As an adjunct to Master Class: Microbudget Filmmaking with  Blake Eckard and Kristian Day, SLIFF offers free access to Day's documentary short "Somewhere Between New York and LA" (U.S., 2020), which chronicles Eckard's career. Eckard has written and directed six feature films in his hometown of Stanberry, Mo. (population 1,186), but other than a short distribution deal in Canada and a few festival screenings, his movies have largely (and unfairly) gone unseen.
