Writer-director-actor Leah McKendrick joins GG Hawkins to break down the long road to getting Voicemails for Isabelle made after years in development. McKendrick traces her unconventional path from aspiring pop singer to independent filmmaker, studio screenwriter, and director, explaining how the frustration of watching projects stall pushed her to bet on herself and make Scrambled. She shares how directing that indie feature changed the way studios saw her, helped her reclaim Voicemails for Isabelle, and ultimately led to Netflix and Sony backing her as its director. The conversation also covers navigating Hollywood development, creating opportunities without permission, collaborating with cinematographer Julia Swain, protecting your creative voice, and applying an indie filmmaking mindset at the studio level. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Leah McKendrick discuss... How McKendrick went from pursuing a career as a pop singer to discovering filmmaking and directing at Chapman University Why writing and directing her own projects became a way to create opportunities instead of waiting for permission How Destroy the Alpha Gammas and M.F.A. helped establish her as a writer, producer, actor, and filmmaker The reality of working as a studio screenwriter and spending years writing projects that may never reach production The original inspiration for Voicemails for Isabelle and why McKendrick wrote the first draft in only a few weeks How the screenplay quickly sold, landed on the Black List, and attracted major talent before spending years in development Why repeated studio regime changes and canceled projects ultimately pushed McKendrick toward directing The breaking point that inspired her to write, finance, and direct Scrambled rather than wait for another studio green light Why filmmakers need to understand their own taste rather than believing a director must personally master every technical department How McKendrick's collaboration with cinematographer Julia Swain helped her translate emotion and instinct into a visual language Why directors need to communicate and reiterate their vision differently for every department head How Scrambled allowed McKendrick to demonstrate through her actions that she was no longer interested in being only a writer-for-hire Why McKendrick avoids reading reviews and instead focuses on whether she made the film she intended to make How the success of Scrambled changed the industry's perception of McKendrick as a director How Netflix approached Sony about Voicemails for Isabelle and Sony agreed to move forward with McKendrick directing Why years of studio relationships that once seemed fruitless ultimately became valuable when McKendrick was ready to direct The importance of betting on yourself, embracing the unusual parts of your voice, and refusing to assume that following the traditional path will eventually lead to the work you want to make Memorable Quotes: “The most beautiful thing that it gave me was this realization that I could create my own work and that I didn't have to ask for permission.” “All you need to know is what you like, and be a student of film, and be a student of your own taste.” “Every time that I have gotten rebellious and that I have put my foot down, that is when something fruits.” “If anybody could walk away from my interviews with one piece of wisdom or advice, it would always be to bet on yourself and to not wait for permission, and to believe in your weirdest stories and the weirdest parts of yourself.” Guests: Leah McKendrick Resources: Having Indie Discipline at Studio Scale: How Julia Swain Shot 'Voicemails for Isabelle' How to Build a Pitch Deck Indie Filmmakers: You Don't Need Julia Roberts to Make Your Indie Comedy How To Cut Like an Anthropologist from 'Scrambled' & ‘Alpha' Editor Sandra Granovsky Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Send us Fan MailMichele Andina — pediatric nurse practitioner, medical anthropologist, PhD from Columbia University, and co-founder of Global Lightworkers United — about a life spent bridging worlds: American and European, scientific and spiritual, clinical and intuitive. Andina traces her path from nursing through 26 countries of public health work, including running a massive Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation HIV/AIDS prevention project across 12 districts in Maharashtra, India, to finally stepping into the psychic and mediumship gifts she first experienced at age four but suppressed for decades. She describes Global Lightworkers United as a deliberately flat, non-hierarchical community of nearly 300 members built on mutual sharing rather than discipleship, discusses personal sovereignty and responsibility as the foundation of conscious living, and closes with her belief that the more light individuals collectively bring into the world, the more darkness is naturally displaced.Come Home to Yourself Where healing becomes a holistic, embodied way of being via reflection, ritual and releaseListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Of the two Koreas, it is the South which appears much the more Christian today, with all major cities dotted with church spires and illuminated crosses. But a century ago it was the northern half of the peninsula that was the more established home for Christianity, the northwestern city of Pyongyang being celebrated as a “Jerusalem of the East.” And among the faith's devotees were the parents of the man who would eventually come to lead the Democratic People's Republic of Korea from the middle of the twentieth century. Kim Il Sung, Jonathan Cheng shows in his fluidly written and richly researched book Korean Messiah: Kim Il Sung and the Christian Roots of North Korea's Personality Cult (Knopf, 2026), grew up in an environment suffused in Christian teachings and actively involved himself in church life, facts which raise questions about his later career as a guerrilla fighter and national leader. Cheng traces the long arc of Christian associations in Kim's biography, from the arrival of Presbyterianism in Korea through to the leader's battles with the church as North Korean leader, his softening towards the faith in later life, and of course his erection of a personality cult around himself that had no few similarities with the practices and aesthetics of Christianity.

Read transcriptVideo game licensing runs on a very simple equation: if a popular franchise exists, and a handheld system exists, someone will eventually put a game together and slap on a release date. That's probably the story behind Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour, with Konami treating the whole affair with the enthusiasm of checking a box on an extremely profitable to-do list. It was the franchise's first outing on the Nintendo DS, arriving with the confidence of a company that already knew the math worked. The pitch itself barely needed a pitch meeting: take the actual Duel Monsters card game, cram in over a thousand cards, and let the DS's two screens do what a real card table always wished it could, which is render your monsters in flashy 3D up top while the actual decision-making, deck construction, knowing what a Trap Card does, happens down on the touchscreen below. The story loosely resets you into a remixed version of a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament arc, because apparently even a game that's essentially “trading card simulator” still needed somebody to kidnap somebody, and wireless dueling and card trading rounded things out for anyone who wanted to bankrupt a friend without leaving the couch. Making the trip through Battle City with me is The Gaming Anthropologist, who's been out in the field studying gaming culture the way some people study a subject that actually pays. So build your deck, set a face-down card of your own choosing, and let's find out whether Nightmare Troubadour actually captured what made Duel Monsters worth dueling over, or whether “the license existed and so did the hardware” was doing all the heavy lifting. Learn such things as: Is Yu-Gi-Oo the Madden franchise of anime and manga based games? How hard is it to go play a game with a different set of rules than you're used to? Are we setting a record for games where you don't even play as any of the characters? And so much more!

The title of Elizabeth Roberts' new book, In Praise of Addiction, is likely to catch your attention, maybe even set off some cognitive dissonance in your mind. But the University of Michigan's Elizabeth Roberts doesn't want you to be unhealthy or take up new habits that can hurt you and others, she just wants you to consider that maybe we haven't been looking at addiction with the clearest of eyes. Why are some substances and habits tolerated and others scorned, their users told by society to abstain and isolated until they do? In her time living in Mexico, she noticed a big difference between people who drank or did drugs to cut themselves off from society versus those who used substances to connect with one another. She offers her analysis on how this was impacted by NAFTA and the War on Drugs in Mexico and puritanism and capitalism in the United States. This is a complicated issue but it's pretty healthy to challenge assumptions and to take a look at how those assumptions came to be established in the first place.

Truly Significant honors Texas' Cultural Queen- Leslie Collier- owner of W.R. Dallas Furniture and Austin Anthropologist

