Dave can't make it this week, so Megan and Evan review this week's very different films as a duo. First, Megan covers the Ami Canaan Mann's biopic AUDREY'S CHILDREN (2:32), which chronicles a period in the life of world-renowned children's doctor Dr. Audrey Evans (Natalie Dormer), as she works to revolutionize treatment of childhood cancer during the late 1960s and helps co-found the first Ronald McDonald House. Come for Natalie Dormer's excellent performance. Next, they discuss Jon Kasbe and Crystal Moselle's disappointing documentary MY ROBOT SOPHIA (17:41), which follows inventor David Hanson's attempts to build life-like AI. The film features a fascinating topic, but fails to delve deep enough into it to be worthwhile. Lastly, Evan reviews Jake Schreier's THUNDERBOLTS* (37:08) the latest Marvel film, which follows a ragtag group of anti-heroes led by Florence Pugh who must confront a powerful force: their traumas and darkest secrets. It's not your typical Marvel movie, and that's a very good thing because it has a lot of heart and soul. And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about the Coen Brothers' 1984 directorial debut, BLOOD SIMPLE!

Hey everybody, welcome to the Bonus Round of Season 1 of Cutting Class. As I mentioned at the end of Jen Dean's episode I'm doing something a little different with these bonus episodes and I'm hoping it proves to be interesting and of value to you: I'm speaking with non-editors about editing. People who work closely with editors and likely have never really expressed out loud some of their feelings about editing and editors. And first up is really top notch: Crystal Moselle is the celebrated director of The Wolfpack, Sophia, The Skate Kitchen and HBO's Betty. And though she is a director she does have some editing experience. Also since we talk a good amount about it, a little refresher: The Wolfpack is the 2015 documentary about the Angulo family, whose seven children were confined to their lower east side apartment by their overbearing father. They learned about the outside world through watching films. On one of their few breakaways from they home Crystal ran into them and struck up a friendship then began filming them for many years. The result was Crystal's debut film which ended up winning the Grand Jury prize at Sundance and was bought by Magnolia Pictures and the rest is history. Stay tuned for more of these bonus episodes.

