The Staffa Corner
Greg Staffa created The Staffa Corner Podcast to provide listeners with a Staffatarian look at entertainment and life. Focusing on honest conversation, Staffa’s podcast is an appreciation of those he finds interesting in and out of television and film.The journey taken by Staffa in the industry started more than 8 years ago writing for Your Entertainment Corner. Motivated by the desire to become more knowledgeable in his field, he leveraged his learned and acquired knowledge and skills and earned himself the opportunity to interview celebrities such as Pierce Brosnan, Ethan Hawke, Martin Freeman and Seth Rogan among others. Setting up his own in home studio, Staffa is branching out into podcasting while continuing to write for YEC. An unsung hero recognized by The St. Cloud Times in 2013, and a Staffatarian to the core, Staffa spent several months in 2010 on a 48-state road trip transforming the perception of homelessness. During this time, he handed out over 1,000 pairs of socks and hundreds of cups of coffee to the homeless, before he finally settling down in St Cloud Minnesota. By July 2020 Staffa’s journey came full circle having bought a home. To his credit, he still finds time to help others. Staffa is able to build and maintain incredible working relationships, an attribute that has contributed greatly to his success. Consequently, actors, writers and directors among other TV/film stars are always open to guest. He has covered red carpet premieres for films like Stuber and Booksmart among other star studded TV premieres.

The Staffa Corner Podcast, Ep. 26 - Filmmaker Rich Ronat & Actress Laura Vale Talk About Their Film CULPRIT
Director Rich Ronat and actress Laura Vale joined me on the latest episode of The Staffa Corner Podcast to discuss their new film, Culprit.
The psychological thriller marks Ronat's directorial debut, with Vale in a starring role. We explored independent filmmaking and strategies for competing with big-budget productions in their conversation. Wanting to maintain "creative purity," the two formed Good Rebel Pictures with Culprit being their first film. We also delved into the delicate balance of being a producer while simultaneously directing and acting.
Amidst a landscape where A-list actor-driven films face challenges, it's inspiring to hear their unwavering passion for indie films that prioritize storytelling, performance, and writing. This dedication to the art of filmmaking is what sets independent filmmakers apart and resonates with audiences who appreciate the craft.
Culprit, a culmination of their passion and dedication, recently had its much-anticipated premiere at the Dances with Films festival in Los Angeles. The film's debut was a momentous occasion, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their filmmaking journey.
