Episode 116 | Sheridan O'Donnell (filmmaker) returns to the podcast! In this episode, we discuss the exciting theatrical release of Sheridan's first feature film, Little Brother, and how retinitis pigmentosa leaves its fingerprints on his filmmaking.
Gravitas Ventures is set to release LITTLE BROTHER in-theaters on September 17th, 2024.
LITTLE BROTHER stars Daniel Diemer (UNDER THE BRIDGE), Phillip Ettinger (FIRST REFORMED), and Academy Award-winner J.K. Simmons (WHIPLASH) in the heartfelt and highly personal debut feature from the Korean-American writer, director, and low-vision disability advocate Sheridan O’Donnell. Following his friend’s death by suicide, O’Donnell wrote the film in remembrance to "capture their warmth and humor, and to attempt to understand their mental health journey, all of which I hope deeply connects with viewers.”
Scoring the Audience Award at the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival, LITTLE BROTHER begins after Pete (Ettinger) attempts suicide, pushing his overbearing father Warren (Simmons) to recruit his little brother Jake (Diemer) to drive Pete from Albuquerque to Seattle for a family intervention. The brothers aren’t just oil and water; they’re fire and gasoline—and they’re both crammed inside a busted-up van for 1,400 miles with nowhere to hide. As they cross the American West, the two struggle to reconcile their past and forge a new bond.

Episode 113 | Lance discusses his visit to the Enchanted Hills Camp! Owned and managed by the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired San Francisco, the Enchanted Hills Camp and Retreat has been serving blind children, teens, adults, deaf-blind individuals, seniors, and families of the blind since 1950. Enchanted Hills has provided valuable opportunities for recreation in a fun, challenging, and accessible way. Located on 311 scenic acres on Mt. Veeder, Enchanted Hills is just 10 miles west of Napa, California.
In this episode, Lance sits down in person with Jerry Kuns, a legend both at the camp and in the San Francisco Bay Area. Jerry recounts his early experiences at Enchanted Hills, which date back to 1956, and discusses how the camp has retained much of its original character while benefiting from constant structural improvements. He also graciously shares some jokes and personal advice on living a full life with blindness.
After Jerry's interview, you'll get a chance to hear from some of the campers themselves! As part of an interactive podcasting activity that Lance hosted with teenage campers, you’ll hear two bonus interviews featuring groups of campers interviewing each other as they try out podcasting for the first time!

In this very special episode, my wife Natalie makes her first appearance on the podcast! Natalie and I have a transparent conversation with our new friends, Andy & Angela Ogg.

I discuss the potential harmful side effects of erectile dysfunction medication for men living with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP).

On the topic of inclusive language, I discuss recent controversies involving Kamala Harris, Beyonce, and Matt Walsh. I also answer some amazing audience questions!
