Comic Book Creator and LEGEND!  (Recorded live at Tucson Comic Con Sunday, August 31, 2025) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Crow, Heavy Metal Magazine Born in Portland, Maine in 1962 Kevin Eastman began drawing at a very young age, copying children's books, and reading comics. Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self-publishing creators Richard Corben, creating his own characters and comics became an obsession. Born in Portland, Maine in 1962 Kevin Eastman began drawing at a very young age, copying children's books, and reading comics. Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self-publishing creators Richard Corben, creating his own characters and comics became an obsession. In the late 70's and early 80's, self-published “Mini Comics” became a main artistic outlet, and while soliciting illustration work from local fanzines in Northampton Massachusetts, he met like-minded creator Peter Laird and the partnership studio, Mirage Studios was formed. Less than a year later in the middle of a late-night drawing session, Eastman doodled a new character he dubbed a “Ninja Turtle” to make Laird laugh—several sillier sketches and a final drawing of four characters later “Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” had officially entered the universe! Self-published in May of 1984 the first issue sold out of its 3000 copies overnight and quickly became a fan favorite. Catching the eye of Merchandising Agents and Hollywood Producers, Eastman and Laird maintained full control of their creations while guiding them through Toy Licensing, TV Series adaptation, as well as Feature Films, and by early 1990 the TMNT's were number one in all three categories. In between TMNT projects, Eastman launched a creator friendly publishing company, “Tundra Publishing” where projects like “The Crow” “From Hell” “Madman” and “Understanding Comics” first flourished, as well as purchased and published the world renowned “Heavy Metal Magazine” for more than twenty-five years. In 2020 based on an original 1987 concept by Kevin and Peter, Kevin adapted and launched The Last Ronin with longtime TMNT Writer/Co-Writer Tom Waltz. The epic tale quickly became the TMNT publishing event of the decade, both a critical success, and a New York Times Best Seller. The series continued with The Last Ronin: Lost Years in 2023 and 2024The Last Ronin II: Re-Evolution. When not having way too much fun writing and drawing on new TMNT projects, he launched a new maxiseries with Image Comics entitled, Drawing Blood as well as companion limited series the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls, with co-creator David Avallone, and artists Ben Bishop and Troy Little.   Thanks to “THE BEST FANS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!” according to Eastman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continue to find their way into the hearts and imaginations of kids, large and small more than four decades later. Cowabunga! In 2025 Kevin, his wife Courtney and Team Eastman will be visiting comic conventions and signings around the world, ensuring they are always accessible and able to connect with fans as we all continue to Shellebrate the awesome legacy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Anthony D'Ambrosio is the writer and director of the new blockbuster film, Triumph of the Heart, a feature-length film about the passion of Maximilian Kolbe being released mid September.    Anthony shares the story behind the story of his creation of the film, and his ten-year struggle with a debilitating disease, the cure of which was made possible through the intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe - both in Anthony's life, and "coincidentally" the founders of the health center through which he was healed.   For more information on attending, hosting, or volunteering visit Triumph of the Heart

Recently announced as Ireland's selection for the International Feature Film category at the 2026 Academy Awards, Galway director Gar O'Rourke's quietly observational film ‘Sanatorium' captures the heart and soul of a remarkable holiday and health resort revealing a different perspective of life in Ukraine during the war.

“Nobody ever comes from nowhere.”  Award-winning director and producer Jaze Bordeaux shares his journey from finance to filmmaking, his rebel philosophy for creating outside the system, and his mission to bring big-scale sci-fi to life from Toronto. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael chats with Jaze Bordeaux—an award-winning Canadian director, producer, and storyteller whose career began far from the film set. From his early work in corporate finance to creating globally-recognized independent films, Jaze's path has been shaped by an instinct to move against the grain and a deep belief in building his own lane. Jaze shares the inception moments that shifted his life—from walking off a high school track field to pursue the people calling the shots, to a phone call from Alberta that sparked his move into the film industry. His 2023 film EFC defied the odds, winning more than 30 international awards while being produced entirely outside the traditional Canadian funding system. Now, he's leading a 10-year slate of six sci-fi thrillers, including Genesis—a massive, Inception- and Interstellar-scale original story he wrote about the future of thought as currency. He opens up about his collaborative directing style, his vision for Toronto's indie film community, and why patience, momentum, and resisting comparison are essential for creative rebels. Along the way, the conversation flows from coffee culture to the Toronto food scene, from humility learned through winning and losing everything, to advice for “rebels in waiting” about staying consistent and taking the long view. Quotable Quotes “Nobody ever comes from nowhere.”  “The one thing you can't buy is momentum.”  “Treat others the way you want to be treated. That's the golden rule.” Episode Highlights From Finance to Film | Jaze's transition from corporate finance to producing and directing. Defying the System | How EFC was made entirely outside the Canadian funding model. The Inception Moment | Why seeing Interstellar crystalized his directing path. Genesis | The upcoming sci-fi epic about thought as currency in a future AI-driven world. Collaboration Over Dictatorship | How Jaze works with actors, DPs, and crew to elevate the vision. Toronto as a Film Hub | Why the city's growth and talent make it a global film player. Life Lessons | The track-and-field race that taught him to stop comparing himself to others. Rebel Advice | Patience, momentum, and focusing on your own path over chasing instant success.

