Margo is joined by husband-and-wife directing duo Jason & Blue Gerber, an award-winning team working across films and commercials. Their creative synergy has led them to direct for brands like Walgreens, 7UP, Chipotle, Intelligentsia, and LOEWE, while also producing heartfelt storytelling work for organizations such as The Boys & Girls Clubs, Athletes Unlimited, and Lincoln Park Community Services. Their short film Otis' Dream, about voter suppression, was shared by Oprah as an official Super Soul Sunday short film, and their commercial and nonprofit work has been recognized with industry honors including a Silver Telly Award. Together, Jason & Blue bring both tactful precision and deep feeling into everything they create, evoking imagination and authentic human narratives as one voice. In this conversation, Margo, Jason, and Blue dive into the power of collaboration, storytelling that heals, and the journey of their new feature documentary, Dawn Dusk. Margo, Jason & Blue discuss: From college pals to co-directors: how their friendship at Columbia College Chicago grew into a collaborative career. What it takes to truly direct as a duo—prep, trust, communication, and playing to each other's strengths. Choosing projects that center the human spirit, resilience, and creativity. How a short five-minute idea evolved into the four-year feature documentary Dawn Dusk, following artist Chelli Look's journey of grief and healing through her leather goods business, CHC. The role of composer Silas Hite's score as the “unseen narrator” guiding the emotion of the film. Why experimentation, patience, and deep listening are essential for creative work that connects. Lessons from navigating both commercial and narrative filmmaking, and how storytelling always comes back to empathy.

PJ Accetturo went from traditional filmmaker to running a seven-figure AI video agency, creating viral content that's been viewed millions of times. He breaks down exactly how filmmakers can adapt to AI tools without losing their creative edge. This episode covers the specific workflow, tools, and mindset shifts needed to capitalize on what PJ calls "the biggest gold rush of all time." Key Takeaways AI tools like VO3 and ChatGPT can be learned in days, but filmmakers have a huge advantage because they already understand story, pacing, and what makes content compelling The opportunity is massive right now—PJ says it's "very easy to build a seven-figure agency" because brands need AI content but most agencies haven't adapted yet You don't need to abandon traditional filmmaking; many successful approaches involve pairing experienced directors with AI specialists to create hybrid workflows The key to viral AI content is being funny, self-aware about using AI, and creating content that surprises and delights audiences rather than boring them About PJ Accetturo PJ is a seasoned innovator in the TV and advertising space, having served as CEO for multiple media companies and bringing over 15 years of industry experience. He first gained recognition at 18 when National Geographic showcased his work, setting the stage for a career creating content for global powerhouses like Toyota, Red Bull, The Atlanta Braves, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As a commercial director, he spent over a decade working with some of the world's biggest brands. In 2019, PJ demonstrated his knack for audience engagement by growing a YouTube channel from zero to one million subscribers in six months. He then turned his sights to long-form storytelling, raising millions to produce his original animated series, Ghosts of Ruin, where he served as writer and Executive Producer. That project saw him collaborating daily with an Oscar-nominated director, a two-time Emmy-winning showrunner, Hans Zimmer's music team, and an A-list voice cast featuring Rosario Dawson, Justin Long, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Tony Revolori. Motivated to shorten production timelines and reduce costs, PJ is spearheading new processes with generative AI. With a commitment to ethical data training, he is now working to create world-class media with AI-powered workflows. In This Episode  [00:00] Welcome to the show!

Very easy, very quickly." - PJ Accetturo "Winners only... to anyone who's not wanting to adapt quickly, like displacement's coming." - PJ Accetturo "Your greatest skill is that we know how to get exposure on a camera and frame a good shot, like that's going to be tough to build a business off of. But if you can know more strategy and understand story structure... that's our unique advantage." – Ryan Koral "Everyone in the AI industry that has attention right now, most of them are not traditionally filmmakers... but the opportunity here, if everyone doesn't know is like whether you yourself are a traditional filmmaker for 10, 15 years, you can learn the tools in a few days, two weeks max." - PJ Accetturo Guest Links Find PJ Accetturo online Follow PJ Accetturo on Instagram | X Check out PJ's newsletter - AI Filmmaking Links  FREE Workshop Available "How to Consistently Earn Over $100k Per Year in Video Production While Working Less Than 40 Hours Per Week" Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we welcome director RT Thorne making his feature film debut with his movie 40 Acres. Making its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, 40 Acres is now available on Demand and DVD. After a series of plagues and wars leaves society in ruins, the Freemans are surviving — even thriving — on a farm in the middle of nowhere... so long as they repel the occasional raiding party. Former soldier Hailey (Danielle Deadwyler) and her partner Galen (Michael Greyeyes) fled the collapse along with their children, training them to fight (and, yes, kill). But now Hailey's eldest Emanuel (Kataem O'Connor) is a young man, and when he meets a young woman (Milcania Diaz-Rojas) in the forest beyond the fence, his need for human contact could place the whole family in jeopardy.

