Welcome to the Following Films podcast! I'm Chris Maynard, your host. Today, I had the chance to sit down with Christoffer Guldbrandsen director of the documentary film  A STORM FORETOLD. A STORM FORETOLD is centered on Roger Stone. With a colossal cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth, a libation in hand, and an unmistakable disdain for his political adversaries, Roger Stone emerges as the quintessential ally to Donald Trump. Revered as a right-wing powerbroker, Stone's influential journey traces back to the era of President Nixon, a legacy inked onto his own back. If you haven't seen it, do a Google search for Roger Stone Nixon tattoo, its a sight to behold. In a film marked by unparalleled access, the film captures the tumultuous final months of the Trump administration, centering on the heart of power and climaxing with the unprecedented storming of Congress.   Our director and occasional voice of reason, finds himself amidst the chaos as Trump supporters converge on Washington, witnessing firsthand Roger Stone's strategic retreat from his hotel suite as the 'Stop the Steal' campaign spirals into a riot. A Storm Foretold – unfolds the narrative of a once-established political party metamorphosing into an anti-democratic movement, where impassioned rhetoric evolves into tangible violence.

Balance. The holy grail of every entrepreneurial artist’s quest. What does a balanced artist’s life look like? And what happens when you actually achieve balance? As much as I love the idea of being whisked away by my latest all-consuming project, I also know what it feels like to be out of balance. I much prefer being in charge of my time and my life, and that’s why I loved this conversation with Chris Maynard. Chris turns feathers into intricate art. Working with delicate tools, he carves into feathers to create images of the very creatures that shed them. His unique feather sculptures are recognized by art collectors, bird lovers, and a variety of people from around the world. In this episode, I talked with Chris about finding balance in life as well as in making and marketing art. He shares the secret behind his seemingly successful quest for balance, how he approaches requests for commissioned pieces, and the systems that he uses to stay on top of it all. Balance may seem elusive, and, yet, we all need it in order to be our most creative and successful selves. Whether you’re currently searching for balance in your work or have already homed in on what the perfect balance means to you, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Highlights   Chris Maynard explains the inspiration behind his unique artwork of carving feathers. (3:39) Details about the seven galleries that represent Chris’s work.

We lost our Movie Pass sponsorship (I don't think those guys paid their internet or ANY bill this week) so it's another trip into host Mike's hard drive. And with that type of passionate setup, he finds a recording with returning guest ALICE BISHOP on one of their favorite films of LAST year in A GHOST STORY. This inspires a conversation with co-host CHRIS MAYNARD on films where men take a long and complicated journey of their own making to return to places they don't recognize in THE SWIMMER and THE PASSENGER.

 克里斯·梅纳德 从时代的角度看艺术，这里是磨时艺见。 在很多人印象中，羽毛是一种轻盈、柔软、吹弹即破的材质，但你是否想过，羽毛也可以像石头一样被精心地雕琢成画？来自美国艺术家克里斯·梅纳德（Chris Maynard），正是通过对羽毛的雕刻创作，塑造出轻飘飘的“微观世界”。 梅纳德在开始创作前，或者先想到特定的鸟类，然后了解这种鸟的特性以及羽毛质量，再根据羽毛的情况进行创作；又或者先构思创作理念，再去选择契合于创作的鸟或羽毛。梅纳德表示，选择适合的羽毛十分费劲，因为它们必须在外形、图案、形式和颜色上都完美契合。而且，他会将羽毛的每一个细微的结构都观察得非常仔细，这样才能确保作品顺利地完成。 在梅纳德看来，羽毛是功能和外观的完美结合，它既能帮助鸟类抵御自然气候的伤害，还是鸟类在大自然中最好的伪装，同时它们也承载人类对世界的奇思妙想，甚至是一段值得纪念的情感。 此外，专注于羽毛雕刻也让梅纳德发现了一个更广阔的世界。为了寻找合适的羽毛，他自学鸟类保护法，确保自己所使用的每一片羽毛都是合法的。同时，他还学习许多有关树木、鸟类饲养和城市的知识，以便了解鸟类的行为习惯。 如今，梅纳德的羽毛雕刻作品在Youtube上获得高点击量，也被多家国外媒体争相报道。谈及自己的创作为何能如此吸引人，梅纳德觉得，也许因为对人类来说，飞行一直是一个普遍而浪漫的想法，所以作为飞行工具的羽毛就能够激励着人们去展望未来、超越自己。  以上内容由磨时艺见整理，希望对你有所启发。磨时艺见，每晚9点，准时更新！