enVision Together: Going to Out Next Level of Best podcast, welcomes author, David Gregory. He is the New York Times' bestselling author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, which sold half a million copies, The Last Christian, a Christy Award finalist for best Christian fiction, and ten other books. Three of his books have been made into feature films. A Dallas Seminary graduate, international conference speaker, and former radio broadcaster, David is a leading voice seeking to bring the message of Christ to a new generation in unconventional ways and usher the worldwide church into a deeper experience of Christ in them. His fiction writing career came knocking at his door when he penned a brief novella, intending to print a few hundred copies to hand out to people and share the message of Christ in what he hoped was an entertaining and engaging way. Instead, the book fell into Random House's hands and became a New York Times' bestseller. Unsurprisingly, they wanted more, and he's been writing ever since.

In this episode, Carlo welcomes back cinematographer Matheus for a deep dive into the making of their independent feature film Gazer. They reflect on the film's unexpected success in the festival circuit and its upcoming theatrical release—an increasingly rare feat for original, non-IP-based indie films. Matheus shares insights on the film's unusual production journey, which spanned two and a half years, often shot nights and weekends without permits or a full crew, and emphasized empathy, collaboration, and efficiency on set. They discuss how Gazer was crafted largely on 16mm film with a minimal setup and a lean, passionate crew, embracing imperfections and learning to let go of perfectionism. Matheus emphasizes the value of over-communicating with actors, having a service-oriented mindset, and staying true to the director's vision rather than chasing aesthetic perfection. He also details how the surreal “nightmare” sequences in Gazer evolved visually and narratively, blending practical effects with bold stylistic choices like film pushing, color grading, and minimal lighting. The episode is a celebration of scrappy filmmaking, artistic growth, and the deep relationships formed through making something personal and challenging outside the studio system.Follow Us!Matt Bastos:  ⁠Instagram | ⁠WebsiteBUY TICKETS FOR GAZER: TICKETSCheck out Gazer: IMDB Carlo: ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠The Creative Gap:⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ |⁠ ⁠Youtube⁠⁠SUPPORT THE PODCAST ON⁠ ⁠PATREON⁠____________________________________________________⚙️ GEAR USED TO MAKE THIS PODCAST:Rodecaster Pro II: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RluSeV⁠Rode Podmic: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RpaR77⁠Mic Stand: ⁠https://amzn.to/4caJUfi⁠Camera 1: ⁠https://amzn.to/45h5E7b⁠Camera 2: ⁠https://amzn.to/45g8iKx⁠Light: ⁠https://amzn.to/3KK6XSt⁠

In this episode, Carlo sits down with cinematographer Frank for an in-depth conversation about his journey through the film industry. Frank shares how his path into filmmaking was unconventional—he didn't grow up with a background in film, nor did he have a clear sense of the industry when he began. His entry came through school and a growing curiosity, eventually leading him to pursue cinematography with a deep passion. He moved to Los Angeles during a recession, taking on low-paying or free gigs and even sleeping on a couch just to be close to opportunities and grow within the craft.Throughout the interview, Frank reflects on the range of work he's done, from music videos to commercials to narrative films. He's worked with high-profile artists like Beyoncé and Harry Styles, but admits he still gets nervous on set, showing a genuine humility and love for the process. For Frank, the act of shooting—regardless of scale or budget—is where he feels most at home. He talks about the importance of creative relationships, especially with directors he's grown with over the years, emphasizing that long-term collaborations often yield the most rewarding results.Carlo also dives into Frank's recent work on Arcadian, a feature film starring Nicolas Cage that premiered at SXSW. Frank shares the challenges of shooting internationally, working with new crews, and the thoughtful collaboration required between departments like production design and cinematography. He explains how working within limitations—whether on location or on a stage—can often inspire more grounded and cohesive visual storytelling.To close, Carlo asks what advice Frank would give to his younger self. Frank responds with encouragement to be persistent, resourceful, and willing to take risks without expecting immediate payoff. His story is a testament to passion, patience, and the kind of quiet determination that turns dreamers into working filmmakersFollow Us!Frank Mobilio:  ⁠Instagram | ⁠WebsiteCarlo: ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠The Creative Gap:⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ |⁠ ⁠Youtube⁠⁠SUPPORT THE PODCAST ON⁠ ⁠PATREON⁠____________________________________________________⚙️ GEAR USED TO MAKE THIS PODCAST:Rodecaster Pro II: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RluSeV⁠Rode Podmic: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RpaR77⁠Mic Stand: ⁠https://amzn.to/4caJUfi⁠Camera 1: ⁠https://amzn.to/45h5E7b⁠Camera 2: ⁠https://amzn.to/45g8iKx⁠Light: ⁠https://amzn.to/3KK6XSt⁠

This week we talk with our friend, Independent writer/director Chris Ott. We discuss the beggining of the film making journey. What's it like to begin with an idea and look up at the tall task ahead of you. How do you approach raising money, transitioning from crew to being in charge, and the hopes for a project that is in it's earliest stages.  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWWj2CaS-1Q Join the Misfit Parade: https://www.misfitparade.com/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/messedupmoviespod Watch our newest short film Sugar Tits Now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz7leFqqo4g Follow Chris's Journey: Instagram: @seaotter117
