On this episode of The Roundtable with Robert Bannon, we’re diving into the world of indie filmmaking with the team behind the bold and unforgettable new feature, Iconic. Joining Robert are three creative forces who brought this film to life: star Alyssa Anthony, writer-director Matthew Freiheit, and producer/makeup artist Carisa Arellano. From its unique visual style to its emotionally raw performances, Iconic is quickly becoming a must-watch—and today, we’re getting the behind-the-scenes scoop on its creation, inspiration, and impact.
The conversation covers everything from building layered characters and navigating the challenges of independent production, to the powerful themes at the heart of the film. Alyssa shares her journey stepping into a role that demanded both vulnerability and strength, Matthew reflects on the storytelling process and the message he hopes resonates with audiences, and Carisa discusses the artistry behind the film’s signature look. It’s a celebration of collaboration, risk-taking, and the power of storytelling—only on The Roundtable with Robert Bannon.
