Podcasts about DGA

Mark Kohl is an acclaimed Director and Cinematographer known for his bold, cinematic storytelling across television, film, and commercials. He's directed and shot over 130 episodes of America's Most Wanted, lensed features for Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope, and worked on major films like Lonely Hearts with John Travolta and Recount for HBO. Mark has also created over 2,000 commercials for top brands including McDonald's, Honda, AT&T, and Carnival Cruise Lines, earning numerous Addy and Telly Awards along the way. But behind the scenes, Mark faced a profound personal battle. At the height of his success, he lost everything to severe depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. His path to healing came through the powerful therapeutic use of Ayahuasca and psilocybin, which opened new dimensions of consciousness and helped him rediscover his purpose. Today, Mark is not only a celebrated DGA director but also the founder of Frequency House, a wellness and consciousness center in Topanga Canyon dedicated to helping others heal through plant medicine, intention, and spiritual connection. His story is one of remarkable transformation, a journey from Hollywood to healing, now inspiring others to awaken to their own potential. We discuss:  How alcohol and other substances are often used as coping mechanisms for deeper emotional pain. The vital role of consciousness and self-awareness in the recovery and healing journey. Why addiction is more than a physical struggle, it's rooted in loneliness, anxiety, and psychological patterns. How community, spiritual practices like kundalini yoga, and mind-body awareness support long-term transformation. The creative mind's vulnerability to addiction, and how experiences like ayahuasca can offer powerful breakthroughs.

In this special episode of On Production, we welcome back film finance expert Will French to unpack a headline-grabbing development in the film world. Following a recent social media post from President Trump proposing a 100% tariff on foreign-made films, Will offers an in-depth look at the potential impact and consequences for the domestic and global film industries.With decades of experience pioneering U.S. film tax credits and structuring finance for major productions, Will brings unique insight into the complex economics at play—from international labor costs and incentives to making the case on tax reforms that can truly bring production back to domestic soil. He explains the history of how production has shifted overseas in pursuit of more competitive tax rebates and lower costs, and how a tariff might—or might not—stem that tide.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

Charlotte Mikkelborg is the series director of the Adventure series on Apple TV, which is shot on Apple Immersive Video and co-produced by Atlantic Studios (formerly Atlantic Productions) and Apple. I think it has the strongest storytelling released by Apple so far, and it also has some of the most innovative and cutting edge shots that really show the power of the 180-degree format of Apple Immersive Video. In this conversation, we cover Mikkelborg's 10-year journey into working with immersive formats starting with 360-degree video, multi-sensory VR, and most recently 180-degree video. We also talk about the emerging grammar of 180-degree filmmaking, and the introduction of close ups, which I feel like work sometimes and other times feels almost too close or can feel a bit uncanny or jarring when changing scales or results in warping or other distortions. We also talk about some of the behind-the-scenes insights about the Adventure series. One concerning thing that I noticed after watching all of the Apple Immersive Videos released so far is that many of these videos do not contain any credits for who worked on these projects. I did an audit of all 22 of the published Apple Immersive Videos, and I found that 14 of the 22 don't have any credits at all,. Most of these are by Apple Sentity LLC productions, which is presumably Apple's in-house production team. I found that 5 out of the 22 have partial credits, including the four episodes of the Adventure series as well as Man vs. Beast, which features DGA director Ryan Booth. And there are 3 out of the 22 Apple Immersive Videos that have full and complete credits including Submerged that features DGA director Edward Berger, and the Prehistoric Planet Immersive series, which is a co-production with Fairview Portals. See the table below for more information: It is deeply concerning to me that only 3 out of the 22 Apple Immersive Videos seemingly have full and complete credits. Apple did not provide any comment about why this is or why some of these pieces have no credits, why some have partial credits, and why some have full credits. It is nice to see at least some credits on the Adventure series, which is a co-production between Apple and Atlantic Studios (formerly Atlantic Productions), but they're only listing the director, executive producer, and key talent while all of the other key creative talent are not being credited. Atlantic Productions did not provide any official comment about why there are only partial credits, while a few other productions have full credits and many other productions have no credits. You can see find a partial a list of some of the Adventure series creative talent on IMDB, and episode 3 protagonist Ant Williams posted a partial list of credits on his Instagram announcement post. I was able to get some additional context from Mikkelborg about the credits situation, and it does sounds like the co-productions likely have a bit more leeway in dictating what types of credits are shown. While the Prehistoric Planet Immersive series co-produced by Fairview Portals series has full and complete credits, and the Adventure series by Atlantic Studios only has partial credits. The two Apple Sentity LLC productions that do have credits also happen to be directed by directors who are a part of the Director's Guild of America (DGA). The DGA has specific credits requirements, "For feature films, the Director's screen credit must be accorded on a separate card, which shall be the last title card appearing prior to principal photography. This credit shall be no less than 50% of the size of the displayed title of the motion picture, or of the largest size in which credit is accorded to any other person, whichever is greater." The rules may be different for immersive productions or emerging media projects, but the director credits for Submerged and Man vs Beast seem to both meet DGA's credits requirements for film.

