TWIN CITIES FILM FEST INTERVIEWS – JON HEDER & KENDALL GOLDBERG When Jeff Tried to Save the World The Twin Cities Film Fest does a fantastic job of bringing in A-list talent by having them showcase some of their smaller films that may not get noticed outside the festival circuit. We all remember Jon Heder from his goofy role in Napoleon Dynamite. It’s been fourteen years since the cult classic’s release, and he’s in a new movie call When Jeff Tried to Save the World. In it, he plays Jef who works at a small old-fashioned bowling alley. He finds out his boss is planningRead More →

IN CONVERSATION: THE FILMMAKERS BEHIND “AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL” with Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk In 2006, Vice President Al Gore made the documentary An Inconvenient Truth to shed light on the issue of global warming and the climate crisis at hand.
