    In this episode, Alex Stolz talks with Doug Shapiro, media strategist, former Turner executive and author of The Mediator, about the disruptive force of generative AI and what it truly means for filmmakers and creators. Doug draws a striking parallel: just as the internet drove the cost of moving bits (distribution) toward zero and reshaped the media landscape, generative AI is now driving the cost of making bits (content creation) toward zero. But what does that mean for the value of original storytelling? For jobs, budgets, and creativity? And how can creators and studios adapt to a world of “infinite content,” where audiences' definitions of quality are shifting, and discovery becomes the real battle? Across the conversation, Doug explores the opportunities (democratization, bold creative choices, lower barriers for new voices) and the challenges (market saturation, changing consumer standards, legal and ethical uncertainty) that AI brings. Drawing on his experience of seeing streaming disrupt TV from the inside, he shares lessons for both incumbents and emerging studios and why, despite the disruption, he believes AI can empower a new generation of creators rather than replace them. About Doug Shapiro Doug has spent nearly 30 years in and around the media industry, as an analyst, strategist, advisor and operator. He is currently an independent advisor and consultant, speaker, and senior advisor for Boston Consulting Group. He also writes The Mediator, which is widely read and circulated in the industry. Doug is frequently asked to present his views about the evolution of the media business at corporate offsites, institutional investor conferences, industry events, and academic institutions. He is also writing Infinite Content: AI, the Next Great Disruption of Media, and How to Navigate What's Coming, due to be published by The MIT Press in 2026. Prior to his current role, Doug was the Chief Financial Officer and a Managing Member of Pugilist Capital LLC, an investment firm formed with the purpose of acquiring media and media-adjacent technology businesses. Before that, he was EVP and Chief Strategy Officer at Turner, a division of WarnerMedia, and member of the Executive Committee, where he headed the Corporate and Data Strategy functions. Prior to that position, Shapiro was the SVP of International and Corporate Strategy at Time Warner Inc. He previously headed the Time Warner Investor Relations group, overseeing the development and execution of the company's investor relations initiatives, formulating investor messaging and serving as the primary contact for Time Warner with the investment community. Before joining Time Warner, Shapiro was a senior equity analyst at Banc of America Securities and Deutsche Banc Securities, where he covered the Cable and Satellite TV and Media Conglomerate sectors. He was ranked as one of the top Cable and Satellite analysts by Institutional Investor magazine each year from 1997 to 2006.

Phil shares how he taught himself filmmaking as a teenager, cutting together VHS tapes and roping in friends to create homemade sci-fi adventures. We discuss how this DIY approach evolved into making shorts and, later, a career in commercials – where he honed his craft in visual storytelling, working with big crews, and balancing creative ambition with tight schedules. We also talk about his fan-favourite short film Star Wars: Origins, which went viral for its bold concept and cinematic scale, and how it helped open doors to bigger opportunities, including his recent family feature Robin in the Hoods. Along the way, Phil reflects on the importance of collaboration, and the lessons learned from juggling creativity with industry realities. If you're interested in how a director moves from self-taught beginnings to studio-backed projects while staying true to his passion, this is a conversation worth hearing.

    To think this film's creator knew nothing about animation prior to making this short is absolutely astonishing. Of course, as we discuss, many crossed this path as a consequence of the pandemic, but there are few gems we've found like this. The film, Rally, draws heavily on Santiago Menghini's experience as a live action director and producer. What's fascinating, in our analysis, is our evaluation of ambiguity and how its clever use makes up for the animation and limitations.

    In this episode of Geek Freaks, Frank sits down with writer and director Pascal Bergamin to explore his new film Portraits of Dangerous Women. The conversation dives into how a photo book of unconventional women inspired the film's unique tone, why Bergamin values emotional authenticity over polish, and the realities of getting an indie film released internationally. From the challenges of casting to the passion that drives low-budget filmmaking, this episode is a masterclass in storytelling with heart. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Getting settled and pronunciation check 06:24 Introduction to Pascal Bergamin and his film 07:00 What Portraits of Dangerous Women is really about 08:19 How a photo book sparked the idea 10:13 Humor, grief, and the tone of the story 12:54 Redefining what it means to be "dangerous" 14:23 The idea of a "quiet refusal to perform" 17:10 Assembling a standout cast on a tight budget 20:13 Building trust on set with time and space 23:00 The dog scene that brings everything together 25:17 Creating a world that's familiar but slightly surreal 26:55 How UK distribution led to the North American release 29:45 Adapting marketing strategies between countries 31:02 What Bergamin's learned from indie filmmaking 36:51 What's next after Portraits 38:45 Where to watch the film Key Takeaways: The film was inspired by a collection of amateur photos showing women being bold and mischievous, not criminal. Portraits of Dangerous Women blends humor, drama, and vulnerability to explore unexpected companionship. The title “dangerous” refers to unpredictability and spontaneity, not threat or violence. Casting was done without auditions, relying instead on careful collaboration and trust. With a small crew and limited resources, the film prioritized a relaxed and collaborative environment on set. Pascal continues to be deeply involved in the film's distribution and promotion, reflecting the hands-on nature of independent filmmaking. Quotes: “You don't have enough time to be nervous.” “They're not trying to be heroes. They're reacting to life as it comes.” “The danger is in not knowing what these women will do next.” “We didn't have trailers. We had trust.” Call to Action: Check out Portraits of Dangerous Women, available now in the U.S. and Canada starting July 10th. Find it on Amazon and other platforms—links in the description.

