Sometimes you've gotta dial it back....On this very special episode we go all the way back to TIFF 2025 for an interview on a fantastic film that we almost forgot about.  It's time for more excellent Canadian cinema and 'Little Lorraine'.Directed by Grammy-nominated Andy Hines (feature film debut), based on a true story and Adam Baldwin's song "Lighthouse in Little Lorraine".  Between 1986 and 1990, Little Lorraine (Cape Breton) became embroiled in an international cocaine smuggling operation under the noses of multiple governments and federal agencies, distributing drugs and money in coffins driven around in hearses by a network of funeral homes.  Experienced through the eyes of three entrapped best friends (Stephen Amell, Joshua Close, Steve Lund), this film tells the gripping true tale of how this unlikely story was born, thrived ultimately fell apart in this unassuming little town. There's nothing like a little true crime in our own backyard.  'Little Lorraine' had it's world premiere back at TIFF last year and now after having travelled the world, it's coming home for the masses to enjoy.  Back at the fest we had the pleasure of sitting down with Co-Writer and Director Andy Hines as well as star Auden Thornton to find all about everything that made Little Lorraine tick.Check your local listings, 'Little Lorraine' is in theatres now...

In this episode, we sit down with co-writer/directors John-Paul Davidson and Stephen Warbeck to discuss their latest film The Three Urns, in cinemas from April 17th. They chat about their creative partnership, their fascinating (and very different) career paths, and what they learned from making their first feature that they brought onto this one.Listen now on SoundCloud, Apple, Spotify, Acast and Amazon, or subscribe to Film Ireland wherever you get your podcasts.The Three UrnsEqual parts picturesque and picaresque, Mr. O'Connor's journey across Ireland is filled with playful misadventures and serendipitous encounters. Along the way, he stumbles upon a cohort of colourful characters: a Lithuanian painter, an itinerant priest, horse traders and whisperers, and a Choctaw native travelling to commemorate the Great Famine. He is also given refuge by a group of mystic women, whom he finds worshipping at the ancient Beltany Stone Circle.He visits his brother, who still runs the family dairy farm, and uncovers the truth about his wife's favourite cousin. Yet misfortune dogs his path. From the outset, Mr. O'Connor is followed by a mysterious Woman in Black, who trails him in a diminutive electric car plagued by persistent charging issues.Will Penn goes on a musical pilgrimage in his review of ‘The Three Urns.'John-Paul Davidson and Stephen WarbeckStephen Warwick is one of Britain's most successful composers, soundtracking films such as Shakespeare in Love (for which he won an Oscar), Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and Billy Elliott.John-Paul Davidson is best known for his documentary travelogue series with Michael Palin and Stephen Fry In AmericaJohn-Paul Davidson and Stephen Warbeck go back a long way. They have known each other since they attended Bristol University in the mid-1970's. They lived together in a London squat and although their lives within the creative sphere spiralled off into different directions – Stephen becoming one of Britain's most successful composers, soundtracking films such as Shakespeare in Love (for which he won an Oscar), Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and Billy Elliott, and John-Paul Davidson becoming a director and film producer, best known for his documentary travelogue series with Michael Palin – they remained friends. “We have known each other since Bristol University,” says Warbeck. “We often spend holidays together in France and our children are all friends with each other.” Davidson and Warbeck are friends and creative partners. Davidson adds: “I got Stephen to do some music for films I was making at the BBC and that's how our working collaboration started again after university.” Both schools of absurd comedy were manifested in The Man in the Hat (2020), Davidson and Warbeck's first directorial collaboration.” Over the years, the podcast has featured acclaimed guests such as Phyllida Lloyd, Lenny Abrahamson, M. Night Shyamalan, John Boorman, Saoirse Ronan, Colin Farrell, Aisha Tyler, Colm Meaney, Paul Reiser, Niamh Algar, David Freyne, Ciarán Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer, John Crowley, Niamh Algar, Gene Stupnitsky, and Terence Davies, alongside many of the most influential voices working in film and television today.So make sure to subscribe and listen back!