I'm kind of a history buff, and so I love all the wonderful history around Dallas-Fort Worth. I didn't know about this project until our media partners at the DGA featured it on the front page of their publication, a new project that is being developed in Denton: Historic Downtown Denton. I am bringing on two of the driving forces behind it: Jason Reimer, with the Texas Fine Arts Theater, and Brad Andrus, with Axis Realty Group.

C'est un procès très attendu qui s'ouvre ce mardi à Buenos Aires. Quatre ans après la mort de la légende du football argentin Diego Maradona, alors qu'il était en convalescence et était censé être surveillé 24h/24. Sept professionnels de santé sont jugés pour « homicide simple avec dol éventuel », caractérisé lorsqu'une personne commet une négligence tout en sachant qu'elle peut entraîner la mort de quelqu'un. Ils encourent entre 8 et 25 ans de prison.Un procès qui s'annonce d'ores et déjà hors norme, alors qu'il a été retardé par plusieurs renvois. Il devrait durer jusqu'à mi-juillet 2025, à raison de trois jours par semaine. Famille, experts, médecins : plus de 120 témoins vont se relayer à la barre pour tenter d'éclaircir les circonstances de la mort de l'idole argentine.À Buenos Aires, Théo Conscience nous relate cette affaire.Haïti : lynchage de deux présumés trafiquants d'armes et de munitions à MirebalaisGotson Pierre, le directeur de l'agence Alterpresse revient sur le lynchage de deux des quatre occupants d'une fourgonnette voyageant des Gonaïves vers Port-au-Prince, par des riverains à Trianon, une localité dans la commune de Mirebalais dans le département du Plateau central. À bord de leur véhicule, trois armes à feu, dont un fusil d'assaut, et 10 517 munitions dissimulées dans des boîtes de vêtements usagés.Cette saisie d'armes s'inscrit dans une série d'opérations du même type, ces derniers jours. Une opération menée par la Direction générale des douanes (Dga) de la République dominicaine, avec le soutien d'autres agences, a permis de confisquer 23 armes à feu.Malgré ce contexte extrêmement dégradé, les autorités de transition maintiennent pour l'instant leur calendrier électoral et prévoient donc la tenue d'un référendum constitutionnel en mai 2025, et un premier tour d'élections générales en novembre. Et pour y parvenir, elles comptent sur le soutien des pays d'Amérique latine. Une délégation de haut niveau, dirigé par Frinel Joseph, membre du Conseil présidentiel de transition est en déplacement cette semaine au Pérou et au Mexique afin d'échanger avec les responsables d'institutions électorales de ces pays autour du processus référendaire et électoral enclenché en Haïti, peut-on lire également dans Alterpresse.États-Unis : quelles ambitions pour le vice-président J.D. Vance ?Qui se cache derrière le troisième homme de la Maison Blanche, le vice-président J.D. Vance ? Lors de la conférence sur la sécurité organisée à Munich en Allemagne, le 14 février 2025, il avait ouvertement courtisé les partis d'extrême-droite et asséné que la démocratie était menacée en Europe.Achim Lippolda enquêté pour RFI sur le rôle et la place de ce J.D. Vance au sein de l'administration américaine. Celui-ci est présenté comme le bulldog de Donald Trump. Ce qui frappe en premier lieu, c'est la visibilité dont il dispose à la Maison Blanche, très différente de ses prédécesseurs.Traditionnellement, les vice-présidents s'effacent derrière leur chef, évitent la lumière des projecteurs pour ne pas lui faire de l'ombre. Mais J.D. Vance fait exception. Pour l'historienne Ludovine Gilli, interrogée par Achim Lippold, « on peut penser à Richard Nixon, le vice-président d'Eisenhower qui avait un rôle de chien d'attaque qui poursuivait les opposants