Episode 77

Producer/Director Julia Marchese Goes from Out of Print to Adapting Stephen King

In 2001, Julia Marchese moved from Las Vegas to Los Angeles with the hopes of being an actress. Over a decade later, working at the New Beverly Theater revival house - as well as the phasing out of 35mm prints of films - inspired her to produce and direct the acclaimed documentary Out of Print, and she has since gone on to pursue other passion projects, such as hosting two podcasts and adapting one of Stephen King's short stories as one of his "Dollar Babies."

So much was discussed during this episode, including her time working at the New Beverly, programming different double features, working with the various directors and actors that took part in Out of Print, and much more!
