Speak 2025 Wisconsin Film Festival with Josiah Wampfler – Ton Madison

A collaborative episode with OCA Media, after he had recovered from Festival fatigue after the 27th annual event, which took place from April 3 to April 10.

The comedown after the Wisconsin Film Festival can hit hard. Some of us may have to take a few days off to collect your thoughts and write down some rousing notes or experience rankings. On the other hand, others may want to continue to watch the marathon view of the annual event in April and return directly to the theater. However, one thing is universal: a desire for discussion.

Instead of a compilatory play-by-play diary or a personal essay on the Wisconsin film festival approaches, which we have recorded in our reporting in various forms in recent years, I wanted to try out something else for the 27th annual issue this year, in the spirit of our collaborations in the Four Podcast with four star videos. I turned to the programming manager at OCA Media, Josiah Wampfler, who organizes the Solo film segment Two tickets please!To see if he would be interested in a cooperative processing in his special framework. He accepted friendly.

OCA Media is a local non -profit public access station that serves the area of ​​Oregon, Wisconsin. Wampfler was at the station and hosting Two tickets please! Since the beginning of 2021, several prizes at the Best of the Midwest Media Fest by Wisconsin Community Media. The recurring segment of the OCA Media Library and the recurring segment of Wampfler are accessible on the station and spectrum and TDS channels on the YouTube page.

Author and film employee Sara Batkie moved to Wampfler and me Ton Madison'S Coworking Space on Friday, April 18, with technical support from OCA media manager Paul Zwicker to record this 39-minute segment. We talked about our history to visit the Wisconsin Film Festival, Logistics of the 2025 Edition (and voluntarily to get us), which may have let films down and what we have inspired or ripe for discussions.

Although we did not try to carry out a tedious transcription with some of our previous podcasts, let us know whether this accessibility and convenience is something that you want to see again with contributions with audio or video. I recognize that YouTube-integrated “subtitles/final images” and automatic generation transcript tools have their mistakes or questionable components, but these can serve as rudimentary substitutions.

If you prefer a only audio version of this discussion, Wampfler kindly provided a WAV file that I uploaded to Ton Madison's soundcloud below.
