In today's episode, I interview Jake Wachtel, whose film "The Sentry" recently screened at SXSW London, Raindance, and the Palm Springs International ShortFest.

Listen to hear about the idea for the film that came from wanting to get to know one of the anonymous henchmen from an action film like James Bond, the challenges of filming in the former residence of a king, and how visual effects and sound combined to create a ghostly character.
