Welcome to the seventh episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.


On this episode, we are delighted to chat with a friend of Adam's, Chris Geier. Chris is a fan/friend of the podcast. He is a former journalist and an author. His novella Silt is available to purchase and read. It can be found on his publisher's website Alternating Current Press. The plot of Silt is: \"Cincinnati, 1856. German immigrant Werner Bosenbach has a part-time job collecting shady debts and a full-time drinking habit. When he is hired by a wealthy widow to hunt down those responsible for her husband’s death, Werner is drawn deep into a city bursting with corruption, nativism, and long-simmering racial tension. From violent dock workers and crooked marshals, to operators of the underground railroad and the slave hunters they oppose, Werner must navigate the dangers and divisions of his adopted home to find some answers and, with any luck, some lager.\" Fans of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Cormac McCarthy should check it out.


We really enjoyed having Chris Geier on the podcast and talking to him about the four favourite films of his that he picked. If you haven't seen them, you should check them out. It was a very fun conversation.


Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US, Finland & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV for example. You can read a review about the film on Collider.