#realconversations #actor #producer #GSFF #ModernFamily#LosAngeles #HollywoodCONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIESHosted by Calvin SchwartzMeet NOLAN GOULD; I've been around the journalism block.With gentle wings, I gravitate to the world of film. It changed my lifewondrously. A few blinks of a Zoom eye, and there is Nolan Gould sitting nextto me (on Zoom screen) for an interview. All to myself with his amazingaccomplishments. I loved it when Nolan said he spent 22 years in the business.I was counting on my fingers. But he didn't even look like he hit the thirddecade. And he hasn't. He started acting at five. He's 27. I blurted, “I'm overa half-century older than you.” It made no difference. Cruising along. Nolanwas Luke on Modern Family. His life is this business. The focus of ourinterview is “The Liars of Black Mountain Road,” which is screening at theupcoming Garden State Film Festival. Nolan is the actor, co-writer, andproducer. It is such a brave new world. Nolan is brilliant, incisive, eloquent,and passionate. He can't be 27. He speaks like a Hollywood fifty-year veteran.I asked tough questions. Thoughts. Emotionally suffocating. Intentional. Who issomeone truly? Collaborating with the director, Parker Croft. Restrainedperformances. Then he said,” Don't show people what you can't do.” Then we wentto “Hell,” a stop motion animation. Also screening at Garden State.  Heavy stuff. Balancing symbolism withemotional clarity. We could've gone on for hours. To wrap, I asked my favoriteintrospective question. Nolan answered, “Stanley Kubrick.” Me too, I said.”  Calvin

“[My dad] really started to inhabit the characters, especially Ray, speaking as him during the writing process. That was when I realized this was going to be its own kind of special beast. Working with him taught me so much as a writer and storyteller; by the time we got to set, we had a shorthand for everything,” says director and co-writer Ronan Day-Lewis about writing the script Anemone with his father, Daniel Day-Lewis.   The film Anemone, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean and Samantha Morton, paints a portrait of a family torn apart as they struggle to come to terms with their past and present after their harrowing experiences with the Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Isolation, shame, regret and the true meaning of brotherhood are themes explored in this hyper-focused family drama.   On today's episode we sit down with Ronan Day-Lewis to find out more about his edgy first feature film, what it's like writing a screenplay with Daniel Day-Lewis, and Ronan's personal connection between his visual art and the imagery in the film.  Ronan also shares this advice to screenwriters tackling family and generational stories: “Whatever you can fall in love with, latch onto that: an image, a feeling, a character. Don't put pressure on approaching a script a certain way. Stay open, be patient, and keep sight of what originally gave you the impulse to enter that world. Over time, the story will reveal itself to you.” To learn more about this surprising and deeply emotional film, listen to the podcast.

“Write your own anxieties. Get into your own psyche. I think if it scares you – like, I'm terrified of guns, and that's where The Purge came from. But here, there were various generational fears and whatnot that led to The Home, Adam's fears and my fears about getting older and our anxiety. So I would say if it's born from your fear, the majority of the audience probably has a similar fear. I think we are communal in that way. Fears are not singular, so I think you should work off your own fears, and on a practical level, if you can keep the budget small, you're in a much better place getting it made. That was key to The Purge getting made, that it was one location,” says James DeMonaco, director and co-writer of the new horror film, The Home. On today's show, we talk with both James DeMonaco and Adam Cantor, co-writers of the new horror film The Home. The Home is about Max (Pete Davidson), a troubled young man, who starts working at a retirement home only to realize its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets. As he investigates the building and its forbidden fourth floor, he starts to uncover connections to his own past and upbringing as a foster child.  DeMonaco, best known for creating The Purge franchise, and Cantor, an actor-turned-writer, talk about their favorite horror films from the 1970s, the challenge of bringing a 70s vibe to modern horror films, and working with their Staten Island buddy, comedian Pete Davidson and bringing out his intense dramatic performance. DeMonaco also talks about the impact The Purge films have had on our culture.  “I grew up watching Romero and Carpenter films and George Miller. I always thought they put great mirrors up to society, and there was always some kind of smuggler's cinema idea, where they were smuggling socio-political themes into the genre's pieces. So sadly, The Purge is reflective of the world we're living in and becoming, I think, more reflective, which is scary. And terrifying. I wish it wasn't, I wish it was a complete fantasy to purge. Unfortunately, it's not right now, and it's seemingly getting worse,” says DeMonaco who weighs in on whether something like The Purge could happen in real life.  “I used to say, ‘Absolutely not!' Now, I don't know if I would say that any longer, and that's even scarier to me,” says DeMonaco. To hear more about The Home and the spooky events that h appened on set, listen to the podcast.

“It was a lot of empathizing. I would do long phone calls with Abel (Tesfaye, aka the Weeknd) after we had met, just basically talking to him and finding out more of his history, where he was at in different phases of his life, where he's at today, and using those to create a character. And part of creating that character is I'll find my own personal stuff to attach to it… Portions of his life I can relate to very much. And past all of that, I think this is the deepest I've gone with my therapy background and my mom and stepdad being therapists. I tried to make the movie work to where if you just want to watch the movie at surface value and go on a ride with it and experience it and not think about it again, hopefully it works on that level. But also if you want to look at it and interpret it on a whole deeper, hopefully richer level, there's a lot going on,” says Trey Edward Shults, director and co-writer of the new film Hurry Up Tomorrow on how he took Able “the Weeknd” Tesfaye's story and made it personal to him.  On today's episode, we sit down with writer/director Trey Edward Shults to discuss his new film Hurry Up Tomorrow that stars the Weeknd, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, about a rock star who goes on an existential odyssey after losing his voice on stage.  Shults shares his journey to becoming a filmmaker, working with visionary director Terrence Malick, making the highly biographical film Krisha (2014), and the shockingly ominous horror film It Comes at Night (2017).  He also shares this advice for writing your first film: “It has to be something you are so hungry to tell. And it has to be something you would die to make. You know what I mean? At least to me, my approach was I like to make stuff personal and they always say like, write what you know, write the personal thing. But I just think it needs to be something you're crazy hungry to do no matter what,” says Shults.   To hear more, listen to the podcast.

“For me, I don't know how you could not make [a script] personal. I think drama allows you to hide how personal it is. I think that's kind of what I like about writing in the genre space. On the outside looking in, it just looks like a big action movie. It doesn't look like a personal story. But there are personal elements like my mom was a working mom as well. And so that's why you have Kyra in the movie who has to come back to her son because she's been working to protect him. That's a very personal thing… but you would never assume that it's a personal story because it's wrapped up in the action,” says Leon Chills, co-writer of the new film Shadow Force, about writing action from a very personal point of view.  On today's episode, we talk with director/co-writer Joe Carnahan and co-writer Leon Chills about the new action flick Shadow Force that puts a family at the center of the action. With a bounty on their heads, Kyra (Kerry Washington) and Isaac (Omar Sy) must go on the run with their young son (Jahleel Kamara) to avoid their former employer, a unit of shadow ops that has been sent to kill them. Carnahan and Chills talk about the challenges of writing action set pieces and the power of giving the story emotional weight. We also discuss trying to push the boundaries of the action genre to invent set pieces that are fresh and inventive, and writing action scenes on the page that are compact and concise.  “As an older writer and doing it as long as I have, I'll tell screenwriters, if I see four or five lines of scene description, I'm telling you, do it in two. Do it in one. Let people spend 40 minutes reading your script. No more. You know what I mean? Get through it with that kind of economy. If you've ever read M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense script – it's an absolute masterclass in how to do that. Just so sparse and beautiful and pitch perfect the way that things are written,” says Carnahan.    To learn more about action writing and hear more advice, listen to the podcast.