de manière assez basse, ce qui permettait au président d'être davantage au-dessus de la mêlée, mais dans le cas de Donald Trump et J.D. Vance, ce dernier renforce le type de rhétorique et de comportement du président, son rôle est donc différent ».J.D. Vance n'a pas toujours été un fervent soutien de Donald Trump, il l'a même qualifié d' « idiot » et comparé à un possible Hitler américain.C'était avant la première élection de Trump en 2016. À l'époque, J.D. Vance s'est fait connaître avec son roman autobiographique Hillbilly Elegy, devenu un best-seller. Il vient d'un milieu très modeste, a servi dans l'armée, étudié le droit, puis fait carrière dans la Silicon Valley. C'est là qu'il se lie d'amitié avec l'investisseur Peter Thiel qui financera sa campagne pour le Sénat en 2021. Certains estiment d'ailleurs que ce milliardaire n'est pas étranger au virage idéologique de J.D. Vance, devenu un fervent national-conservateur et un allié de Trump à partir de 2016.Un dossier à retrouver dans son intégralité dans la version audio de ce podcast.Témoignage d'une victime des cartels qui s'est vu refuser l'asile aux États-UnisÀ la Une du Washington Post ce mardi 11 mars 2025, ce récit poignant d'un homme qui a subi la violence des cartels au Mexique et dont la demande d'asile a été refusée aux États-Unis.Il a souhaité garder l'anonymat par peur des représailles et est arrivé à la frontière avec sa chemise bien repassée, et ses chaussures en cuir bien cirées. Dans son sac, les preuves de ce qu'il avait subi, l'enlèvement par les cartels, son enfermement dans un placard, les actes de sodomie… Avec ses cicatrices toujours visibles sur son visage, ses poignets et ses jambes, il s'est avancé sur le pont qui relie la ville de Ciudad Juárez au Mexique à la frontière américaine. Il a tenté de convaincre les officiers de l'immigration présents sur place que sa vie en dépendait, mais c'était quelques jours après l'arrivée de Donald Trump, et plus personne ne passait. Le droit d'asile et le droit de protéger ceux qui sont persécutés dans leur pays est inscrit dans l'ADN des États-Unis depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, rappelle le journal, qui craint que l'arrivée du milliardaire n'empêche ceux qui ont des raisons légitimes de venir dans le pays. Les tribunaux sont déjà débordés et cela peut prendre des années avant qu'ils ne rendent leurs décisions, en attendant, les persécutions se poursuivent.Mexique : l'affaire de l'entreprise Vulcan dans le Yucatan refait surfaceUne autre affaire qui pourrait bien se finir devant les tribunaux, celle d'une entreprise américaine de constructions installée au Mexique sur une aire protégée. Dans une lettre envoyée à la présidente mexicaine, 35 sénateurs américains réclament la reprise de ses activités dans le cadre des discussions engagées avec Donald Trump sur les droits de douanes.Il s'agit de l'entreprise Vulcan dont l'un des terminaux est installé dans le Yucatan, en 2024, l'ancien président mexicain Andrés Manuel López Obrador a décidé de suspendre ses activités et de déclarer le lieu une zone naturelle protégée, rappelle la Jornada. La présidente Claudia Sheinbaum a répondu que l'entreprise n'avait pas été expropriée, mais que la société exploitait des zones en dehors de celles légalement attribuées, causant de graves dommages à l'environnement.L'avocat et défenseur de l'environnement Quetzal Tzab témoigne de ces dommages constatés par les personnes vivant alentour au micro de Ubaldo Bravo, de la rédaction en espagnol de RFI.L'actualité des Outre-MerBenoît Ferrand de la 1ère revient sur le crash aérien sur l'île de la Dominique, 45 jours après, les corps des quatre victimes doivent être rapatriés en Martinique.