Donegal-born visual artist Myrid Carten has made her first feature-length film, ‘A Want In Her', chronicling her mother Nuala's mental illness and alcoholism journey. She offers a behind the scenes look at how her mother, who was once a social worker, then became a street drinker and how their mother-daughter relationship was affected.

This week I went to Belfast to chat to Myrid Carten, whose debut feature film has been called 'extraordinary', 'raw' and 'searing' by Variety. I saw the documentary some weeks ago and was really moved by it. It tells the story of Myrid's relationship with her mother Nuala, and the impact Nuala's alcoholism and ill mental health has on them. It's beautifully made, unlike any other documentary I've seen on a subject like this, which many of you know is close to my heart. My own biological mother was also an alcoholic who later in her life was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I wanted to learn more about the film, how she approached it, and the challenges of making a piece of work that is so close to you and your family. I hope you enjoy.A Want in Her is in cinemas next Friday, October 10th.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.Come to the Catch Up Cabaret (ish) - get your tickets here.

Instagram Youtube TikTokBioRising from San Diego's ocean cliffs with a genre-bending sound, 3rd Borough is preparing to release their new single Blood Like Yours on September 25, 2025, ahead of their full-length album The Human Quest. Backed by a Halloween-themed documentary and vampire-inspired visuals, the track positions the band at the crossroads of indie pop rock, hip-hop grit, and cinematic storytelling.First conceived in 2015, Blood Like Yours began as a late-night idea between band founders Justin Werner and Apaulo8 (Paul Kipling). “This song was actually written back in 2015. Paul was living down in Imperial Beach, and I was in Claremont. We decided to create a Halloween-themed trilogy. The first song we came up with was ‘Blood Like Yours,'” says Werner. The process was fast and instinctive: “The song pretty much wrote itself in about 45 minutes,” he recalls.Originally born from electronic beats and a minimalist setup, the track has since transformed into a full-band performance. “Over time, it evolved into this indie pop rock sound,” Werner explains. Each member of 3rd Borough adds their own layers: Mark Boyce brings blues and gospel textures, bassist Ibo Rodriguez contributes a broad perspective shaped by formal training in Puerto Rico, Apaulo8 infuses hip-hop and rap elements, guitarist Dono Fox (Donovan) delivers technical precision, and drummer Arkhota (Argel Cota) provides versatile rhythms. “It's a melting pot of influences that make the sound unique,” Werner notes.For Apaulo8, the track's impact lies in its balance. “Music for us is about yin and yang. We want positive messages, but we also embrace darkness. That balance lets us create something edgy yet lighthearted. For Blood Like Yours, we drew inspiration from The Lost Boys movie—something fun but haunting, appealing to kids and adults alike.”The single also comes to life visually with a vampire-themed music video and a Halloween documentary. “It covers the whole process: how we created the music video, interviews with band members, the making of the album, and behind-the-scenes footage,” Apaulo8 explains. For Werner, revisiting vampire mythology was a chance to refresh a timeless archetype. “Vampires have been portrayed as romantic, monstrous, murderous—it's evolved. With Blood Like Yours, we leaned toward a romantic take. It's basically a love song in a Halloween costume.”Though the single may stand out as a seasonal anthem, the band stresses that their forthcoming album, The Human Quest, goes much further. “The Human Quest is about the ups and downs of being human. Blood Like Yours stood out—it felt powerful, like a hit, so we pushed it as a single. The album itself spans many genres because some songs were written 10 to 15 years ago,” Apaulo8 shares. Werner adds, “We believe in divine timing. Unlike bands that write 50 songs and pick 12, we wrote around 20 and chose the best by intuition.”For Apaulo8, the most rewarding moment comes with “the final product, after all the revisions, when everyone is happy and we hear that polished version.” Werner's favorite part is the connection with listeners: “For me, it's when someone hears the finished song for the first time and appreciates it. That's why we do this, because music can inspire others.”With The Human Quest on the horizon, 3rd Borough hopes listeners find both individuality and unity in their music. “We want it to be personal, yet unifying,” says Werner. “Everyone feels something different, but we all move to the same rhythm. That's the beauty of music.”About 3rd BoroughFrom San Diego's moonlit cliffs, 3rd Borough creates a powerful blend of indie pop rock and hip-hop's raw energy. Founded in Ocean Beach, the six-member collective—Justin Werner, Apaulo8 (Paul Kipling), Ibo Rodriguez, Mark Boyce, Arkhota (Argel Cota), and Dono Fox (Donovan)—weaves anthems of longing and rebellion. Their sound fuses soaring melodies with gritty beats, shaped by a wide spectrum of influences. Their upcoming single, Blood Like Yours(September 25, 2025), leads into their full album The Human Quest and a Halloween 2025 documentary. A nocturnal tribe with sharp lyrics and haunting melodies, 3rd Borough invites listeners worldwide to join their journey across all major streaming platforms.