Happy Friday, Everyone!

Should I apologize for this 2 1/2 hour episode? Probably, but I refuse to do so because Andy Cochrane has gone from the guy who sent a random email to Sherman Oaks Film Festival with the subject, “VR Submissions,” in August of 2023 to a guy I consider my friend. Besides our many shared interests, the day I went to his studio and met Andy in person to see this VR thing, instead of my just putting on a headset we went off on a tangent about the solar panels that had just been added to my home and… the rest is (personal) history.
With a LOT of help from Andy we added a new category to the festivals called “Immersive Short – AR/VR/MR/360” and this cutting edge format has been a huge hit at the festivals since we introduced them at Film Invasion Los Angeles in June of 2024. Andy’s Immersive Short “The Carrier” played at both FI-LA and Sherman Oaks Festival to rave reviews.

There is a lot more to Andy than just immersive video and that’s why this podcast is so dang long. Listen to it, enjoy the nerdy chatter, and make sure to visit Andrew-cochrane.com and Loud-movies.com
to see the awesome things that Andy does on a regular basis.
