Welcome to an all-new Films for the Void, Bonus Episode #19! In this episode, Landon interviews Karsten Runquist - a Chicago-based filmmaker and YouTuber who, for the better part of a decade has been following his dreams in the world of film. Whether it’s recapping the films he’s watched on a monthly basis, tiering aspects of the filmgoing experience, or providing perspective in short form essays, his self-titled YouTube channel has captivated the eyes and minds of nearly 600K subscribers. The same can be said for his Letterboxd, as one of the site’s most recognizable users, sitting at 133K followers. However, his latest venture stems to his most recent short film, Dirtbag, which takes the anxiety of inevitable responsibility and combines it with the offbeat humor of auteurs like Wes Anderson and Miranda July. You can currently stream Dirtbag for free on Vimeo.
Landon and Karsten talk about growing up in Minnesota, developing an interest in making movies, building a following on Letterboxd, fine tuning his craft on YouTube, and his thoughts on even more film studio logos - all on the latest episode of Films for the Void!