Hollywood Unions (Rutgers UP, 2024) is a unique collection that tells the stories of the unions and guilds that have organized motion picture and television labor: IATSE, the DGA, SAG-AFTRA, and the WGA. The Hollywood unions represent a wide swath of the workers making media: from directors and stars to grips and makeup artists. People today know some of these organizations from their glitzy annual awards celebrations, but the unions' actual importance is in bargaining with the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on behalf of 331,000 workers in the motion picture and television industry. The Hollywood unions are not neutral institutions but rather have long histories of jurisdictional battles, competitions with rival unions, and industry-altering strikes. They have supported the industry's workers through the Great Depression, World War II, the McCarthy era, the collapse of the studio system, the rise of television, runaway production, fights for gender parity, the digital revolution, and a global pandemic. The history of these unions has contributed to making media work sustainable in the long term and helped shape the conditions and production cultures of Hollywood. Learn more about your ad choices.

On the sixty-sixth episode of The Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen and Max run through all categories for the 97th Academy Awards with their picks and predictions for how the night might go. The episode includes a heated debate about the use of AI in film, a shoutout to longtime Cinematic Odyssey listener Bowen Yang, and the most predictable Best Picture choice coming from the both of them. They also discuss snubs, techno, and Denis Villeneuve, in a semi-thorough awards preparation. 

Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang.   The Academy Awards are Hollywood's grandest night—the moment when months of speculation, surprise wins, and snubs all culminate in one golden evening. And this year, the road to Oscar glory has been anything but predictable.   Was Anora's big night at the Critics Choice, DGA, and PGA the ultimate confirmation that it's the Best Picture frontrunner, or is there still room for a shocking upset? Will Sean Baker walk away with Best Director, or could someone else—maybe The Brutalist's Brady Corbet or Emilia Pérez's Jacques Audiard—steal the moment? And what about Wicked, which just had a stunning, completely unexpected win for Jon M. Chu at the Critics Choice Awards? Could the musical blockbuster actually shake up the race?   From underdog stories to behind-the-scenes drama, tonight, we're unpacking all the Oscar buzz with film critic Smithsonian Associate Noah Gittell. Noah Gittell will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up…please check out our show notes today for more details. He's been following every twist and turn of this year's awards season, sorting through the narratives, the rumors, and the history that tell us where the Oscars might be headed. Plus, he's got the trivia and insights that will make sure you're the most informed person at your Oscars party.   It's a night of predictions, controversy, and maybe even a little Hollywood gossip. So, sit back and enjoy—this is going to be a fun one. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old – Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. My thanks to  Smithsonian Associate Noah Gittell. Noah Gittell will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up…please check out our show notes today for more details.

