    This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands.   This week we'll hear from the long-running independent collective Third World Newsreel, still thriving in an era some are calling “media carnage,” showing what it looks like to endure—and to resist. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

    What happens when Hollywood keeps saying no, but you refuse to stop making movies?Filmmaker and screenwriter Michael Rousselet shares the unconventional path that took him from USC film school to creating more than 1,500 Five Second Films and eventually co-writing and directing the cult comedy Dude Bro Party Massacre III. Michael breaks down what film school actually taught him, why failure is essential to becoming a better filmmaker, how constant production sharpened his craft, and why filmmakers need to stop waiting for permission and start creating with whatever resources they have.Michael also reveals how Five Second Films built an online audience large enough to help crowdfund a feature after traditional producers passed, how an independent financier came aboard after seeing their momentum, his screenwriting and outlining process, why terrible first drafts are necessary, and the realities of self-distributing an independent movie. He also tells the incredible story behind his connection to The Room and Tommy Wiseau. This conversation is packed with practical lessons for screenwriters, directors, producers, and indie filmmakers trying to turn ideas into finished movies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

    Matthew Toffolo chats with Natasha Mynhier, the director of a 20-minute sci-fi short film that premiered at the Sci-Fi Fantasy Film Festival. Natasha discussed her film, which explores themes of aptitude testing and AI in the future, inspired by real-world developments where companies like Microsoft use video game-based hiring exams to assess candidates. The film, shot in Los Angeles using a government building as a set, was made possible through Natasha's participation in AFI's Directing Workshop for Women Plus program, where she worked with cinematographer Hanna Plotzer to create a tension-filled thriller centered on a South Asian protagonist taking an exam that determines her future. The film serves as a proof of concept for a potential series, with Natasha emphasizing the importance of maintaining subjective storytelling while quickly establishing exposition in sci-fi narratives. https://www.wildsound.ca/videos/aptitude-audience-feedback https://www.instagram.com/natashamynhier —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

    Matthew Toffolo chats with Nathan Clarkson about their short film "Actof Contrition." Nathan explained that the film was shot in Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City, which posed lighting challenges due to its stained glass windows. He shared the inspiration for the story, which came from a desire to explore conversations between disparate characters, similar to his previous work. Nathan revealed that his brother composed the music for the film, as he does for most of his projects. He discussed the casting process, particularly the challenge of finding an actress who could convincingly portray a movie star, which led to casting Elizabeth Tate. Nathan described the filming technique, which involved performing long scenes in one take to maintain authenticity. The conversation also touched on the film's themes of humanity and the roles people play in life. Finally, Nathan mentioned that he is currently in pre-production for a Hitchcockian thriller, marking a new genre for him. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

    Matthew Toffolo interviews Francisco Passuelo about his documentary film "Luis at Home," a 10-minute short film that premiered at the LGBTQ+ Film Festival. Francisco, an Argentinian-Canadian cinematographer based in Vancouver, discussed his 10-year friendship with Luis, a Mexican immigrant who came out as gay after arriving in Vancouver 20 years ago. The documentary took 2-3 months to shoot and edit, with Francisco filming Luis's daily routine and conducting interviews to capture his journey of immigration, coming out, and cultural integration. Francisco explained his approach of filming naturally, including a 3-4 minute kitchen scene and scenes at Luis's workplace at The Two Parrots restaurant, while focusing on the loneliness and self-reflection inherent in an immigrant's experience. The film was well-received, and Francisco is now working on new projects, including a music video for an El Salvadoran artist and developing a new script for a fictional romantic queer story about a teenager. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

    In this episode of She's All Over the Place, host Katie Chonacas sits down with New York-based writer and director Jeremy Max to discuss his powerful new short film, BLEEDER, ahead of its World Premiere at the HollyShorts Film Festival.   BLEEDER is an intimate psychological drama that follows a man who earns a living by enduring brutal beatings, only to find himself confronting the deep emotional wounds he has spent years trying to outrun. Blending raw realism with surrealism, the film offers a profound exploration of trauma, masculinity, and the restorative power of human connection.   Jeremy shares the internal choices and creative journey that led him from NYU Tisch to crafting one of the most compelling short films of the festival circuit this year. He also dives into what it takes to build a dedicated filmmaking career and how this project serves as a proof of concept for an upcoming feature adaptation.   In this conversation, we explore: The inspiration behind BLEEDER and exploring the hidden emotional burdens men carry. Working with former professional boxer John Duddy ("The Derry Destroyer") to bring absolute authenticity from the ring to the screen. The collaborative process with Academy-invited producer Scott Aharoni (They Follow, The Chronology of Water) and cinematographer David Foy.

