Episode 120 - Stationed at Home
In this episode, Nathan kicks things off with a quick update on the release schedule for the rest of 2025 and a sneak peek at what’s coming to the podcast in 2026—then dives into a conversation with writer-director Daniel V. Masciari about his hauntingly tender feature Stationed at Home.
Nathan and Daniel dig into the film’s gently magical mood, its fascination with strangers colliding in the cold and the way Stationed at Home finds wonder in mundane moments. Daniel shares how the movie grew from a single bus-stop image into a fully realized feature, why Christmas Eve and the International Space Station became key to its tone and how he worked with his cast and cinematographer to create performances and images that feel fully lived-in.
If you’re drawn to offbeat holiday-adjacent stories, character-driven night movies or modern indies that believe there’s still real magic in human connection, this is a conversation worth tuning into and a film you’ll want to seek out on your favorite digital platform.
