year's broadcast being pushed back until late April, and eligibility being extended to films released through February.
