Brad Bischoff returns to discuss his debut feature, GRASSHOPPERS, filmed near where both of us grew up, in suburban Illinois.GRASSHOPPERS tells the story of an immigrant couple who decide to visit each one of their neighbor's homes while they are away for the holidays, drinking and discussing their future together. Featuring cameos from true Chicago film legends like Jack C. Newell (actor in MERCURY IN RETROGRADE and filmmaker) and Patrick McDonald (HollywoodChicago.com), we discuss the inspiration of the incredible and underseen Burt Lancaster film THE SWIMMER on Brad's work, as well as how COVID and the general stress of being an independent filmmaker led to some true hail mary fundraising attempts.
