Here is my full length interview with writer and director Christian Nilsson, the filmmaker behind the powerful new drama, WESTHAMPTON.

Years after a tragic accident forever altered the lives of his closest friends, filmmaker Tom Bell (played by Finn Wittrock) returns to his hometown to screen a semi-autobiographical film based on the incident. Forced to confront the people he hurt and a community that never forgave him, Tom embarks on an emotional search for redemption. WESTHAMPTON explores guilt, identity, forgiveness, and whether we can ever truly escape our past.

In our conversation, Christian shares the personal inspiration behind the film, its emotional core, his creative process, and the universal themes that make the story so deeply relatable.

**WESTHAMPTON is available now to purchase digitally on Apple TV from Obscured Releasing.**

Hello… “You complete me.” For this episode, we dive headfirst into ‘Jerry Maguire’, as Lauren Drake experiences the film for the very first time. From the iconic mission statement and unforgettable one liners to the messy relationships, emotional gut punches, and behind the scenes stories that made this movie a classic; we break down everything that makes Jerry’s inspirational journey still hit decades later. We quote our favorite moments, react to absurd reviews, debate the romance, celebrate Tom Cruise at his (debatable) peak charisma, and ask the important question… did this movie secretly ruin all of our expectations for love, friendship, and careers or did it show us to take the risk to make it all worthwhile!? Tune in now and shout “SHOW ME THE PODCAST”!