This week we sit in a hot tub for the first time with musical composer and artist, Aska Matsumiya. Aska is at the end of her third trimester of pregnancy as we bathe. Her belly is full and ripe, and the baby is ready to come out any day. Aska shares her experience on approaching early motherhood for a second time, 20 years after the birth of her first and only daughter, Bebel. Immigrating from Japan to California with her family as a young lady, Aska remembers her experience of cultural and linguistic differences between the two nations from childhood through today. Since she was three, Aska's relationship with composition and piano grew as her own language, an alternative method of expression when words and socializing did not come naturally.Aska explains how her relationship with piano continued to blossom and guided her towards her dream of going to Julliard, landing her at American art schools in her early childhood education. However, when Aska was 15, she found authentic friendship in school with kids who were alternative, artistic, and exposed her to a foreign genre of music: Punk. Aska experienced her first punk concert that would bring her to drop out of high school, drop her dream of being a concert pianist, and join her own punk band with whom she would begin touring in a van. Yet, life quickly had a different plan: at 19, Aska was pregnant, inciting her to quit the band and embark on her next journey in life: motherhood.As a young mother, Aska describes how she dove into the musical culture of Seattle, playing in indie bands in the Sub Pop era. Her love of variant genres of music and doing odd jobs like working for fashion magazines, consulting for brands, or even playing piano for ballet classes helped to develop the skills, and give her experiences that would weave together to make her better at scoring films now. People come to her because she knows the patterns of classical music and simultaneously knows how to break all of the rules. People come to her to score films when they want something different.At 25 years old, Aska began her scoring journey through working with director Crystal Moselle, composing pieces for various fashion clips and then, her breakout film: The Wolfpack. ‘There Are Many Of Us' was Aska's first original song featured as the central theme song of Spike Jonze's film, ‘I'm Here'. Spike told her she could make things and that could be her work. This nugget was mind blowing, and helped Aska to transition from taking on all of the odd jobs she was piecing together, to focusing in on composing scores full time. Aska now incorporates her cultural identity with her Japan-based music production company: Black Cat White Cat Music, which she created with her brother. They curate musical artists from around the world to create original soundscapes and songs for Japanese commercials and productions. Aska explains cultural differences she has encountered in the Japanese business space. She explains that in Japan, trust comes from words. Whereas in America, everything is contracted. She describes how growing up in America has helped her and her brother create a bridge between Japanese culture and the world outside. Aska sees that the way people listen to music in Japan or Germany, resonates with the way that she likes to create music. She observes that Japanese culture is more comfortable with silence and space. She describes a Japanese word that doesn't translate to English conceptually or lexically: “Kue-issho.” She couldn't think of the word exactly in the bath, but later said that it is a Buddhist thought that means “you will eventually find yourself meeting up again with the one you wished for, in one place, and to keep that strength to seek the hope in destiny.”Aska and I first met through our mutual close friend Desiree, who passed away in a tragic and shocking surfing accident in 2015. Our individual friendship began through our shared mourning and loss of someone we loved. Aska shares how she composed an album as an expression of her grief for Desiree, but she never released it. Simply the act of creating it was cathartic. Surfing had been a passion that Desiree and Aska enjoyed together. Aska learned to surf from our collaborator and Tub Talks guest, Kassia Meador. Aska was scoring a surf film for Kassia, and it was in the experience of paying attentions to the details, the micromovements and how to play sound to the movement, that she became interested in experiencing it herself. When she asked Kassia about it, Kassia put all the necessary materials into her hands and took Aska into the water. Aska describes surfing as feeling like a child on a playground because it's playful. She understands how fundamentally important it is to feel joy so simply. Adults can forget how to have fun. Surfing elicits that joy in Aska's life. And this conversation inspires us to find these joys, and our passions, in ourselves. I hope you enjoy this deep soak with my friend in bloom, Aska Matsumiya!To join Secular Sabbath membership, you can find us at secular-sabbath.com/membership.

In May 1983, Sony released the first camcorder for domestic consumers, the Betamovie. This milestone in amateur filmmaking, 40 years on, prompts Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode to explore how home movies are depicted and used in feature film. Ellen meets academic Liz Czach to find out about the history of home movies, amateur filmmaking and and how its role has shifted in today's world of the internet and Tik Tok. John Wilson, creator of the hit docufiction show How To... With John Wilson, also joins Ellen to discuss how his early experiences with found footage, and the documentaries of Bruce Brown, impacted his approach to film. Mark talks to Canadian auteur, Atom Egoyan, about how the advent of the digital camcorder and our changing relationship to video technology influenced his early films. This week's viewing note is from the director of Skate Kitchen and The Wolfpack, Crystal Moselle, who recommends a film that utilises home movie footage. Producer: Mae-Li Evans A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4
A great talk with Crystal Moselle (director of The Wolfpack, Skate Kitchen/Betty) from a hotel room in Canada where she's on a shoot. We discuss her filmmaking style, the 3 Rs, avant-garde legend Taylor Mead, cloning, turning shorts into features and more. I also offer my take on Jeanne Dielman and Structural Films, plus a Power of the Dog review.
The immersive HBO series Betty follows an eclectic bunch of young women skateboarders navigating adulthood while fostering community within a bro-dominated environment. Based on Crystal Moselle's 2018 film Skate Kitchen, the show returned for a second season, and we think it's worth a look if you haven't checked it out.
Crystal Moselle got her start making documentary films like ‘The Wolfpack' and ‘Our Dream of Water.' Soon after, she took this visual following style with her to make fictional works like ‘Skate Kitchen' and now, HBO's ‘Betty.' In ‘Betty,' the series stars Dede Lovelace, Kabrina Adams, and Nina Moran. The description reads, " A diverse group of young women navigating their lives through the predominantly male oriented world of skateboarding.” In this interview, Crystal talks about researching the world of female skateboarders, how she follows inspirations to create look and feel of a show or movie, how she brings improv to the series, and how she shoots the new series like a documentary with purposeful imperfections.