This weekend truly kicked off the Oscar race with the 1-2-3 punch of Critics Choice, the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild all announcing their winners in the span of 24 hours, including dueling ceremonies for the latter. On episode 274 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson is joined by AwardsWatch Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to break down what happened, how it happened and what's next. In a surprising sweep, Sean Baker's Anora took home the top prize at all three: Best Picture at Critics Choice (its only win), the DGA for Theatrical Film and the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures at the PGA. Erik, who was at all three events, offers his insight to vibe in the rooms, which felt muted at Critics Choice until the left field Best Director win for Wicked's Jon M. Chu (and the awkward Oscar-stat intro the category got), and the race from the DGA to the PGA that brought life back to everyone, making Anora the first film to win the Palme d'Or and DGA since 1955's Marty and pushing it (back?) to the top of the Best Picture race. But what does that mean for its star Mikey Madison? The young actress is the far and away critics' leader but so far has lost to Demi Moore (The Substance) in their first two face-offs, the Golden Globes and Critics Choice (ironically, or not so). With BAFTA and SAG looming, as well as the passion for Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here), Best Actress remains the most exciting race of the season. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h57m. We will be back next week with the very fresh BAFTA winners and a preview of the Screen Actors Guild. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

For Episode 429, I am joined by Dan Bayer and Cody Dericks to discuss the fallout of the Critics Choice, PGA, and DGA awards this week, which all went to "Anora," thus solidifying it as our official frontrunner for Best Picture at the Oscars. We also deliver our winner predictions for the BAFTA awards next week. We also reveal the winner of last week's poll, asking, "Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To From The 2025 Sundance Film Festival?" and ask this week's poll question, "Which Film Do You Want To See Become The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?"

They discuss how the DGA manages its relationship with SAG and the WGA; how the AI landscape has changed since its last CBA, including AI's use in the film ‘The Brutalist'; why the TV market is hurting directors; and what the DGA's role is in the Justin Baldoni–Blake Lively lawsuit (02:34).

On episode 273 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch contributors Jay Ledbetter and Josh Parham to go back 25 years and take a look at the 73rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 2000. The state of the new millennium say the Oscar get nostalgic as Ridley Scott's swords and sandals epic, Gladiator, took home the top prize of the night, alongside Best Actor and a couple wins in the technical categories. A giant hit from the summer, the film took down an international film sensation in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, two films from Steven Soderbergh in Traffic and Erin Brockovich, and the sleeper, delightful indie film Chocolat. Overall, it was a descent list of nominees and winners that represented a shift from the indie films that dominated the 1990s, and the more populist films that would become winners in the early 2000s. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 2000, briefly discuss talk about Gladiator as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h14m. We will be back next week for a recap the winners from Critics Choice, DGA and PGA as the Oscar race starts to narrow before final winner voting begins. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Erica's back with us, and her fresh perspective is the breath of fresh air we all need as we journey through the cinematic wonders of 2025. From the latest James Cameron's Avatar movie to groundbreaking projects by indie directors, we're exploring a colorful mosaic of storytelling magic. We even touch on the latest Academy Award nominations with a dash of humor, especially when Rachel Sennett and Bowen Yang turned an early morning announcement into a spectacle not to be missed.As the Oscar buzz echoes, we're diving headfirst into the chaos and controversy surrounding "Emilia Perez" in the Best Picture race. Awards bodies like SAG and the DGA are loving it, even if the public isn't quite so sure. The snubs are equally fascinating, and we couldn't help but voice our discontent over "Dune Part Two" being overlooked in some major categories. Our admiration for directors like Sean Baker and Brady Corbet keeps the conversation spirited as we ponder how the ranked voting might shake things up this year.Looking ahead, our anticipation for 2025's film releases is off the charts. Erica, Max, and I have a whole lineup that stretches from horror Westerns to neo-noir mysteries. Max shares his on-set adventures, while he reveals plans to get closer to the Hollywood action with a move to L.A. The discussion wouldn't be complete without a nod to TV and music, especially the upcoming season of "The Last of Us" and massive tours from top artists. Join us as we fuel your passion for film and pop culture in a year that promises to be unforgettable.Send us a textSupport the show
