KJ Rothweiler is a New York City-based filmmaker, podcaster, and musician. Nearly three years ago, KJ did an anonymous Perfectly Imperfect feature (#59) as “Ion 2” with Curtis Everett Pawley as “Ion 1,” the two not-yet-revealed hosts of the influential podcast The Ion Pack. In 2016, KJ and longtime collaborator Rebekah Sherman-Myntti co-founded the independent entertainment company Simone Films where they produce films + shows like Alexi Wasser's Messy, Rebekah’s show TOMORROW!, and Peter Vack’s latest feature www.Rachelormont.com. They also host the Simone Actors Studio for up and coming talent with teachers such as Michael Imperioli. KJ and Rebekah just released the highly anticipated Salamander Days, their co-directed first feature, which debuted to sold out screenings in Los Angeles and New York City. The quiet & atmospheric film explores loss, friendship, and grief, through the hazy lens of memory, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I walked out of the theater. Lucky for us, KJ is here, on his birthday (!), to tell us what he's been into.