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Send us a textFive conversations. One weekend that proves short films can carry more than most features. We sat down at the Gig Harbor Film Festival with filmmakers who turned everyday pressure into unforgettable cinema—starting with a travel-phobe who literally becomes a shoe. That hybrid live action-animation pivot wasn't a gimmick; it was a smart, budget-aware way to visualize dissociation, sharpened by a one-man animation army and razor-sharp improv that had audiences grinning at micro-expressions and airline absurdity.We then move into a quiet chill that lingers: a brother and sister return home in The Graves, where delayed grief sneaks up like a reflection you'd rather not catch. Built from a deeply personal experience, the film embraces constraint as design—an Airbnb with character, a ghost born from a flashlight test, and sound that makes broad daylight feel haunted. The lesson travels beyond festivals: think audience-first, from thumbnails to retention, because distribution is a creative choice.Around a campfire, I Hope You're Happy maps the stages of grief onto friendship under the shadow of the opioid crisis. Tight writing, Zoom rehearsals, and a score woven from a diegetic ukulele tune create an “earned silence” when credits roll—proof that intimacy and careful sound can carry weight in minutes. Float and Fly lifts that intimacy into the sky with community-fueled aviation: first-time actors, wing-mounted cameras, and Gig Harbor vistas that remind you how place can become subtext for healing and courage.Finally, An Old Friend delivers a cathartic twist: an imaginary friend assigned to a man at the end of his life. The crew let improvisation breathe, then sculpted time in the edit with sound design that thins the world to breath and memory. With a shelf of festival awards and an Oscar-qualification push underway, the team shares the unglamorous truth—DCPs, captions, qualifying runs, and the real costs behind a campaign—while still savoring packed rooms and new colleagues made along the way.If you love craft talk, practical hacks, and stories that punch above their runtime, press play.

Cast & Brew, 10min., Spain/USA Directed by Priscilla Zanni Bertran Cast & Brew is a comedy about an AD trying to manage a film set where coffee has been delayed, and the lead actor, Bruce, refuses to do any takes without his coffee first. Chaos erupts when Craft Services informs the AD and Producer about a worldwide collapse in the coffee supply chain. On the meantime, Bruce demands his detailed coffee order while the director pushes for rehearsals. The scene inside the film happens in a Western field where Bruce proposes to his girlfriend, Sara. He is grabbing her in his arms and as soon as she accepts his proposal, he lets her fall to the ground claiming he lacks the muscle strength without his coffee. The Producer then reveals the truth about the coffee crisis, leading to Bruce quitting the film. This sparks a huge chaotic montage ensues with crazy physical altercations. https://www.instagram.com/priszanni/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? "Cast & Brew" came to me in a New York coffee shop. From my window seat, watched people hurrying by, each holding a giant cup of coffeeIt struck me: not a soul without one, just a whirlwind of rush and stress.And I thought to myself "how attached are we to that coffee and why?". "What would happen if coffee would completely vanish?"  My hope is that audiences recognize how fast-paced our society has become, where every minute not spent being productive feels like you have committed a crime. We're constantly rushing, and when we add caffeine into that mix, we only accelerate the loss of ourselves.  We lose the purpose of why we do things. I find this concept of obsession and lost of reality very interesting and I have discovered that I actually love to explore that in my films. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? It took a year. Script took me a week to make 1st draft as a visualised it all in that coffee shop in New York. I knew exactly what I wanted the film to be from beginning , middle and end.  Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Filmmakers at the Inthrive Film Festival [powerpress]

"Anemone" is a psychological drama film directed by Ronan Day-Lewis in his feature directorial debut, from a screenplay he co-wrote with his father, three-time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis, who also stars in the lead role. It features the latter's return to acting for the first time since "Phantom Thread" in 2017, alongside Sean Bean and Samantha Morton. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival and received positive reviews for the performances, dark atmosphere, striking cinematography, and haunting music by Bobby Krlic. Day-Lewis (the son, not the father) was kind enough to spend time speaking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 3rd by Focus Features, and then expand a week later on October 10th. Thank you, and enjoy!

In today's episode, Mark shared insights about his latest independent film, We Could Be Heroes, which is raising capital via a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder.At its heart, We Could Be Heroes is a heartfelt story about chosen family, set against the backdrop of a quirky comedy-crime plot. “Family is what you make of it—it's not necessarily what you have or don't have,” Mark explained. The film follows a 14-year-old gamer girl and her neurotic, wannabe-detective neighbor as they team up to solve a mystery. While the premise is lighthearted and fun, Mark emphasized the deeper emotional message, adding, “At the end, it's heartfelt, it's sincere, it's honest.”Mark's journey from Hollywood actor to independent filmmaker is inspiring in its own right. Having appeared in popular shows like Justified, Teen Wolf, and 9-1-1: Lone Star, he has taken his years of experience on set and channeled them into creating films that resonate on a personal level. “It has to be a story or a message that really, really sticks with you,” Mark said, reflecting on the challenges of making independent films with modest budgets.Through crowdfunding, Mark aims to bring We Could Be Heroes to life while engaging directly with supporters. With a budget of $1.1 million, including equity raised through Wefunder, the film is positioned to maximize impact with a lean, smart production approach. “We're essentially saying we're making a three- to four-million-dollar movie for less than a million,” Mark explained, highlighting the importance of resourcefulness and creativity.Beyond its entertainment value, We Could Be Heroes is designed to connect with audiences emotionally, especially young gamers. “There are 3.2 billion gamers worldwide,” Mark noted, emphasizing the film's potential to draw a global audience.For those interested in supporting We Could Be Heroes, you can find the campaign on Wefunder at s4g.biz/heroes. Joining this project isn't just an investment in a film—it's a chance to help bring a meaningful story to life.tl;dr:Mark Elias shared insights into his journey from Hollywood actor to independent filmmaker.We Could Be Heroes tells a heartfelt story about chosen family, wrapped in a fun crime-comedy plot.The film is being funded through a Wefunder campaign, empowering supporters to help bring it to life.Mark described “hustling with honesty” as his superpower, enabling him to overcome challenges creatively.He encouraged collaboration and resourcefulness, inspiring others to embrace persistence in their pursuits.How to Develop Hustling with Honesty As a SuperpowerMark Elias described his superpower as “hustling with honesty,” a combination of persistence and authenticity that drives his filmmaking and career. “I'm always going to be transparent,” he said. “If you're on board, I love it—if not, I get it. I'm not going to stop until I make this thing.” Mark's relentless drive is grounded in his genuine desire to connect with others and tell impactful stories that resonate emotionally.One anecdote that exemplifies Mark's superpower is how he approaches challenges during film production. He shared that when a key location for a shoot fell through, he and his team quickly pivoted, identifying the essential qualities the location conveyed and finding a cost-effective alternative on the fly. “It's about never taking no for an answer,” Mark said. This resourcefulness, paired with his unwavering commitment to completing the project, showcases his ability to hustle through obstacles.Mark also shared tips for developing hustle as a personal strength:Stay Transparent: Be honest about your goals and challenges to build trust and authentic connections.Embrace the Process: Don't let initial setbacks deter you—use every “no” as a step toward “yes.”Empower Others: Collaborate with your team, encouraging their creativity and input to foster a shared vision.Stay Positive: Lead by example by maintaining an upbeat attitude, even during high-pressure situations.By following Mark's example and advice, you can make hustling with honesty a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Stories about wilderness range from life-saving transformations to devastating failures, and often, the loudest voices online lean toward fear and controversy.That's why I'm so excited to be joined by filmmakers Mark Strauss and Vince Dixon, co-directors of the upcoming documentary Forest for the Trees: The Truth About Wilderness Therapy. With lived experience of loss, addiction, and healing in their own families, Mark and Vince share why they felt compelled to create a film that tells the whole story: the good, the bad, and everything in between.As a parent who's walked this road myself, I can't tell you what a relief it is to hear someone say, “Let's look at the whole truth.” Because when you're facing impossible choices for your child, what you need most is understanding, not judgment.In this episode on the truth about wilderness therapy, we discuss:Vince's journey from losing his sister to fentanyl poisoning to creating films that spark healing conversations;Why Mark and Vince believe wilderness therapy is misunderstood and often misrepresented;The importance of showing all sides of wilderness stories: positive, negative, and complicated;How parents' desperation and deep love factor into the decision to seek treatment;Why this documentary is being made now, and how you can get involved in supporting it.Resources mentioned in this episodeYou can learn more about ‘Forst for the Trees' on their website, Instagram or Facebook.Learn more about 'Sometimes I Imagine Your Funeral' on their website, or Instagram.Learn more about Mark's film 'The Funeral Photographer' on their website.Looking for support?

