Christmas can be a hard time of year for folk, especially writers...Anyway, here we are, taking a look at Lynne Ramsay's MORVERN CALLAR: her second feature film about a young woman, her fiancé, her pal, and a quick trip to Spain in the New Year. You're probably thinking to yourself, "This sounds like LOVE ACTUALLY or something," but let's be real, this is LYNNE RAMSAY we're talking about here. It's dark, it's unforgiving, it's strange, and it looks really nice... Merry Christmas, everyone!

Steven Bernstein sits with John Williams, Heather Kofka, and Christopher Shea for a luminous, craft-first conversation on the art of filmmaking. Bernstein traces his path from cinematography to the director's chair, reflecting on Monster, Last Call, Decoding Annie Parker, White Chicks, Half Baked, SWAT, and Blade, and why the most enduring work begins with human chemistry.They unpack the family that forms on set, the ache of wrap day, and how to protect performance when time and money press in. Bernstein explains why intuition often beats orthodoxy, how executives chase safety while art asks for risk, and why story should serve character, not the other way around. He shares practical tools for actors and directors, from freeing marks and lighting to invite truth, to building backstory that unlocks authentic choices.The table dives into post control, color grading, and the quiet power of tone, then pivots to Bernstein's novel GRQ and its meta leap to the screen. It is a talk about collaboration, presence, courage, and the strange alchemy that turns effort into feeling. If you love the work behind the work, this one is a masterclass that hums with lived experience.Keywords: Steven Bernstein, filmmaking, cinematography, directing, acting craft, color grading, creative process, indie film, Monster, Last Call, Decoding Annie Parker, GRQ, John Williams, Heather Kofka, Christopher Shea, In the Room

In this powerful and introspective episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with award-winning filmmaker, director, and lifelong creative Jordan Crafton for one of the most vulnerable and inspiring conversations of the season. From his early years as a restless kid searching for belonging, to finding artistic refuge in jazz and storytelling, to becoming a Tribeca Film Festival winner and sought-after visual creative, Jordan's journey is a testament to perseverance, faith, and relentless belief in purpose.Jordan opens up about how the arts first saved his life, offering him a sense of expression he couldn't find anywhere else. As he shares, creativity was the one place he felt fully understood. That spark carried him through years of uncertainty, experimentation, and self-discovery. But it wasn't talent alone that shaped him. It was discipline, faith, and the courage to build a life outside of the expectations placed on him. The conversation navigates Jordan's experience as a Black creative in an industry marked by both opportunities and contradictions, and how he continues to redefine his artistic identity through every chapter of life.One of the most compelling sections of the episode dives into the season of transition Jordan is currently walking through. He opens up about reconnecting with the younger version of himself, the one who believed without hesitation, dreamed without limits, and saw obstacles as invitations instead of barriers. Through that rediscovery came one of his most meaningful pieces of work: the Brooklyn Santa fiction podcast, a project born from fasting, prayer, and a deep need for clarity when his career hit a period of unsettling stillness. For Jordan, returning to vision meant returning to God's voice, not the noise of the industry.Listeners also get a gripping look into how Jordan landed his earliest major opportunities, including his long-running creative partnership with Nick Cannon. The story is filled with resourcefulness, persistence, and boldness, from mailing DVDs and critiques to chasing connections across New York. What emerges is a clear portrait of someone who refuses to wait for permission to pursue destiny.Throughout the episode, Jordan and Luis explore themes like creative discipline, identity, purpose, and the unseen emotional layers behind ambition. They reflect on working out as a mental health anchor, how childhood gifts often shape adult calling, and why faith continues to be the stabilizing force behind Jordan's decisions. With candor and humor, Jordan breaks down the misconceptions of success and shares how his commitment to staying grounded has kept him aligned with who he wants to become.Some of the episode's standout highlights include:Jordan's reflections on faith, fasting, and spiritual alignmentHow fearlessness shaped his early filmmaking experimentsThe discipline routines that keep him sharp, creative, and focusedLessons from working alongside major artists and entertainersWhy Brooklyn Santa became a turning point in his creative purposeNavigating ambition without losing integrity or self-awarenessListeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of what it means to pursue artistry with intention, how to stay committed when life plateaus, and why purpose often requires returning to the childlike belief we abandon along the way. Jordan's story isn't just a behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment world. It's an invitation to examine your own calling, your own doubts, and the gifts you may be overlooking.To stay connected, follow host Luis Guzman on all major platforms under I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman.

