Art House | A Love Story Behind the Camera

Season 1, Episode 5

June 26, 2020  |  John G. McGrath  |  1 min read

The latest episode of “Art House” is a true family affair.

Misti Boland and Jeremy Osbern met on a movie set on Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence, Kansas. They were married a few years later.

Since then, they have become heavy hitters in the Kansas City and Lawrence film scene, and regulars at the Sundance and Slamdance film festivals.

In this episode, they discuss how they got their start under the tutelage of Kevin Willmott and Matt Jacobson at the University of Kansas, their recent work — including Daytime Emmy nominations — and what the future holds. There’s even a bit of a cliffhanger, whether their young son will make an appearance on the show.