An ancient realm awakens. Somewhere between the living and the dead, a long forgotten forest begins to blossom. An exploration of loss, rebirth, and what awaits after death. A music driven short film that relies on imagery and sensation to convey meaning and suggest narrative. Even After (Prelude) was produced through digital paintings methodically rendered into photographic images with AI, custom small AI model creation for additional visuals, and original musical composition. The process used to create this film can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/y5VfbGxK1Iw https://www.instagram.com/anthony_leckie/ Director Statement I create music-driven short films that blend sculpture, painting, and AI to explore the inner landscape of self and the nature of a greater reality. My process begins with hand-sculpted digital characters and environments rooted in classical and Renaissance traditions. These are transformed into richly detailed, photorealistic visuals using AI tools — not to replace the artist's process, but to enrich it. I'm committed to exploring how AI can be used ethically in artmaking: not as a shortcut that erases creative work, but as a tool that preserves and amplifies the voice of the artist within a deeply intentional process. Original musical composition is the driving force of each piece. Rather than relying on dialogue or sound effects, I craft immersive scores that act as both the emotional anchor and the sonic identity of the world — shaping tone, pacing, and meaning. The music is not background; it is the pulse and spirit of the story. My films explore themes of death, transformation, memory, and the otherwordly. They often unfold in liminal and mythic spaces — haunted forests, vanished towns, thresholds of the afterlife — carried entirely by music, imagery, and movement. Blending conventional techniques with influences from silent film, experimental cinema, and works like Fantasia, my work exists between narrative and abstraction. It invites audiences to feel before they understand — to experience story as sensation — while redefining what cinematic language can be.

Throughout the 80s and 90s, filmmaker Arlene Sidaris and her late husband, director Andy Sidaris, released a dozen movies under the philosophy of the three Bs - Bullets, Bombs and Babes. Films like Malibu Express, Savage Beach, and the immortal Hard Ticket to Hawaii showed the Sidaris's combining sexy playmates with huge explosions and tropical locations for some of the most enjoyable movie watching experiences around. These were the glory days of USA Up All Night and hundreds of B movies at the video rental store. Arlene tells us how the movies were made, behind the scenes stories, their current upgrade to 4K, and tons more. There's never been anything like a Sidaris movie. That era is long gone, but it was sure fun while it lasted!  Shop | Malibu Bay Films: The Andy Sidaris Collection The Hustle Podcast | creating podcasts | Patreon

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Courtney Glaudé.

In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker and musician Ben Joseph Stewart, a true pioneer in the conscious art space, to explore how story, symbolism, and film shape the way we see the world. We dive into the power of story as the oldest human technology (older than science, older than data) and why myth, metaphor, and narrative influence our consciousness more than raw facts ever could.Our conversation spans everything from the chaos and beauty of cymatics, to the pitfalls of conspiracy culture, to what it means to live in alignment with humility and boldness. Ben offers a refreshingly grounded take on accountability, explaining how real transformation begins not by blaming “the system” but by embodying our own power, values, and love in everyday life.If you've ever wondered how films, myths, and archetypes can rewire your reality—and why story is the invisible architecture of culture—this episode is one you won't want to miss.
