About

Welcome back to another episode of Between Two Pints! Today, Rob sits down with Dom Cutrupi, director of the prophetic and genre-blending feature Lola Dust, as well as Residents of Arcadia. Dom is also the author behind the dark fantasy series beginning with The Abyss of the Lumber Witch.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about:

His early career working at Vatican TV

Making movies during the pandemic

How Lola Dust accidentally predicted the rise of generative AI

Collaborating with Olivier and Vancouver’s musical theatre scene

His love of sci-fi, cyberpunk, and historical horror

And the deep creative process behind his novels and indie filmmaking

Whether you’re a writer, director, or just love stories, this is a must-watch!