A Note from James:Tye Sheridan is one of my favorite actors. You might know him as Cyclops in the X-Men movies (Apocalypse, etc.) or as the lead in Ready Player One—which is not only a great movie but also one of my favorite sci-fi books. One of his first films was Mud with Matthew McConaughey.What I didn't realize: since 2016, while still acting, Tye has also been a serious AI entrepreneur. He and Nikola Todorovic co-founded AI-powered VFX/CGI company, Wonder Dynamics, now an Autodesk company, that built AI tools to make visual effects more accessible.I wanted them both on to talk about how AI will change filmmaking—potentially letting someone like me make a movie that would normally cost hundreds of millions because of VFX—and, just as important, how Tye balanced being a movie star and an entrepreneur at the same time. I also wanted Nikola's take on where AI is going and whether it will take jobs. Fascinating conversation ahead—here are Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic.Episode Description:James sits down with actor–founder Tye Sheridan and VFX director Nikola Todorovic to unpack how their company's AI tools (now part of Autodesk) are changing what small teams can pull off—and what that means for studios, budgets, and actual stories. They trace the path from stitching 360° GoPro rigs and a VR proof-of-concept… to a first demo for Steven Spielberg… to a platform that lets indies do big-look work without big-studio burn. You'll hear clear, non-hyped answers on where text-to-video fits, why they focus on editable 3D over black-box 2D, and a candid take on the only moat that still matters: writing something people care about.What You'll Learn:A workable cost model for VFX-heavy projects: where 10× savings can come from—and where they can't.How to run “lean” on real productions: recruiting cross-disciplinary talent and sequencing funding without chasing hype cycles.3D pipelines vs. text-to-video: why pros need full control of lighting, camera, and performance—and how Sora-style tools can still complement the workflow.Story first, always: the audience forgives limited budgets—not lazy scripts.A pragmatic future for studios and indies: expanding voices without erasing human actors or craft.Timestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] “Hollywood is nervous”: James frames the AI anxiety he's hearing in studio rooms.[00:03:01] A note from James: why Tye's career (from Mud to Ready Player One) made him the right guest—plus Nikola's VFX roots.[00:06:03] Tree of Life to tech startup: meeting on set, Chivo's influence, and early curiosity about tools.[00:13:46] DIY 360° & the Spielberg audition: the VR demo, a $10k experiment, and a first product pitch to Steven.[00:20:12] The question everyone asks: will AI erase studio jobs—or expand what smaller teams can make?[00:24:00] Distribution changed—financing didn't: presales, streaming, strikes, and why a bigger shift is still coming.[00:27:12] Reality check on budgets: VFX vs. SFX, and how a $100M effects bill could land near $10M.[00:36:02] Running lean + real backers: Founders Fund, MaC VC, Horizons; hiring for overlap (CV/ML/VFX/eng).[00:37:44] From waitlist to workflows: who used the platform first, and a TV case where weeks became days.[00:42:12] Sora vs. 3D pipelines: where text-to-video fits—and why pros avoid black-box 2D for final shots.[01:00:45] “A decade of procrastination”: the founders joke about building a company to avoid writing their own film—then set sights on making it.Additional Resources:Tye Sheridan — filmography and roles (Ready Player One, X-Men).

This week, we're honored to welcome Alex Maier and Amy Robin, the creative force behind Wilderness Mindset, a Montana-based outdoor filmmaking company devoted to nature-inspired storytelling. What began as a deeply personal journey on the Continental Divide Trail has evolved into something far greater—a mission to capture the transformative power of wilderness through the lens of a camera.Alex and Amy take us on a journey through their transformation from individual adventurers to filmmaking partners documenting others' epic quests. Amy describes that pivotal moment when she nervously texted Alex about hiking the CDT together to create a mental health documentary—a question that would change both their lives. That initial leap of faith sparked what would become a lifelong partnership, both personal and professional, centered around the belief that when we explore the wilderness, we take a look within ourselves.In this episode, we explore the profound philosophy behind Wilderness Mindset, the challenges of building a passion-based business from scratch, and how their work on the Mississippi Speed Record documentary revealed the shared belief system among adventurers. Join us for a deep and moving conversation about finding purpose through nature, the courage it takes to look within, embracing synchronicity as a guide, and what it truly means to stay wild.

AI is revolutionizing cinematic lighting control with Beeble AI's Switchlight. Founder Hoon Kim explains how his tool, originally a general AI concept, became a powerful VFX asset by tackling the difficult process of relighting. Switchlight "unlights" any video footage to figure out the fundamental physical properties, like the shape (normals) and texture (metalness/roughness) of objects, and then uses this data to apply new, photo-realistic lighting instantly and securely. The desktop application is quickly becoming indispensable for both small production teams and major studios who need precise creative control over their shots. The conversation reaches a pivotal point when host Chris, an expert in real-time rendering, mentions his work with the real-time ray tracer Vantage, leading to mutual excitement about integrating their technologies. Switchlight provides the control that other generative AI tools lack, and Hoon sees its PBR data as a perfect control signal for future generative video models. They agree the tool's true value is creating "relightable footage" that can be manipulated layer by layer, just like in professional compositing software. This technical precision promises to blend the creative freedom of AI with the consistency and detail demanded by professional filmmaking.   Beeble AI Official Website > Hoon Kim's LinkedIn Profile > Google Research Total Relighting paper > Paul Debevec's Parthenon project (2004) > Chaos Vantage (real-time ray tracing) >   This episode is sponsored by: Center Grid Virtual Studio Kitbash 3D (Use promocode "cggarage" for 10% off)

