Writer/director Peter Warren joins Filmmaker Mixer to discuss his SXSW film KILL ME, a gripping dark comedy thriller starring Charlie Day and Allison Williams. The film follows a man who wakes up in a bathtub with his wrists slit—but insists he didn't do it—launching a bizarre amateur murder investigation to prove someone else tried to kill him. In this conversation, Warren breaks down how he blended comedy, mystery, and deeply personal themes about depression to create a film that is both suspenseful and vulnerable. Drawing from his own experiences and years in Hollywood television and studio filmmaking, Warren explains how the project evolved into a whodunnit where the protagonist might also be the suspect.Filmmakers will learn about writing unreliable protagonists, balancing tone between comedy and serious subject matter, structuring a mystery, and transitioning from studio screenwriter to feature director.

Two Argentinian designers and lifelong friends, Sandra and Martina, are chosen at the last minute to travel to Milan during Fashion Week to present their collection in a competition for emerging Latin brands. Elated, they leave behind a Buenos Aires collapsed by floods, blackouts, and a deep economic crisis and set off for a city of dreams and catwalks.At first, Italy seems to be everything they imagined: attractive men, a rich culture, gelato... but the fantasy quickly crumbles when they lose their dresses and tension grows between them. Surrounded by haute couture, inflated egos, and unexpected obstacles, they must face not only fierce competition but also wounds from the past that have never quite healed.As the glamour fades, they realize that the real challenge is not to win, but to rediscover that which brought them together from the beginning: the passion to create and tell a story with every stitch. They will have to decide if they are ready to sew a new beginning. https://www.instagram.com/deleonmartin/ —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

"I think to be successful, you need to be able to tolerate all of the mixed emotions that come with backing yourself and putting yourself out there” – QJ.  In this episode, Quentin shares the very real emotions behind launching her own brand, House of Quentin Jones. From self-doubt and reinvention to ambition and instinct, it's a refreshingly candid conversation about evolving beyond the career that found you – and having the nerve to build the one you actually want. Quentin is a unique character and force who's straddled life both in-front of the lens as a model and then to behind, directing high profile campaigns for fashion, culture and luxury giants including Chanel, Adidas, Dior and Louis Vuitton – so, the move into founding her own brand wasn't an escape from a lacking career – it's an expansion of an already established one!Quentin reflects on, the power of luck and instinct guiding her trajectory, moving fluidly between disciplines, early success in filmmaking and photography, recognising the superpower of production and the questioning that led to a pivitol shift. This is an unfiltered conversation about risk, identity and the uncomfortable but powerful act of backing yourself. Buckle up! It's raw. It's real. And it's right on time!Quentin Jones is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker whose work blends collage, surrealism, and expressive hand-made processes. After years creating imagery for global fashion houses and directing acclaimed film projects, she founded House of Quentin Jones — a design-driven world where art slips into everyday life. She studied Philosophy at Cambridge before completing an MA in Communication Design at Central Saint Martins. Canadian-born, London-raised, and now Brooklyn-based, Quentin brings a multifaceted, eclectic sensibility to everything she creates.Follow Quentin @quentin_jones /  @house_of_quentin_jonesThoughts on the episode?

Geeta Gandbhir has made history as the first woman to receive Academy Award nominations for both Best Documentary Feature (for The Perfect Neighbor) and Best Documentary Short (The Devil Is Busy) in the same year. The Perfect Neighbor looks at the case of a 35-year-old Black mother of four who was fatally shot in 2023 by her white neighbor. The Devil Is Busy chronicles a day on the frontlines in the battle for reproductive rights at a women's healthcare clinic in Atlanta, Georgia.

She was raised inside what was framed as a sexually liberated utopia. And it took years for her to recognize it for what it was: a sex cult.In this unsettling and deeply thoughtful episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, Inka Winter shares what it was like to grow up inside a radical art collective that erased boundaries, blurred consent, and normalized control under the banner of free love.Inka breaks down how cult logic shaped her understanding of sex, power, and autonomy, and how those early experiences eventually led her to become an erotic filmmaker, sex educator, and founder of a feminist production company centered on consent and the female gaze.The conversation dives into porn literacy, sex education, fantasy versus reality, and why censorship and silence make people more vulnerable, not safer. Inka explains how the same control structures found in cults still exist in society today, especially in the way sex is regulated, taught, and restricted.Smart, disturbing, and necessary, this episode challenges how we think about sexuality, media, and who gets to decide what is acceptable.Want the unedited, uncensored live tapings + bonus Q&A where fans can ask questions?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Lisa Sabey and Alison Paine, two courageous mothers, share how they are using documentary filmmaking as a catalyst to revolutionize mental health education and care in the United States. What began as personal journeys navigating their own families' mental health challenges has evolved into a mission to transform how mental health is understood, taught, and supported across the country. These women are working to bridge the long-standing gap between clinical care and lived experience. While traditional mental health education often centers on diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, their films elevate real stories—raw, honest, and human. By centering lived experience, they are creating resources that resonate not only with professionals but with parents, educators, students, and communities seeking deeper understanding.     •Parents to Parents Website: https://www.parentstoparents.org/    •EDC/Zero Suicide site with the film Parents to Parents: After Your Child's Suicide Attempt: https://zerosuicide.edc.org/resources/resource-database/parents-parents-after-your-childs-suicide-attempt    •Matters Media:  https://mattersmedia.org/    •National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): https://www.nami.org/