In this interview, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art Chief Curator Greg Robinson has an illuminating and delightful conversation with Chris Maynard, a local artist whose medium is (legally sourced) bird feathers. His exhibition called "Featherfolio" is currently showing at the Art Museum.  Chris's first solo museum show has over 40 astounding artworks with feathers “carved” and artfully laid out in creative compositions. This show also includes four site-specific installations of birds - surgically formed from feathers - taking off on the walls in beautiful patterns. Late in his life Chris Maynard became an increasingly recognized full-time artist, having first had a career as a biologist. But it was that career and his long-time interest in nature, especially the inspirations of wildlife, birds and their feathers, that eventually brought him to creating what is now very unique, unusual, and exquisite finely formed designs composed of feathers. In response to Greg's questions as Curator, Chris tells us why he became an artist and why feathers would naturally be his medium of choice. In this conversation, Chris talks about who and what inspires him, and how his artistry has developed and evolved, about his artist mother and eye-surgeon father who worked with small precision tools. In this podcast, learn how Chris designs his compositions and looks for feathers that will best express his design. Or sometimes Chris holds a feather and gains inspiration for a composition. Chris's beautifully written and photographed book, "Feathers: Form & Function", describes “what feathers are; how they work; and why we find them alluring.” There is much to learn in this "Art Museum Encounter" with Chris about his Featherfolio exhibit, currently on exhibit at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

On this episode we take a trip to the states of Kevin Smith. First we travel True North with guest Kristen Lopez of Journey in Classic Film and the podcast Ticklish Business for the second part of that trilogy in YOGA HOSERS. Then it's back to the States with co-host Chris Maynard and one of his guilty pleasures in JERSEY GIRL going up against the extreme and horrific politics of middle America in RED STATE. We also make time (as we do every episode) to objectify the glorious onscreen nudity of Jeff Goldblum and Patrick Swayze. 

Chris Maynard host of the following films podacst is joined by Micahael Troyan to discuss The history of 20th Century Fox. Michael holds a Masters in Library Science, and has worked as an archivist at the Walt Disney and Warner Bros. studios, as well as a consultant and film historian elsewhere. He is the author of MGM Hollywoods Greatest Backlot and numerous other books about film. His latest book Twentieth Century Fox: A Century of Entertainment will be availible Oct 1 2016 In other words this guy has forgotten more about film than our host will ever know. Over the next couple weeks Micael and Chris will look back at the studios history decade by deacde. For our first episode we are examining fox in the 2000s I hope you enjoy the show

On this episode, we are joined by CHRIS MAYNARD of FOLLOWING FILMS POD to talk about the Swedish and American adaptation of the first book from the Millennium trilogy, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO.

So this episode exists because co-host Chris Maynard was wronged into unnecessarily watching The Human Centipede for the podcast. And now we are about to wrong you the listener with a War Machine vs. War Horse special looking at the entire Human Centipede trilogy. To make this undesirable cinematic act more palatable I have tried to make this as much of a clip show as possible, with a little help from my barking dog during the recording process leading to ample opportunities to spotlight creative work I actually like and promote another podcast @FromPage2Screen. But first a look at the third Human Centipede.  

Inspired by the new video release of SELMA, we look at two older protest pictures with guest Jamie Dew of the great film podcast The Dew Over. The two older films of BATTLE IN SEATTLE and PRIDE have us debating when there is too much star power in supporting roles, and the always important social issue of men's hair. But first, an interview from Chris Maynard with SELMA actress Tara Ochs on her film career and work in Atlanta.

Last episode we was a triple feature of men hunting or being hunted by bears with THE BEAR going up against THE EDGE, inspired by new horror film BACKCOUNTRY. On this episode we are inspired by another new horror movie in SPRING which has us looking back at 1982’s CAT PEOPLE and 2000’s GINGER SNAPS for other cinematic female transformations to furry creatures. But before we get into that, host Chris Maynard participated in a joint interview with Howard Gorman of Cinema Chords and Scream magazine to talk to the directors of SPRING, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.

Last episode we were on the search for our masculinity with a triple feature of MY OWN MAN, THE GRADUATE and FIGHT CLUB and since that didn’t do the trick, on this episode we continue to challenge our manhood, but only through a film experience with THE BEAR taking on THE EDGE. This decision to fight a bear and in this case two bear films fighting each other for our movie amusement has been inspired by the new horror film BACKCOUNTRY. Our own Chris Maynard was a part of a press junket where he got to talk with the film’s writer and director, Adam MacDonald.

On this episode the new Netflix documentary MY OWN MAN has us questioning our own manhood and the only answers we could find were by looking to our elders in cinema with 1967’s THE GRADUATE taking on 1999’s FIGHT CLUB. Hopefully Mrs. Robinson and Tyler Durden can drag us kicking and screaming into manhood, but before that, host Chris Maynard spoke with director David Sampliner about masculinity and his great new documentary film MY OWN MAN.

In episode 28, Peter is joined by a returning guest in Chris Maynard of Following Films Podcast and War Machine Vs War Horse! We probably spent more time talking about random things but also Police Academy 2: First Assignment, 3: Back in Training, and 4: Citizens on Patrol!

In episode 27, Peter is joined by Chris Maynard from War Machine Vs. War Horse podcast to discuss a classic comedy starring Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrall and others! We surprised ourselves by talking about this movie at length and also going off in many, many tangents!

The Met Office hosts some the largest computers in the UK to predict the weather and changes in the climate. Best known for the Public Weather Service, the Met Office also advises UK government and other organisations world wide. The difficulties of modelling such a complex system as the Earth's atmosphere, how it is actually done and what future computational challenges lie ahead will be discussed. This talk was given as part of our MSc in HPC's 'HPC Ecosystem' course.