Original Release Date: Monday 24 November 2025    Description:   This week, Dean and Phil will begin to slowly roll out the new era of Chillpak Hollywood, releasing much more content each week. Phil provides details at the outset. Then, he and Dean engage in much show biz “water cooler” discussion. The most famous modernist home in the world is up for sale for the very first time. Dean and Phil talk about the house, its history, and some of the movies that were filmed there. Warner Bros. is also up for sale, apparently (again!), and Dean and Phil both discuss it and sort of lament it! A loyal listener is very upset about the film Bugonia, so Dean and Phil revisit their debate about the film's director, Yorgos Lanthimos. The lack of box office this year for accomplished and acclaimed films aimed at adults gets discussed broadly, with two of these films (the Channing Tatum vehicle Roofman, and the recent spy thriller Black Bag) going under the microscope. Finally, two classic films get re-appraised and celebrated anew: Rian Johnson's Brick on its 20th anniversary, and the rollicking 1966 western The Professionals. Finally, one of Phil's all-time favorite actors, indeed one of the greatest figures in Japanese cinema history, gets remembered in "Celebrity Deaths".

An ode to a classic of French New Wave cinema – Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (A Bout de Souffle) – Nouvelle Vague is more than a heady film nerd love fest. It's a Linklater movie, which means it's a hangout film; it's just that the gang we're hanging with happens to be reinventing modern cinema, whether they know it or not. We've got writer, actor, and teacher Tarik R. Davis (The Amber Ruffin Show) with us to talk about the petite charms of this Cannes premiere.

You know when one of your reviews is "I'm not sure if Kenneth will break into song at any moment", you're either getting something that's gonna be awesome or bordering on disaster. This film is a mixed bag, which is ironic, because MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN, directed and starring Kenneth Branagh, is about a mad scientist who takes a bunch of dead bodies, stitches them together and brings them back to life. It's a tale as old as 1818, as they say. If the dazzling lights of contraptions pulsating, buzzing, and electrifying don't grab you, Kenneth's washboard definitely will!

Renee Story and Chloe Ray are a dynamic mother–daughter filmmaking duo. When Renee's mom became sick, Renee was her caretaker and the two spend countless hours watching comedies together.  She loved following Renee's work as a literary and talent manager, as well as her granddaughter Chloe's adventures in the acting world.  After she passed, Renee wanted to honor her legacy, and so their production company Two Other Trees was formed, celebrating three generations of women. In addition to producing their own projects, Renee and Chloe are on a mission to help other creators navigate the challenges of production and get their stories told.  Their exciting new comedy pilot, Noble Homes, just premiered at this year's Austin Film Festival. On this episode, Renee and Chloe take us behind the scenes of Noble Homes, talk about what it takes to make a limited-budget project succeed, and share their personal journeys—how they found their paths and what drives them today.

When his filmmaking career stalled during the pandemic, Toby Lockerbie turned to the one place that had never stopped inspiring him: the Universe. With no background in visual effects, he taught himself the tools needed to transform complex space science into cinematic stories using everyday objects and beautifully crafted visuals to make the Cosmos feel human. His channel, Epic Spaceman, now reaches millions and has earned multiple Webby Awards for its innovative approach to visualizing scale, awe, and accessible science. This week on Planetary Radio, Toby joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to discuss the creation of Epic Spaceman, how visual metaphors can change how we understand the Universe, and why awe remains one of the most powerful tools for science communication. Then we welcome Bruce Betts back for What’s Up, where we reflect on the end of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Akatsuki mission to Venus.

We talked to performer and filmmaker, Tina Detchon! We talk to our buddy Tina in this delightful chat ranging from improv to filmmaking to the unwritten subway rider etiquette of ignoring people so they don't have to talk for too long. She reflects on her journey through improv and filmmaking, drawing insights from her experiences at the Groundlings and working in TV and Film in LA, and discusses balancing grounded and silly elements in performance. Tina also talks about her creative process for her short film 'Pillow Talk', which Jason is in! She also goes over filmmaking steps from conception to execution, and shares how she realized she could apply discipline from one area of her life to creative endeavors. It's such practical advice!

This week we leave The Shire behind to embark on our journey through Middle Earth and the epic fantasy genre!In the spirit of Lord of the Rings, we've divided our miniseries into three parts, and we're starting today with Part 1: The Road to Mordor. And that road begins with, you guessed it, Ray Harryhausen!Peter Jackson's trilogy would not exist without the sword-and-sandals stop-motion action of Harryhausen – so as we voyage towards Mordor, we must first trek the scorching sands of Ancient Greece, where harpies fly, gigantic statues terrorize, and gods try to kill us out of boredom!

Mike talks with Caleb Alexander Smith and David Krumholtz about Forelock, a dark, biting satire set on the margins of Hollywood. The film follows Caiden, a drifting ex-athlete pulled into the bizarre world of boulevard impersonators and small-time hustlers by Randy, a disillusioned veteran of the trade. Together they chase a missing payout and sink deeper into the city's surreal underbelly.Smith and Krumholtz discuss the film's blend of desperation, performance, and self-mythology—how Forelock captures a Los Angeles where ambition and delusion often look the same.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth
