Take 5! Mini-interviews with B-more filmmakers!

Mark and I thought it would be fun to interview a bunch of local filmmakers, ask them all the same 5 questions, and post them up here on a regular basis. We love kitsch and cheese around here (at least I do) so we're calling it Take 5! Filmmaker Joanna Raczynska agreed to be our first victim. Thanks Joanna! Check out her interview below and then come on down to The Patterson on Feb 29 to see her films along with her buddies in Termite TV! And keep an eye on the blog for more interviews!