Now he's got plans and goals that expand outside of the cycle of creating just for social and more for the actual joy of it. We talk filmmaking plans and other ideas in general, the difficulty of ambition coming and going in waves, learning to let your authentic wants and needs guide you, and a lot of talk about finding personal comfort and understanding of what we truly want and not always feeling like we have to be “on” – simply giving ourselves space and time to navigate the waves of life.

    Dennis is joined via Zoom from Los Angeles by Juan Pablo Di Pace, the writer, co-director and star of the new film Before We Forget. The film is about an Argentinian film director in his 40s named Matias (played by Di Pace) who's struggling to finish a movie he's making based on his first love, 25 years ago, when he was a student at an international boarding school in Northern Italy. The movie is inspired by Juan Pablo's own experience at the same school where they shot the film, the United World College in Duino, Italy. Juan Pablo talks about the challenges he faced getting the film made, finding the perfect actor to play himself at 17, getting permission from his old school to shoot there and co-directing with his friend since childhood, Andrés Pepe Estrada who actually came to visit Juan Pablo when he was at the boarding school and is a character in the film. Juan Pablo also talks about one of the central themes of the film; that great loves from our younger closeted lives can leave marks that impact us well into adulthood. Other topics include: landing TV icon Norman Lear as an executive producer on the film, going almost all the way on Dancing With the Stars, appearing in Mamma Mia, playing an intense Marriage Story-like argument scene in the film The Mattachine Family, why it was important for him to be out in his career, the sneaky voyeuristic quality of VHS footage, getting his mother to play his mother on screen, playing Jesus Christ in the TV movie AD and shooting the crucifixion scene on Day 2 and the important role delusion plays where you're trying to make your creative dreams come true. www.beforeweforgetmovie.com

    Joining us today is the directing great Neil Marshall (Dog Soildiers, The Decent) and the inspiring actress and producer Liz Farahadi to talk about SHORT film making, the things that can go wrong, why they are important, why planning is vital and how you always need to be ready to adapt. AND their short film Keep Young and Beautiful. We also talk applying for film festivals, why you might or might got get selected, producing short films, what goes into them and the difference between shorts and features for directors. Neil burst onto the scene and punched us all in the face with the cult werewolf action-horror classic "Dog Soldiers" and then, he plunged us into true claustrophobic terror with "The Descent" a film that won critical acclaim and cemented his status as a master of modern horror. He then unleashed the post-apocalyptic action mayhem of "Doomsday" and the brutal historical epic "Centurion,". More recently, he directed the period horror "The Reckoning" and the creature feature "The Lair." And it's not just features! He's brought his distinctive, cinematic vision to some of the biggest TV shows out there, directing two of the most epic battle episodes in "Game of Thrones" history – "Blackwater" and "The Watchers on the Wall" – which earned him an Emmy nomination. He's also helmed episodes of "Black Sails," "Constantine," "Hannibal," "Westworld," and "Lost in Space. And also joining us today, we have an incredible talent in Liz Farahadi, who truly embodies the spirit of independent filmmaking: an accomplished actress and a dedicated producer who champions diverse voices and impactful stories. You might know her from her acting roles in compelling independent films like "Losing Grace" (where she also served as a producer) and "Wild Bones," as well as various theatre productions and commercials. She's also had roles in the well-loved British soaps, "EastEnders" and "Coronation Street," along with other dramas like "Two Thousand Acres of Sky," "Miss Marple," and "Doctor Who. She's a passionate advocate for filmmakers, recognizing the need for support, especially for those from marginalized backgrounds. This drive led her to found and direct The Soho London Independent Film Festival (SohoLIFF), a fantastic platform dedicated to creating opportunities and celebrating films with social and environmental impact. She's currently in post-production on new short films like "Losing Grace" and "Daughter," and developing features like "Xenos" and "Polly." Her latest film as an actress and producer, "Keep Young & Beautiful," delves into the darker world of beauty standards with a powerful and humorous edge.