Dan Martensen’s fashion and portrait photographs have an aesthetic of natural beauty. Often photographing on location and in rural environments, Martensen’s relaxed and collaborative approach creates images of genuine ease and spontaneity. Martensen studied photography at the Rhode Island School of Design and brings the qualities of an observational photographer—finding meaning within the scenarios that unfold in front of his camera—to his commercial work. With his clear talent for framing the experience of his encounters with his subjects, Martensen is a regular editorial contributor to magazines including i-D, Self Service, The Last Magazine, American Vogue, British Vogue, Vogue Germany, Vogue Paris, and WSJ. Magazine. His commercial clients include H&M, Mango, Jimmy Choo, Maybelline, Mugler, Nike, Prabal Gurung, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Zara, and special projects created for Alexander Wang and David Yurman. Since the early 2000s, Dan Martensen has been traveling and photographing across America and principally in the States of the Southwest. Martensen seeks out the visual paradoxes and embedded histories of the region, taking cues and his creative departure from the work of the legendary chroniclers of the American vernacular; William Eggleston, Joel Sternfeld and Stephen Shore. A selection of sixty photographs from this project is published in Martensen’s book Photographs from the American Southwest, designed by Berger + Wild. Martensen’s five-year photographic collaboration with the seven Angulo siblings—the subjects of Crystal Moselle’s feature-length documentary film The Wolfpack—was published in fall 2015 and designed by Dean Langley. Dan is based in both London and New York. Host: Jamie Neale @jamienealejn Discussing rituals and habitual patterns in personal and work life.

OCS fourmille de récits féminins puissants, des séries qui brillent par l’écriture de leurs personnages mais aussi par des thématiques ancrées dans notre époque. Voici donc une selection de 6 séries à voir sur la plateforme, dans lesquelles les femmes sont à l’honneur, à la fois devant et derrière la caméra. Olive Kitteridge On commence par une fantastique mini-série sortie sur HBO en 2014 : Olive Kitteridge, du nom de son personnage principal, raconte l’histoire d’une femme froide et distante dans un petit village côtier de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Mais lorsque le masque tombe, au contact de son mari ou de son fils, l'ancienne institutrice ne peut cacher ses douleurs, les démons qui la hantent et les affres du temps qui passe.. Portée par une Frances McDormand impériale, la série a remporté 3 Emmy Awards, dont celle de la meilleure mini-série. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S1CepUaGMI Betty On enchaine avec un petit OVNI sorti sur la plateforme en mai dernier. Direction New York avec Betty qui suit les aventures d’une bande de skateuses essayant d’émerger dans un milieu essentiellement masculin. Une vraie ode à l’amitié dans cette période si charnière du passage à l’âge adulte.

"Skate Kitchen" is a 2018 film directed by Crystal Moselle. Camille's (Rachelle Vinberg) life as a lonely suburban teenager changes dramatically when she befriends a group of girl skateboarders. As she journeys deeper into this raw New York City subculture, she begins to understand the true meaning of friendship. Dope ass movie with a dope ass cast of dope ass women~
This week's skateboard movie is Crystal Moselle's Skate Kitchen from 2018, about a teenage girl who befriends a group of female skateboarders in New York City by connecting with them via Instagram. It's inspired by the real group of female skaters who call themselves "Skate Kitchen", and features the group's members playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Also discussed: gatekeeping, poseurs, the member of the skateboard crew who films everything, parents (THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND), and getting credit-carded. This movie is much, much better than Police Academy 4.

