Stationed At Home is a film about looking up, both literally and metaphorically — a reminder that even in solitude, connection and wonder are never too far away.

In this episode of the Suspenders Unbuttoned podcast, Sarah and Julie welcome award-winning filmmaker Daniel V. Masciari to discuss his debut feature film, 'Stationed at Home.' Daniel shares the inspiration behind the film, the artistic choice to shoot in black and white, and the themes of finding meaning in everyday moments.

"Stationed At Home is one of the most beautiful independent films I’ve seen in a long time… If you’re looking for a holiday movie that isn’t aggressively “holiday,” this is a perfect pick. It doesn’t rely on Christmas cheer, but taps into something more honest: that winter can be lonely, that people crave connection and that sometimes strangers can show up in your life at exactly the right time.”

In this episode, we sit down with director Daniel Masciari, whose debut feature film Stationed at Home is now available to rent or buy on Prime Video, Apple TV, and other major platforms. We talk about Daniel’s journey from concept to completion, the creative challenges of independent filmmaking, and the real-life themes that inspired Stationed at Home.
