Matthew Toffolo interviewed Véronique Paquette, a Canadian filmmaker who directed a 5-minute animated dance film about Argentine tango created at the National Film Board of Canada in Montreal. Véronique discussed her 20-year career in animation before directing her first professional film, explaining how she combined her passion for tango dancing with her animation skills to create a unique black-and-white film that explores natural movement and intuition. The film took five years to complete due to personal circumstances including having three children during the process, and Véronique collaborated with a tango choreographer and dancers to create reference footage before animating the final work entirely herself using traditional ink-on-paper techniques with computer animation software. WILDsound praised the film's sound design and artistic merit, noting how it represents a counter-trend to AI-driven animation by emphasizing human expression and natural movement. https://www.instagram.com/verovic_paquette/ —— 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.

This interview discusses Cameron Moon's short film "The Yard," a 9-minute Christmas romance shot entirely on a smartphone at a garden center location. Cameron, who plays Santa in the film, collaborated with cinematographer Gary Rogers and actress Emily to create a traditional Christmas story with an LGBTQ+ twist. The film was shot in November at a Christmas-decorated garden center, with Cameron finding the location through a contact he knew, and the production involved an organic approach to casting and crew, including using local artists for the poster and credits sequence. Cameron explained his filmmaking philosophy of keeping crews small and maintaining collaborative environments and discussed his upcoming project "Sudade," a silent thriller over 40 minutes long that combines multiple cinematic styles. https://www.instagram.com/cameron_moon_/ —— 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.

Danish filmmaker Mads Mengel joins Past Present Feature just before his world premiere of The Guest in the Crystal Globe Competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Since this recording, The Guest has gone on to win the festival's Special Jury Prize, while Mengel received the Best Director Award. We discuss how the film grew from a simple question into an intimate family drama shaped by years of writing, collaboration, and refinement.Along the way, we explore contained storytelling, the Danish filmmaking model, building a visual language around performance rather than coverage, and why practical limitations often lead to stronger creative decisions. Mads also reflects on the films and filmmakers that shaped his love of cinema, including Magnolia, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Lord of the Rings, 12 Angry Men, and The Conversation.At its core, our conversation is about making more with less, trusting the people around you, and discovering that limitations often become your greatest creative advantage.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Tess Martin is a Rotterdam-based film and visual artist working across animation, installation, and expanded cinema. Her practice explores how time, memory, and place can be revealed through handcrafted animations and site-specific works.Raised across shifting cultural contexts, her work reflects an ongoing interest in how belonging and identity are formed through perception, relation, and memory. Many of her projects exist simultaneously as films and installations, often incorporating sculptural elements and soundtracks to create intimate time-based experiences.Her work has been presented internationally in both film and exhibition contexts, including festivals, museums, and artist residencies across Europe, North America, and Asia.In this episode, we discuss Tess' film 1976: Search for Life.*Errata - I mistakenly identified Holst's Jupiter as the "Surprise" symphony when it's actually Haydn's Jupiter. Holst did write a Jupiter for "The Planets," but it isn't the same piece. Mozart also wrote a Jupiter, but it's not mentioned except here for clarity.

WILDsound interviewed Mark Kaplan about his personal documentary film "Revealing Raymond," a 15-minute film about uncovering his father's hidden past. Mark discovered home movies from the 1950s featuring his father Raymond when he transferred old VHS tapes to digital format, which sparked his motivation to create the film after learning about his father's traumatic childhood through Ancestry.com research. The film uses rare 8mm home footage, census records, and personal photos to tell the story of Raymond's childhood as an orphan during the Depression, his terminal illness that lasted six years, and the emotional impact on Mark as a child. Mark also reconnected with his father's niece through DNA testing after making the film, establishing a new family connection. The interview concluded with discussion about Mark's recent retirement from teaching at Parsons School of Design after 25 years, and political commentary about the upcoming US elections. —— 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.

WILDsound interviewed Keenan about his 11-minute documentary "History of the Grand Strand" focusing on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which won a Best Historical Documentary award. Keenan, who is from Myrtle Beach, created the film as his first directing project following advice from John Carpenter to just "do it" and take charge of filmmaking. The documentary features over 200 historical photographs from Jack Thompson, a 90-year-old local photographer who moved to Myrtle Beach in the 1950s and won a state civilian award during filming. The film highlights how Myrtle Beach has changed over the years, including the demolition of iconic landmarks like the Ocean Forest Hotel designed by the Washington Monument architect, and covers the city's founding story including its naming contest in 1912. Keenan plans to expand the project into a six-part 30-minute series covering more historical interviews, hurricanes like Hazel and Hugo, and additional archive footage, with future episodes featuring family members of prominent local families and continuing Thompson's story. —— 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.

This interview discusses Katherine Connor Duff's short film "This Little Picky Goes to Market," which is the final installment in her "Voyeur" trilogy exploring modern performance and social media culture. Katherine explained how the film follows Penelope, an OnlyFans foot model who loses subscribers and faces online harassment, examining themes of social media's impact on creators and the treatment of individuals online. The discussion covered the film's 70s cinematic influences, including directors like Mike Nichols and Roman Polanski, as well as the challenges of modern content creation and the "witch burning" phenomenon where online creators are quickly torn down after being built up. Katherine discussed her careful approach to filmmaking with WILDsound's Matthew Toffolo, having written 30 drafts over six months for this project, and her plans to screen all three films in her trilogy at AFI in December. The conversation concluded with discussion of potential distribution strategies and Katherine's future projects, including a possible feature film or new series about American industry.

Filmmaker and activist Baroness Beeban Kidron has been warning of the digital dangers facing young people for over a decade, and has played a central role in establishing standards for online safety and privacy across the world. In this episode, she talks to Carl Miller about the technologies designed to capture our attention and the algorithms that can quickly leave children exposed to harmful content. They discuss the unchecked power of Big Tech, as powerful companies avoid rules and regulations, and capture governments that are meant to protect us. But the problem is not the technology itself, but what we've allowed it to come. They explore what positive change could look like, and how we can collectively impose democratic pressure to ensure we make safe the technology that will be alongside us now, and in the future.  Baroness Beeban Kidron is a member of the UK's House of Lords and a former film director. Her new book, Users: How Big Tech Took Control and How to Fight Back is available in bookstores and online now.  Carl Miller is an author and researcher at Demos.

What starts as a spontaneous idea during a cold morning outside a locked office eventually becomes a life-changing adventure stretching across an entire continent.In this episode, filmmaker Mark Phillips shares the incredible story behind The Walking Fool, a documentary chronicling his attempt to walk from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. What began as a personal challenge quickly evolved into a decade-long journey involving failure, perseverance, self-discovery, and ultimately a second attempt that forced him to confront unfinished business. Along the way, Mark reveals the realities of filming a documentary while living on the road, balancing personal experience with storytelling, and documenting an adventure that was never originally intended to become a feature film.The conversation explores independent documentary filmmaking, audience building, crowdfunding, low-budget production, storytelling, and the unique challenges of turning years of footage into a compelling narrative. Mark discusses what he learned from quitting halfway through his first attempt, why he returned years later to finish what he started, and how modern filmmakers can use community engagement and social media to build audiences long before a project is complete. Equal parts travel adventure and filmmaking masterclass, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the most powerful stories emerge when a creator simply starts moving forward.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