She produced Skate Kitchen, a feature film written and directed by Crystal Moselle which premiered at the 2018 Sundance FF and was released nationwide by Magnolia Pictures. She is a producer on Betty, an HBO TV show, based on Skate Kitchen, currently in pre production on its second season. Additionally, she produced White Echo, the third collaboration with writer/director Chloë Sevigny. The short premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in the main selection. She produced One Cambodian Family made in conjunction with Refinery 29’s Shatterbox Anthology and TNT, starring Emily Mortimer.

In the sunny, suburban streets of Long Island, New York, a young woman carves her wheels into the pavement; an ollie here, a kickflip there, and a desire to fill the spaces in-between with something more, something substantial. In 2016, Crystal Moselle befriended a group of skateboarding women in New York City, and through the unique set of circumstances, developed into a creative partnership that would eventually land the group a show on HBO, entitled Betty (2020). What would ultimately propel the group to where they are now would be the precursor to it all; Moselle's first narrative created with the collective: 2018's Skate Kitchen. With a blend of organic imagery, authentic chemistry, and genuine heart, this film follows the path of Camille, a young woman in search of a place that she can call her own; where she does not have to fit into the mold of what her family, friends, and society pressures her to be. This film proves to be unlike any other in the skateboarding genre of films; it subverts expectations, approaches the genre with a poetic voice, and explores modern issues with a sense of earnest curiosity and virtuousness. *Spoilers around 49:00* Where to watch: Hulu (Stream US) Vudu (Rent or Buy) iTunes (Rent or Buy) Google Play (Rent or Buy) Amazon (Rent or Buy) Follow us on Instagram: @lefilmpodcast Send us your film recommendations: lefilmpodcast@gmail.com
Recorded 05/21 In this episode, I talk to Sophie Hochhäusl an Assistant Professor for Architectural History and Theory at the Weitzman School of Design, about the discourse on collectivity, dissent, and difference in architecture. We also discuss her work on modern architecture and urban culture in Austria, Germany, and the United States and the spatial histories of dissidence and resistance art, intersectional feminism, queer theory, and gender studies, as well as labor theory and environmental history. In our discussion, we commented on how the borders or the margins are spaces were resistance occurs and how these are spaces for dissent. We also talked about teaching the cannon and how to change the narratives we perpetuate in the classrooms, and how other media like children's books, like her own Pinsel, Paula and the chatting houses: Viennese architecture for small and tall people, could be helpful tools to teach architecture.

Normala människor är en av vårens stora TV-snackisar. Vad mer har stuckit ut? Anar vi en trend? Och vad kommer vi att minnas i framtiden? P1 Kultur ägnar sig helt åt TV-våren 2020. Vi fördjupar oss i några av de TV-serier som inte bör missas (lista längre ned). En trend är alla de bra ungdomsskildringar som visats och som en når en publik långt bortom den tänkta målgruppen. Joakim Silverdal och Melody Bahar Lovelin har valt sina favoriter och det har också P1 Kulturs programledare Roger Wilson gjort. SKATEBOARDSERIEN "BETTY" TAR BEGREPPET ÄKTHET TILL NY NIVÅ Ett av ledorden för den nya vågen av ungdomsserier är "äkthet", det finns en ambition att återskapa hur verkliga tonåringar tänker och pratar. Men få serier har tagit äkthetsidealet på lika stort allvar som "Betty", en färgsprakande serie i sex delar om en grupp kvinnliga skateboardåkare i New York. Filmjournalisten Karin Svensson har pratat med Crystal Moselle som skapat serie. DET STORA AVSKEDET TILL SPIONSERIEN FALSK IDENTITET En av de mest hyllade agentserierna någonsin har nu gått i mål med den femte säsongen som släppts under våren. Anna Tullberg har skrivit ett kärleksfullt avskedsbrev till Éric Rochant som skapat franska "Falsk Identitet". Ett tomrum har redan uppstått efter de smarta agenterna med kodnamnen Malotru, Phénomène, Cesar. Kommer vi aldrig mer att få träffa dem?

