610. Chloe Schildhause “Pool House”

A Wonderful Wednesday to You All! Chloe Schieldhause won me over pretty quickly. The first time I saw the short film “Pool House” as a member of the Film Invasion Los Angeles jury, I thought, “This HAS to be the film that launches the festival.” And it worked out! The first film in the first block of 2025 was Chloe Schieldhause’s “Pool House,” a surreal, original, imaginatively dark comedy that took home the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Originality, Comedy. As you might imagine, I was pretty eager to learn more about Chloe. It’s not every day that you meet someone who writes, produces and stars in a completely unique comedy that blows your mind. Here’s the blogline, “A horror novelist, with the help of a ghost hunter, brings back the spirit of a ghost who is hell bent on staying on Earth for socialization.” That description doesn’t even scratch the surface, to be honest. It was a ton of fun to record this podcast. I hope you enjoy it, too!
