CHICAGO – HollywoodChicago.com critic Matt Fagerholm will chat about the latest independent films on Chicago’s Vocalo 89.5 station from 9am to 9:30am on Friday, September 28th.

The Vocalo program will include excerpts from Matt’s podcast interview with “Wise Kids” star Allison Torem, who received a Jeff Award nomination for her performance in David Schwimmer’s 2010 stage production of “Trust.” The entirety of the podcast interview will be published this evening on Matt’s independent film blog, Indie Outlook. The site includes in-depth discussions with a wide variety of filmmakers, including Nathan Adloff (“Nate & Margaret”), Lawrence Michael Levine (“Gabi on the Roof in July”) and Todd Looby (“Be Good”). There are also some new exclusive interviews with cult icon Juliette Danielle, best known as Lisa in Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room,” and actor/musician Jeremy Blackman, who famously played the role of child prodigy Stanley Spector in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia.”
