Dan Pastewka and Evan James Bochetto
Evan James Bochetto and Dan Pastewka, along with Brad Kula, are the creators of the comedy film Couples of Wife Carrying. Evan directed and was a co-writer of the film, while Dan is the producer. I play a Finnish wife-carrier Jarkko Karjalainen in the movie.
My apologies for the sound quality of the podcast. We had some sound issues, but you can definitely hear everything.
Couples of Wife Carrying has just been released to buy / rent in North America, so this was a great time for us to have a talk about the film.
We go through how the movie was made, from coming up with the idea, all the way to the distribution and marketing. We also get to know who Evan and Dan are.
A great talk about how films can be made with little money and lots of passion. Enjoy!
This discussion was also screened live at the film’s Facebook page. Here’s a link to the video:
