Welcome back folks! This episode we keep the banter (slightly) under control to allow you to experience the British neo noir thriller I.D. I.D. is a 1995 British-German film made by BBC Films. Directed by Philip Davis Screenplay by Vincent O'Connell Story by James Bannon Starring Reece DinsdaleWarren Clarke, Sean Pertwee, Richard Graham, Perry Fenwick, Philip Glenister, Saskia Reeves, Claire Skinner,Lee Ross. Four young police officers are sent undercover to infiltrate a gang of hooligans who are on the fringes of the support for a London football club. Only total commitment will gain the undercover cops the acceptance they need to do their job - but how far should they go to live the life of the football thug? One of the officers suffers a personality crisis, his standards corroded by the effects of violent macho behavior. We were fortunate enough to be able to spend a wonderful friday afternoon chatting with Reece, primarily about I.D. but also about his career, memories and wonderous range of T-Shirts!

This week's guest is producer Helen Gladders. I became aware of Helen's work through the 2016 short film RHONNA & DONNA, directed by Daina O. Pusic, and then I kept seeing her name popping up everywhere and knew she was a producer to watch.  More things you might want to know about Helen:   She is a graduate of the National Film and Television School having done their MA in Producing for Film & Television. She set up her own company Gingerbread Pictures in October 2016 and was nominated for the “Best Producer” award at Underwire for her short THE WYRD written and directed by Chloë Wicks, in 2017. She is an alumni of the BFI NETWORK'S Producer weekender, Edinburgh Film Festival talent lab, and NETWORK@LFF. Her recent short films include NIGHT BUS directed by former podcast guests Jessica & Henrietta Ashworth and the Film4 & BFI Network backed RUN written & directed by former podcast guest Ruth Greenberg and starring Niamh Algar.  At the time of recording, she was in post-production on her first feature TUESDAY, written and directed by Daina O. Pusic, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Lola Petticrew and backed by A24, BBC Films, BFI, and Cinereach. And excitingly, the film has since had two festival appearances confirmed. It will premiere at this year's Telluride festival in the US, followed shortly after by the BFI London Film Festival, where it will screen in the First Feature Competition.  Elsewhere, Helen is busy working on several projects including debut features from filmmakers Jessica & Henrietta Ashworth, Astrid Thorvaldsen, Morayo Akande and Zoe Alker. We talk about how Helen discovered a knack for producing, her experience studying at NFTS, establishing a vision and a voice for her production company, the short film funding landscape, what it means to package a project, the differences between producing shorts and features, and how Titanic kickstarted both of our fascinations with the film industry…   SHOW NOTES: Watch Helen's shorts RHONNA & DONNA, RUN and NIGHT BUS.

Chris & Kelsey celebrate 100 years since the premiere of Nosferatu by traveling far away to the land of robbers and ghosts. The Classic Film: Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) "Vampire Count Orlok expresses interest in a new residence and real estate agent Hutter's wife” (IMDb.com). Nosferatu, which premiered in Germany on March 4th, 1922, is a classic of horror, silent film, and cinema itself and for good reason. A sort of bastardized version of Bram Stoker's Dracula story, Nosferatu manages to thrill and frighten without speaking a word. The Modern Film: Shadow of the Vampire (2000) "The filming of Nosferatu is hampered by the fact that its star, Max Schreck, is taking the role of a vampire far more seriously than seems humanly possible” (IMDb.com). Shadow of the Vampire asks the question, "What if Max Schreck was really a vampire and F.W. Murnau knew it?" A very bizarre, but simultaneously silly and frightening film, and featuring brilliant performance all around, Shadow of the Vampire manages to be a worthwhile watch.

“The Midnight Sky is a film with big scopes. We have big vistas, we're in space, we are on the moon, in the Arctic. Also, it's a very intimate film because it's a lot about connection, so we when we see people we get close to them and we feel intimate with them because we are literally with the camera quite close to them and looking into their faces. In this film, it helped that we went on 65mm. We shot on a large format.

I spoke to Grace Bridger and Runyararo Mapfumo who are a producer / director duo that work together under the banner DessyMak films and have made a number of short films through that company. They have their own careers separately and we talk about both of them, but that producer-director relationship is such a unique thing and so I was keen to ask them about how they formed that bond and what their journey together has been like! Their short film MASTERPIECE premiered at the BFI London Film Festival in 2017 and was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick. Grace then went on to develop and produce DAWN IN THE DARK, written and directed by Runyararo, which was supported by BBC Films and BFI NETWORK and which premiered at BFI London Film Festival 2019 and has also been selected for festivals such as Encounters Film Festival, Underwire Festival and the Norwich Film Festival. Grace then produced Runyararo's BBC and Google Arts commissioned short SENSATIONAL SIMMY which was released and broadcast on BBC and BBC iPlayer and then Grace developed and secured funding from Uncertain Kingdom for Runyararo's documentary WHAT'S IN A NAME? which was released as part of an anthology of films aiming to provide a portrait of contemporary UK. Grace is originally from Perth in Australia, and has most recently worked on a number of films with producer Tracy O’Riordan at Moonspun Films; as a Production Secretary on Clio Barnard’s Ali & Ava, and then as a Producer’s Assistant and Assistant Producer, working in post-production on Hong Khaou’s Monsoon. As well as continuing to work with Runyararo, Grace is also currently working with Producer Fiona Lamptey as Post Production Supervisor on four Sci-Fi short films supported by Film4. Meanwhile Runyararo is currently developing her debut feature film and has recently finished directing block 2 of Netflix’s Sex Education, Season 3. We talk about their respective career paths, setting up their own production company, the learning curves along the way and how they’ve supported each other, we also chat about making shorts, transitioning to bigger projects, making career pivots and asking stupid questions. This is episode 77 of Best Girl Grip.

In 2016, she was commissioned to write and direct Diagnosis by BBC Films and she was subsequently named a Screen International ‘Star of Tomorrow’. Eva's first feature Perfect 10 was developed and produced through Creative England’s iFeatures programme and later premiered at LFF. It tells the story of a young gymnast, played by Frankie Box, whose already difficult life is disrupted by the appearance of a half-brother, played by Alfie Deegan, whose existence she was unaware of. It’s a dazzling debut, just really assured and sensitive filmmaking and performances and it’s rebellious, summery vibe is perfect for these cold winter months and you can currently watch it on BBC iPlayer. I think Eva is a brilliant filmmaker, and she made for a wonderful interviewee. She didn’t sugarcoat any of her successes and I think she makes visible the hard work and effort it’s taken to arrive at this very well deserved moment.  We talk about working with young actors, what her filmmaking instincts are, giving less fucks about asking for what she wants, the physical demands of directing, the realities of pre-production and what she learnt from making her first feature.

Faute de sorties en salles, notre nouvelle émission d’actualité, SALE TEMPS POUR UN FILM, continue de traiter les nouveautés disponibles sur les plateformes de streaming, avec cette fois-ci un petit film fantastique anglais, HIS HOUSE de Remi Weekes, visible sur Netflix depuis quelques jours.Une production BBC Films qui s’inscrit dans le sillage de ce nouveau sous-genre qu’est le « black horror », très en vogue depuis le succès du GET OUT de Jordan Peele, puisqu’il nous raconte l’histoire d’un couple de réfugiés soudanais débarquant en Angleterre après une traversée maritime tragique au cours de laquelle ils ont perdu leur fille et qui vont se retrouver obligés d’habiter un logement social hanté. Une tentative certes louable (et par moment non dénuée de talent) mais quelque peu ratée de mixer le film d’horreur contemporain avec la tradition du cinéma social britannique. Stéphane Moïssakis et Arnaud Bordas, qui étaient de célèbres marabouts dans une autre vie, en parlent doctement sous la direction experte de notre grande prêtresse Clémence Gueidan dans une émission un peu spéciale puisqu’elle inaugure une formule de podcast en triplex imposé par le confinement actuel.Présentation : Clémence GueidanRédacteur en chef : Stéphane MoïssakisChroniqueurs : Arnaud Bordas et Stéphane MoïssakisProduction : Clémence Gueidan et Alain MercierHabillage Sonore : LatexPour nous soutenir, une seule adresse : https://fr.tipeee.com/capture-mag/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week Giles sits down (virtually) with the amazing Lucy Brydon, writer and director of Body of Water a beautifully made female-led drama backed by BBC Films and Film London. Lucy reveals how she made her start in film whilst teaching in China, getting into short films and production work before starting work on Body of Water which started life as a short film. We hear about the development process, from pitching the film as a short at festivals, to applying to the Film London development lab before being selected. Giles asks Lucy about her screenwriting process, the many changes the script went through and the importance of staying faithful to the original concept. Finally, we chat about day to day life on set, working with the BFI and BBC to develop the rough cut and getting a cinema release amid lockdown.   Support Body of Water’s theatrical release https://www.curzoncinemas.com/film-info/body-of-water   You can also watch Body of Water online   You can rent it on Sky Store: skystore.com/product/body-of-water/a01e2630-2f6b-4f10-b507-6052923339f2 Or on BFI Player: player.bfi.org.uk/rentals/film/watch-body-of-water-2020-online Or on Curzon Home Cinema: curzonhomecinema.com/film/watch-body-of-water-film-online   Support the Murder Ballads Crowdfunder on Greenlit   SUPPORT US ON PATREON   SPREAD THE WORD WITH OUR MERCH Our Filmmakers Podcast MERCHANDISE is now available.

I am very thrilled to be able to introduce Dionne Farrell as this week’s podcast guest.  Dionne is a Development Executive at BBC Films where she has worked across several of their releases, including Rapman’s Blue Story and Francis Lee’s Ammonite which is closing this year’s London Film Festival. Dionne began her career as an office runner for Raw before moving into script development as the BFI’s Script Editor Trainee. We talk about those experiences, as well as gaining confidence, learning when to speak up but also finding value in silence, slowness and the idea of not feeling guilty when we’re not being maximally productive, how she assesses projects and trusting her gut instinct when it comes to championing them.  I’m really grateful to Dionne for her openness and I hope as ever you enjoy the insight into this part of the film industry.

Then Also Mike teases his review of The Trial of the Chicago 7 before we review the second trailer for Over The Moon, and then, all chaos erupts. For Mike1 is an agent of chaos as he decides to pitch a radical idea for this year’s Oscars 2020/21 ceremony & ABC’s (Disney owned/Netflix biased?) broadcast. How crazy is this idea? You’ve gotta listen to find out. But don’t worry, we cover most of the other movie studio slates from Disney / Searchlight to Universal / Focus to Neon / Hulu to A24 / Apple to BBC / Amazon, and we preview / speculate about all their films from The French Dispatch & Next Goal Wins to Promising Young Woman & Zola. Plus, we review more trailers in the process like Minari, Sound of Metal, Supernova, & Borat 2. As always, share your thought with us. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.

I’m rather excited and a little bit trepidatious to release this episode because it was recorded live at the Watersprite Film Festival in Cambridge back in March and so it feels rather antiquated. There were people there! Georgia and I sat face to face! We mention SXSW being cancelled which Georgia was due to attend with a pilot she directed called Bored. So listening back to this was odd, it felt a bit like a time capsule. But the conversation is still great and Georgia is wonderful, so I am of course very happy to have spoken with her and to do so for Watersprite. Georgia is a writer and director with a raft of award-winning short films under her belt, including Little Bird which is being adapted into an 8-part drama with Riverstone Pictures. Her first feature 'Blue Jean', was developed through the iFeatures, I think in 2018 and is now backed by BBC Films. Other upcoming projects include ‘The Isles’, a feature film in development with Creative Scotland and ‘The State of Us’, a six part series in development with Origin Pictures. I particularly loved this conversation because it feels rare to me that you hear a director speak prior to their first feature being made or released, obviously all the PR is done after the fact, and so it felt special to me to get a bit more of an insight into what that interim bit entails. And truth be told it’s not really an interim, it’s Georgia’s career and one of the things she happens to be working on next is a feature film. And Georgia mentions this later one, about not ever getting complacent or thinking that one film is going to elevate you to permanence in the film industry, it’s all about persistence, so I guess my point is that I liked the idea of divorcing that first feature from the sense of having made it.  We also chat about staying motivated during development, balancing lots of different ideas, how she stays creatively energised, being mentored by Desiree Akhavan and the invaluable advice she gave and the collective she’s part of called Cinesisters.

Cate is Head of Acquisitions at Curzon Artificial Eye, the UK distributor behind many an award-winning movie. Some of my favourite releases of theirs have included The Handmaiden, Victoria, Love & Friendship, Only You, A Fantastic Woman, 120 BPM, The Great Beauty and Jeune Femme, to name but a few.  We talked about the start of Cate’s career working for BBC Films and Casarotto, as well as her acquisitions highlights, how she deals with not making deals and what returning to work since maternity leave has been like.  And it would be remiss of me not to mention a Curzon release coming to cinemas soon, which is undoubtedly one of my favourites of 2019 (I was lucky enough to see it at TIFF) and that’s Celine Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady On Fire. It’s every bit as sensuous and wise and vivid as you’d expect and I can’t recommend it enough. Curzon are releasing that into cinemas and on-demand from the 28th February.  **Quick PSA. My questions have been re-recorded to fix some sound issues, so if it sounds like Cate and I are in a different room, that would be why.**  But for now please join me in fangirling Cate in episode 37 of Best Girl Grip.

First I would like to thank Matt, for his wonderful short movie that is Lobster. I really enjoy his work on my way to Birmingham as I got into the wrong train and discover the onboard entertainment platform. One option was full of shorts movies, and I devoured them all, well most of them during the 1hour and a half journey. I love the narrative, the cinematography, the grading, and paste. Really great work and I hope to see more of his creativity soon. Matt studied graphic design and photography, worked as Assistant Director on This is England, you have worked on commercial projects for Barclays, Vodafone, Budweiser, Fiat and Samsung and many more. Matt also directed ‘Trimming the Fat’ starring Matthew Horne (Gavin & Stacey) for BBC Films, wrote and directed ‘Straw Donkey’ starring Joe Thomas (The Inbetweeners). This episode with Matt Huntley was inspiring to me, and if you into filming or thinking of directing your very own short movie one day, then this episode may bring you some lights or advice. I really enjoyed the conversation, Matt is a lovely bloke and a very nice person with such a calm and soothing voice, I hope to buy him a pint soon and chat further. I hope you will enjoy it too. I ask Matt. How many awards and reviews did Lobster get in the end? I count about 15. When did you decide, or when you knew you wanted to be a director? Was this your first choice for your life? How did it take you till you could live from what you love doing? Did you have a part-time job at the start? The idea for the movie is down to your personal crushes you had when I kid on summer camp holiday, where was that, in the UK? So when did you decide to do lobster? What the script wrote itself from memories, how many drafts did you do till the final draft was ready for filming? Matt Lobster is running just over 5 minutes, how much filming does this actually represent in days or weeks? Was it fun? stress-free or a nightmare to put together? What is your favorite work? Any new future you’re excited about right now? What would say to inspire young directors out there in terms of advice of getting their career off the ground? Do you have any morning routine? What do you do to relax? Do you meditate? Any books you recommend? Any movies, documentary, or series you recommend?

One of the questions most often asked at Shipleys LLP is whether it’s better to be a sole trader or limited company? For the first episode of our new audio podcast, Shipleys FM, our main topic is sole trader or limited company. When is the right time to incorporate? What are the tax consequences of changing from being a sole trader to incorporating as a limited company? I chat with Michelle and Martin to answer these questions and more. Our client interview in this episode features filmmaker David Thompson. David was the founding head of BBC Films, before leaving to start his own film production company, Origin Pictures. At Origin Pictures, David has produced films including The Awakening, An Education, and The Sense of an Ending. As he explains in our conversation, he also produced Mandela: The Long Walk To Freedom, featuring Idris Elba. We cover a quick overview of HMRC investigations; nobody wants to be on the receiving end of an inquiry from the taxman, so this segment is worth a listen. Last but not least, there’s a catch-up with my colleague Mike Luckett, Principle at Shipleys LLP. Mike is responsible for the day-to-day running of Shipleys’ two tax departments in London and Godalming. As a former HMRC Officer, he is well aware of the procedure from the other side of the fence. We hope you enjoy listening to our first podcast episode. Do also drop me a line with any questions or feedback you have, I’d love to hear from you. Please subscribe to Shipleys FM in Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast player. And please share this episode with a friend or colleague. We publish our next episode in a fortnight, where the main topic is tax-savvy charitable giving. Until then, thank you for listening to Shipleys FM.

This week I spoke to Rowan Woods who has jammed so much into her career it’s actually pretty staggering and is possibly one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met. Rowan is currently the Film Programme Manager for the British Council where she finds and screens new UK features to international film festival selectors, as well as being the Industry Programmer for this year’s London Film Festival. Previously she was a Development Executive as BBC Films, so we chat about working her way up to that role, taking strategic career leaps, staying healthy at film festivals and being a friend to younger women in the industry. It’s no surprise that several people have requested that Rowan be a guest on the podcast, so I’m very happy to finally be making that happen.

In this episode, Kelle teaches us about Remote Viewing...or the ability to bi-locate your consciousness to allow you to “see” a place outside of your normal view. Kelle talks about what remote viewing is, how it works, and some ways to get started doing.

No programa de hoje, vamos criar nossa trilha sonora com Eduardo Aram . Falamos da profissão compositor, quais são as dificuldades de compor, deonde vêm as expirações e criatividade para uma trilha perfeita. Atualmente Aram compõe para duas séries junto com outros dois compositores, os mexicanos  Andres Sanchez Mahe e Gus Reyes: Diablero (Netflix - México-Espanha) e Tijuana (Netflix / Univision - Estados Unidos), além do documentário Runner Without A Country, que conta a história de um refugiado de guerra que se tornou atleta olímpico. Formado em direito e DJ de sucesso nos anos 2000, hoje Aram pode comprovar que é possivel viver com a música. Aram compôs ainda parte dos temas de abertura das Olimpíadas do Rio 2016, com Beto Villares e Antonio Pinto e o encerramento das Olimpíadas de Londres. Nascido na década de 80, Eduardo Aram começou a estudar violão aos 9 anos; aos 15 guitarra elétrica e aos 17 a produzir suas próprias músicas. Ainda jovem se interessou por música eletrônica; seu irmão era organizador de festivais e com o convívio entre eles e outros artistas Aram começou a se apresentar nestes eventos e no início dos anos 2000 já tocava suas próprias músicas ao lado do Killer on The Dancefloor, grupo de sucesso na época. Paralelamente, sob influência da família, foi estudar Direito. Durante o período da faculdade até concluir o curso trabalhava na área, mas mantinha as suas atividades também na música ao se apresentar como DJ. "A biblioteca da universidade de Direito era junto com a de música, então eu chegava horas antes das aulas começarem para estudar música e Direito. Em 2004 me formei e, após alguns meses, decidi que seguiria na carreira da música, embora não soubesse como. Cresci ouvindo aqueles comentários infelizes de que "música não ganha dinheiro", mas sempre ignorei,  fiz o que acreditava", diz. Em 2008 conheceu o DJ Zegon, atualmente do Tropikillaz e responsável por produzir a cantora brasileira Anitta. Naquela época gravaram e lançaram algumas músicas e o DJ  o indicou para um estúdio de publicidade em São Paulo; assim iniciou a sua jornada na composição de músicas para filmes. "Nesses anos comecei a viajar para outros países e entre eles visitei a Califórnia,  em Los Angeles. Foi aí que decidi que seguiria a carreira em terras americanas". Ainda nesse período, Aram conheceu também Antônio Pinto, filho do cartunista Ziraldo, um dos mais respeitados compositores brasileiros no cinema, que assina  filmes como Cidade de Deus,  Collateral e  Amy – documentário sobre a vida da cantora inglesa Amy Winehouse vencedor do Oscar de 2016. "Ele me convidou para fazermos alguns projetos juntos e em 2011 me ofereceu uma sala no mesmo prédio de seu estúdio. Ali eu trabalhava em meus projetos e ficava conectado ao ritmo dele, que desde aquela época já tinha uma carreira internacional em Hollywood e foi fundamental para a minha entrada nesse ambiente", explica. Em 2012 Aram assinou seu  primeiro filme ao lado de  Antonio, "The Odyssey" para BBC Films. "A trilha ficou tão legal que foi lançada como disco. Antonio foi meu mentor. Me convidou para dezenas de outros projetos. Assim eu trabalhava, compunha músicas e adquiria experiência internacional. Trabalhei em estúdios como o aclamado Abbey Road (conhecido pelas gravações dos Beatles), Sony, Paramount, Universal, entre outros". Com esse montante de filmes, em 2015 Aram se mudou em definitivo para Los Angeles para  trabalhar com televisão, além de cinema, e dar continuidade à carreira. "Na televisão o ritmo e prazos são completamente diferentes de cinema. O processo é mais dinâmico e rápido e existem mais chances de se conseguir um projeto a longo prazo. Uma série com diversas  temporadas pode durar alguns anos. Por isso, estar aqui faz a diferença", afirma. Desde então Aram tornou-se figura constante em trilhas sonoras de Hollywood: já são 16 filmes, 11 séries, 7 espetáculos, 17 discos, e mais de 100 comerciais pra publicidade.

Beth Pattinson, development executive at BBC Films talks to Sadie Jones, screenwriter and novelist, ahead of the debut of her two-part drama, The Outcast, on BBC One. Sadie details her journey as an unproduced screenwriter to novelist and back. The Outcast began as a feature film script but when producers were unable to make it the way they wanted to Sadie turned the story into a novel. Within a year, the book was published to wide critical acclaim and won the Costa First Novel Award. It was also a finalist for the prestigious Orange Prize, as well as a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for First Fiction. When Christine Langan, Head of BBC Films, read the novel, she knew it had to be brought to the screen. Blueprint Pictures came on board to develop the novel with BBC Films as a feature film, but it proved too difficult to adapt the story into a 120 minute feature. BBC Drama then came on board and the story was split into a two-part drama for television. Beth and Sadie recount the development process, structuring the story across mediums, defying the odds and never giving up. The Outcast stars George Mackay, Greg Wise, Jessica Barden, Hattie Morahan, and Jessica Brown Findlay in what has been decribed as a deeply romantic, uncomfortably honest coming-of-age story set in booming post-war Britain.
