Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there’s that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.
Krishna Smitha is an actress-producer based in Los Angeles working in television, film and theatre. Most recently she can be seen guest starring on NCIS:LA, Platonic, and The Afterparty. She is a company member at the Road Theatre where she helps produce the Summer Playwrights Festival. Krishna loves creating all sorts of stuff with other artists, whether it be films, theatre, or podcasts! www.KrishnaSmitha.com