FacebookTiktokInstagramBioDJ, producer, and influencer DJ SoulChild AC is preparing to release his debut album Douby, featuring the single “Eat It Up (Get Up)” with Juiiciana. The project brings together Black artists from multiple genres under his creative direction, showcasing a vibrant fusion of hip hop, R&B, Brazilian funk, and house music.Few can match the drive and resilience of DJ SoulChild AC. Years ago, while working at a local Target, he spent his breaks at a neighboring Guitar Center where a friend worked. There, he taught himself how to operate DJ equipment. As his confidence and skills grew, he began earning respect from other DJs. Within months, he entered a competition. Although he did not win, the experience pushed him forward. Just three months later, he was DJing in nightclubs and had discovered his calling.In 2017, he expanded into music production. Determined not to limit himself to DJing alone, he began learning how to make beats through YouTube tutorials, starting with Ableton as his first digital audio workstation. Beginning his production journey later than many of his peers only fueled his ambition. Inspired by legendary artists who found success on their own timelines, he remains confident that his moment is coming.The name DJ SoulChild AC was born from a late night conversation with a fellow DJ. The nickname SoulChild reflected his deep knowledge of classic music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, influenced by his mother's extensive record collection. Because the name was already in use overseas, he added AC to represent Atlantic City, the place that shaped him.His upcoming 15 track album Douby represents the culmination of months of focused work. The project celebrates the Black diaspora by highlighting Black genres and elevating powerful vocalists alongside his production skills. Among his favorite tracks are “Envy” featuring Nova The Rebel, “The Movement” featuring Jordan Isiah, and “Studio 54,” a pure house track inspired by his love for disco. He believes “Studio 54” has the energy to thrive in any house festival or club setting.Early feedback on Douby has been overwhelmingly positive. DJ SoulChild AC hopes the album will land on the Billboard Top 200, bringing greater recognition to his collaborators and opening doors for future partnerships. Unapologetically outspoken about his political beliefs, he previously lost DJ opportunities in New Jersey because of them. Now, he stands firm. This album is both a creative statement and a declaration of independence. If audiences want the music, they will get both the art and the artist.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Gille Klabin discusses Weekend at the End of the World, his follow-up to The Wave, and the deliberate choice to build a second feature that didn't require waiting for studio permission. Shot in 12 days on a sub-$300K budget, the film was designed around creative, logistical, and financial control. Gille reflects on the lessons he learned from The Wave's release, where traditional distribution left him frustrated by opaque marketing spends and limited transparency, and how that experience reshaped his approach to ownership, equity, and rollout strategy the second time around.Gille discusses the current indie landscape not as a lament, but as a tactical puzzle, and breaks down the realities of aggregators versus distributors, the economics of digital-first releases, and why he chose to prioritize transparency and direct recoupment over a conventional deal. Drawing comparisons to films like Shaun of the Dead, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, and The Cabin in the Woods, he discusses the balance of tone, heart, and genre - and how surprise and emotional whiplash can be a strategic storytelling tool.He also outlines a 50/50 equity split between investors and cast/crew, a flat-rate pay structure on set, and a belief that if independent filmmakers want a more just system, they have to build it at their own scale first. The conversation closes on preparation, resilience, and the long game: make the movie you can actually control, learn the business as deeply as the craft, and let your specific weirdness become the thing that carries you forward.What Movies Are You Watching?This episode is brought to you by BeastGrip.

He died Sunday at age 95. We listen back to archival interviews from 1996 and 2010. Also, the documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, whose approach was to choose a subject and capture it at great, revealing length, died Monday at age 96. His films include 'Titicut Follies,' 'Central Park,' 'Juvenile Court,' 'High School,' and 'Hospital.'
