Episode 7 of Filmmaker of the Week with Oliver Rogers:

You can check out our review of his most recent short film Toast here. For a small snippet:

“Do not watch this before breakfast because there will be only one thing you will want to treat yourself to afterwards. Toast is an enjoyable film that chronicles one mans endless quest to get himself a nice bit of a toast that just keeps going wrong. While I feel the concept overstays its welcome just a bit there is still fun to be had with this short.
Watching the piece I feel like it could have been trimmed down just a little bit in length as the pacing slows to a bit of a crawl right at when our protagonist as portrayed by Paul Cooper tries to conjure up some toast in his fire pit. I also feel like a bigger showcase of his toaster being defective could have pulled me in quicker to the plight, as it didn’t all seem to click together until after looking back on the film again. I thought originally, he just made the mistake of leaving the toast in too long.”
