Buffalo You Up Podcast - Buffalo Dreams - Widow's Point with Willow Anwar and Craig Sheffer (08/24/19)

The Buffalo You Up Podcast

This episode is part of a long special series where The Buffalo You Up Podcast was invited to interview the film makers, actors, and the crew that all have work that they can show at The Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival. This is not part of season 1 or season 2. This is just a special treat for all of you listeners out there.

This was the first year that The Buffalo You Up Podcast crew has been so actively involved with The Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival. We had no idea what to expect. We didn't know how many people would be interested in being interviewed, but to our surprise everyone was thrilled that they could come on our podcast, nobody said no to us. They've all been super patient, understanding and we've told them it would only be a few minutes because we did these interviews during intermission of films. Somehow we pulled it off.

Going off of that, you really have no idea what to expect when you get to The Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival. That's especially true with this episode. For our first guest, we were extremely lucky that we had Craig Sheffer's daughter Willow Anwar be our first guest for this episode. She is one of the coolest, most down to earth people we've met. Super friendly and just really high spirits were radiating from her. She was super enthusiastic to be on our show, which we loved. It brought our spirits way up. And, we hope we can get her on in a future episode if she comes again to The Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival. She plays the widow in Widow's Point and she terrified us! She rocked the role. She is an extreme talent that will not go unnoticed and this was her first big role!

The second guest that we had on was Craig Sheffer. Craig is a legend. He has been killing it in the acting world for a very long time. We were so incredibly honored and lucky that he agreed to be on our podcast. Mostly because his daughter told him it'd be a great idea. Thank you Willow! Craig plays Thomas Livingston in Widow's Point. The basic rundown of his character is he is a writer who wants to spend a weekend in the most cursed place he could think of. He lands himself locked in a lighthouse for a weekend, and we're not going to give away spoilers so you just have to watch this film for yourself to see what happens. All we'll say is it's an ending you definitely won't expect. The film is also based off the book with the same name. We hope you enjoy this episode.