When you hear the words "Texas Soul," what comes to mind? Listen to Leslie Collier's definition that includes grit, toughness, kindness, and independent......Introducing Leslie Collier through the lens of Truly Significant Texans, one can argue that Leslie is less a furniture executive and more a cultural anthropologist of Texas. What makes her unique is that she sits at the intersection of three powerful forces: music, relationships, and storytelling. Leslie has spent decades preserving and interpreting Texas culture not from a university classroom, but from the showroom floor of W.R. Dallas. Furniture, after all, is where families gather, musicians tell stories, business leaders build friendships, and communities pass traditions from one generation to the next. Her musical prowess gives her access to the heartbeat of Texas. Musicians are often the first historians of a culture. Through relationships with artists, songwriters, performers, promoters, and cultural leaders, Leslie has developed a unique understanding of what makes Texas different from anywhere else. She understands that a song often reveals more about a people than a census report ever could. Her extensive network is equally important. Over the years she has become a trusted connector among artists, business leaders, ranchers, philanthropists, educators, and civic leaders.Like a true anthropologist, she has observed how these communities interact and has helped preserve the traditions, values, and stories that define Texas. The furniture business itself is a form of cultural preservation. W.R. Dallas has been part of Texas homes, ranches, lodges, and gathering places for generations. Through that work, Leslie has seen firsthand how Texans live, celebrate, grieve, entertain, and pass along family legacies. The company's history provides a living window into Texas culture and heritage.What makes Leslie truly significant is that she doesn't merely study Texas culture—she helps sustain it. She champions Texas music, celebrates Texas craftsmanship, promotes Texas history, and connects people who might otherwise never meet. In doing so, she serves as both curator and storyteller of the Texas experience.A fitting description might be: "Leslie Collier is Texas' cultural anthropologist—not because she earned the title in a classroom, but because she has spent a lifetime listening to the music, preserving the stories, connecting the people, and furnishing the gathering places where Texas culture comes alive." That is a rare form of significance. She helps Texans remember who they are.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Anthropologists have uncovered something pretty fascinating about Neanderthals—they might not have completely gone extinct like we thought. Instead, it seems they might have been absorbed into the modern human gene pool. A new study shows that Neanderthal DNA could include up to 3.7% of modern human genes. This suggests that humans and Neanderthals interbred more than we previously realized. So, in a way, Neanderthals are still with us today, just mixed into our DNA. Learn more about your ad choices.

Most tour operators benchmark pricing against competitors and copy the playbook of the loudest voices in the industry. Mary Collins runs two businesses by ignoring both and starting from the question an anthropologist asks first: who benefits.Mary Collins is the founder and CEO of Blue Fern Travel, a DC food tour company she launched with her husband in 2014, and the owner of Far Horizons Archaeology and Cultural Tours, the 40-year-old multi-day company she acquired in 2022. Both businesses sit on the same foundation: an anthropologist's instinct for community, story, and the economics of who benefits from a tour. Blue Fern pays full price at every restaurant, tips every server 20 percent, and routes a portion of every ticket back to a local nonprofit. Far Horizons travels with a PhD scholar from morning to night, caps at 14 guests, and spends two hours at sites where most competitors spend 30 minutes.This episode is a working session on running two very different tour businesses from the same operating philosophy. Mitch and Mary go deep on hiring for personality over knowledge, pricing into demand instead of against the competition, building DMC relationships that survive a 20-year operator transition, and the specific moment Peter Syme had to tell her twice to raise her prices. She walks through what it took to inherit a beloved 40-year-old brand from its 80-year-old founder, the FileMaker-to-WeTravel tech overhaul, and the donation model that has routed half a million dollars to archaeological sites worldwide.

What if the antidote to our increasingly frantic world isn't a grand gesture, but simply the act of paying attention?This week, Kate and Laura are joined by actor, podcaster, and author Miranda Keeling – returning to the pod to talk about her wonderful new book, The Place I'm In, a collection of the small, luminous moments she's gathered from daily life. After her debut The Year I Stopped to Notice, Miranda is back with more of her 'noticings': fragments from parks, supermarket queues, and streets that remind us how much magic is hiding in the everyday.Their book club read is the perfect complement: The Anthropologists by Ayşegül Şavas – a soulful, quietly funny novel following Asya and Manu as they hunt for an apartment, trying on different futures for size in a city far from home. Asya, a documentary filmmaker, spends her days in the park gathering footage – an anthropologist of the ordinary – and her project rhymes beautifully with Miranda's own.Plus recommendations inspired by the art of the everyday.You can find out more about Miranda and her work at mirandakeeling.com, and her podcast Stopping to Notice – over 200 five-minute episodes of binaural location recording – is the perfect companion listen.Find all the books mentioned at our bookshop.org shop.
