Festival Interview: T.J. Sandella, Jad Adkins, & Jesse Howland
Manage episode 479977032 series 3597982
As promised, the final episode of festival month is our interview with three of the people responsible for bringing the inspiring independent film “Battersea” to life. T.J. Sandella & Jad Adkins wrote, directed, and produced the film together, it being the culmination of over ten years of writing and dreaming for the long-time friends. Battersea is their first feature film. Jesse Howland, who hails from our very own North Carolina, plays the male lead in the film - Les. He has been active in LA since he graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 2016, appearing in both tv and film.
A big shoutout to the RiverRun International Film Festival for bringing amazing films like this one to Winston Salem!