    Matthew Toffolo chats with filmmaker David Goog about his one-minute film, which has been accepted into multiple film festivals. David explained that the film, based on his personal feelings rather than a true story, centers on a first date where he judges his date based on her liking Ed Sheeran, reflecting on how people's tastes and fandoms can define their identities and create judgmental attitudes. The film was made for about £100 with his creative partner Jackie Tamayo, who also co-starred, and was shot in an authentic cafe setting. David discussed how the film resonates with audiences because it speaks to universal experiences of judgment based on likes and dislikes, particularly in today's social media era where everyone's preferences are publicly known. He expressed surprise at the film's success and mentioned his plans to create a larger project called "Chango" about an eco-revolutionary character, though he questioned whether he has the energy to direct a full feature film. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

    Dr. Thomas Noguchi was the chief medical examiner for LA County from 1967 to 1982. He oversaw the autopsies of some of Hollywood's most famous celebrity deaths, including Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, Natalie Wood, and John Belushi. Coroner to the Stars is a documentary showing parts of his amazing, and at times controversial, tenure as LA's coroner. We are speaking with the directors of the film, Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno. You can watch Coroner to the Stars on demand, for rent or purchase on YouTube, Amazon, etc. It is a fascinating look at one of the more interesting high-profile Asian American figures from that era; I highly recommend seeing it!

    Matthew Toffolo chats with filmmaker Aaron Penney about his short film "The Transition Room," which screened at the WILDsound Festival. Penney discussed the film's genre-bending approach, blending comedy, drama, and fantasy to address the sensitive topic of suicide. He explained the film's origins from a conversation about making a funny story on a dark subject. He also described the production process, including shooting in one day and the intentional use of color. Penney shared that the film has won numerous awards and that there are discussions about developing it into a feature. He also talked about the strong independent film community in Las Vegas and his upcoming projects, which similarly explore finding humor in tragic situations. https://instagram.com/onthesetfilms —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

    Send us Fan MailOriginally from Colorado, Aubree Estrella is a professional stills photographer/filmmaker with an emphasis in the music industry. Photographing cover images for publications such as NME Music, Guitar, touring with artists such as UPSAHL, xAmbassadors, and shooting both still and motion for Plague Vendor's two latest singles, Aubree has been creating visually stunning work while working with some very powerful musical acts. In today's episode, we dive into Aubree's early years in Colorado, playing soccer at a high level, sustaining an injury and being thankful she got hurt so we did not have to play anymore, how and why she moved to Los Angeles, CA, how photography entered her life, working within the music industry, being a woman in a mostly male dominated industry, battling mental health issues, finding her sobriety, the struggles of social media as a creative, clients wanting you to shoot both photo and motion for one price, and so much more.This was such a wonderful conversation about the ebbs and flows of the creative lifestyle within the music industry, the BS that is social media, and all the stuff in between. I hope all enjoy and please be sure to view her work. It is absolutely gorgeous! Follow Aubree Estrella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aubreeestrella/View Aubree's Portfolio: https://www.aubreeestrella.com/Follow The Failed Experiment on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_thefailedexperiment/Support the the Failed Experiment: https://account.venmo.com/u/kylecowlingFollow Kyle Cowling on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylecowling/Support the show

    “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” is a 2026 horror comedy film written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, following the success of their previous film, “I Saw the TV Glow.” Starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, the film combines a mind-bending structure and meta storytelling with Schoenbrun's signature exploration of pop culture and identity. However, unlike nearly everything the filmmaker has made before, this is as much a comedy as it is a strange, sexual, and visually stunning horror film. It had its world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it received rave reviews. Before its theatrical release, Schoenbrun spoke with me, while Einbinder and Anderson joined Cody Dericks to discuss their experiences making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters by MUBI on August 7th.