They chat about the much-awaited jazz drama "The Eddy" from the director of "Whiplash" and "La La Land", Damien Chazelle, and review HBO's indie show about female skateboarders trying to smash the patriarchy in their sport: "Betty" from director Crystal Moselle. It's a spinoff of her film "Skate Kitchen", featuring the same young actresses and avid skateboarders whom she discovered on the subway in New York.

A fascinating episode with Crystal Moselle, the director of one of the most interesting documentaries of the last decade, The Wolfpack. She’s on to discuss a film that has very little in common with her own work, at least stylistically, but one that she loves nonetheless; Jonathan Glazer’s Sexy Beast. She starts the conversation off by revealing that the protagonist of the film, the sunbaked retired gangster Gal, is her dream man. Crystal also talks about how she learned to trust her instincts after randomly approaching the subjects of The Wolfpack, the Angulo Brothers, on the streets of New York. She opens up about tackling every new creative challenge that comes her way. And lastly, Crystal discusses her newest project, HBO’s ‘Betty’ about a crew of skateboard girls in New York.You can watch Betty on HBO now.If you haven’t seen Sexy Beast…oooooh man it’s good!AND, if you want to check out April’s Staff Pick – watch Kathryn Bigelow’s Point BreakWith April Wolfe and Crystal Moselle
Director Crystal Moselle and skateboarder and actor Nina Moran discuss the new HBO series "Betty."
This week we had an amazing conversation with filmmaker Crystal Moselle. Cyrstal is a New York based director best known for her Sundance, Grand Jury Prize award winning documentary, The Wolfpack. In the past she was a producer on the critically acclaimed documentary film, Excavating Taylor Mead. In the last decade she has been working with short-form storytelling for publications such as Vice, Nowness and The New York Times, where she created a series called "Something Big, Something Small," featuring talent such as Pharrell Williams and Shepard Fairey. Later collaborations with Pharrell included, “Meet the Bae's,” a series profiling the artists back up dancers. Moselle's short film for Miu Miu, That One Day, premiered at The Venice Film Festival. The feature version of the film "Skate Kitchen" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2018. Her HBO series, Betty, is airing now. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/adultingwell/support
A “betty” is known as a woman who dresses like a skateboarder but doesn’t skate. Her sole purpose is to be a hanger-on in the often male represented skate community. HBO’s BETTY, a comedy created/directed by Crystal Moselle, takes this concept and kick-flips it on its head. We follow the all-female Stake Kitchen collective throughout their misadventures in New York City. The "Skate Kitchen" Cinematic Universe BETTY is a continuation-slash-reboot of 2018’s Skate Kitchen, with the origin story of Skate Kitchen getting remixed to fit the series. Camille (Rachelle Vinberg) served as the protagonist of Skate Kitchen. But in BETTY, the other girls - Indigo (Ajani Russell), Kirt (Nina Moran), Janay (Dede Lovelace), and Honey Bear (Kabrina Adams) - pull equal weight in character development. The first three episodes of the series lay the bricks of the girl’s arcs. The hard pivot of the story from the film takes a while to calibrate in your mind if you’ve seen the film before. But once it does, their love of skating paired with their story growth ends beautifully. At its core, the series works because it lets the girls from Skate Kitchen be themselves at their best. The originality of these characters - loosely based on the girl’s personalities - make the story engaging. The camaraderie of the group was the strongest aspect of Skate Kitchen. In BETTY, this camaraderie continues, albeit in smaller groups. The goal seems to give the girls space to get micro-moments together. But there’s an opportunity for later seasons to deliver the visual group shots we received in the film. More Girls Means More Skating There also needs to be more highlights of the girls skating in the series. Vinberg does the lion share of skating tricks, and it’s not due to lack of talent of the other members. Outside of casually gliding on their boards, we don’t get slow and sweeping vignettes from the other main casts. These are young women with enormous skill. To under utilize is unfortunate, and makes you hope for improvement if there’s a season 2. Effortlessly cool, BETTY grounds itself in its rebellious roots. The lives of skaters are one of intrigue and adventure. Adding the complexity and sisterhood of teenage girls to this mix elevates it to another level. With unpredictable but delightful moments, BETTY grabs a hold of you and takes you on this magical journey. Like what you hear? Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

First of all, huge thanks to the Electric Cinema in Birmingham for not only screening a preview of irresistible hangout flick Skate Kitchen, but for hosting a Q&A with director Crystal Moselle and some of the cast - not professional actors, but girls who genuinely hang out and skate in New York City under the name "Skate Kitchen", and whose daily lives form the basis of the film. A chance meeting on a train led to Moselle shooting a short film with them and ultimately this feature. Moselle has been here before: her debut, The Wolfpack, also came about due to her curiosity about a group of people she came across in New York, but that was a documentary, and Skate Kitchen is narrative fiction. Indeed, the narrative works to bring out the best of the setting and people, structuring the documentary aspects to avoid losing much focus while bringing out observations of these girls' lives that feel deeply authentic, pointed, and original. It follows a teenage skater with a rebellious streak becoming part of the Skate Kitchen collective, the changes to her life as she grows up away from home, and the inevitable conflicts between the girls and the boys who dominate the skate culture they want a part of. We discuss the nuances in the film's construction of a divorced family in which both parents are nonetheless present, and in which the child is given agency over her relationships with them; the wholesomeness of the girls' interactions, particularly with one of their dads; the dimensionality of the boys, particularly in terms of sexual desire and their interactions with girls - and the way the girls' bodies are displayed not as passive, simply intended to look sexy, but as active and really, really fucking talented. Watching them skate is, just like watching the horse breaking in The Rider - also played by non-professional actors using their real-life skills - a pleasure in which the film allows us to indulge deeply. Finally, Mike wants to apologise for the sound quality in this episode. He forgot to plug the mic in. Recorded on 17th September 2018.

In January 2010, against their father's instruction to remain inside.

This week, the vocal online dubiousness about Crystal Moselle’s debut feature documentary The Wolfpack started us talking about the difference between cynicism and skepticism, how both reactions help us select and react to movies, and when they become problems. Then the latest iteration of the “character suddenly smashed by an unexpected vehicle” trope has us discussing our least and most favorite movie tropes, from characters who inexplicably have sex while wearing underwear to the various proper reactions to massive explosions. Our game this week dredges up some of the lesser dinosaurs of filmdom, pre-Jurassic Park, and we wrap it up with an unusually polished edition of 30 Seconds To Sell.

Screen Talk came to Park City for the Sundance Film Festival this week. On Wednesday, Indiewire partnered with Airbnb for a live recording of the latest episode, which took place in front of a sold-out crowd at the Airbnb Haus on Main Street. Introduced by Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper, the episode opened with Kohn and Thompson discussing this year's festival buzz and their different approaches to prioritizing films over the course of the chaotic proceedings. Taking a cue from the Airbnb Haus' theme of "strangers meeting strangers," they reflected on the value of meeting new filmmakers and encountering fresh visions in the festival environment. Then, they spoke with Crystal Moselle, the director of "The Wolfpack," which is currently playing in the festival's U.S. documentary competition and was recently picked up by Magnolia Pictures. Moselle explained how she found the fascinating subjects of her movie, which revolves around a group of siblings forced to remain indoors for most of their lives while learning everything about the world from the movies. Finally, the hosts welcomed standup comedian and filmmaker Bobcat Goldthwait, whose documentary "Call Me Lucky" is also screening in competition. Goldthwait discussed the intentions behind his project, which focuses on outspoken political activist and comedian Barry Crimmins, as well as the role that Robin Williams played in getting the project off the ground. Goldthwait, who considered Williams his best friend, also discussed why he treasures his longtime friendship with the late actor. Later, Goldthwait elaborated on his newfound affinity for the independent film community. The episode concluded with an audience Q&A.
