Podcast appearances and mentions of Francesca Eastwood

Today's guest is writer/director Natalia Leite. This director is one of the bravest filmmakers I've ever met. Her work on the VICE documentary ‘Life as a Truck-Stop Stripper was breathtaking. Not only did she direct the piece but one of the subjects in the film as well. Take a look below at her amazing work.Everyone knows what charming places strip clubs can be, but perhaps there is no club so charming as one in Moriarty, New Mexico—a truck stop with taxidermy and the bras of former employees on the walls, a few poles, a shitload of black light, and plenty of titties. Never mind that The Ultimate Strip Club List website describes it as the place “where strippers go to die.” Natalia Leite and Alexandra Roxo go Gonzo as they pose as strippers and experience something that can be best described as a Marina Abramovic performance crossed with a bizarro episode of Wife Swap directed by David Lynch's daughters, set in the type of place where a one-eyed guy who shot himself in the head dispenses meditation advice to two naked women.Natalia Leiteis a Brazilian writer/director. Her work has been described as having “a bracing, assertive style” (Variety), “emotional intelligence and sensitivity” (LA Times), and as “cementing the reign over highly stylized, sexually progressive dramas” (Slant).Her feature film “M.F.A.”, a psychological thriller centered around rape crimes in a university, premiered at SXSW 2017 and was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize. The film stars Francesca Eastwood and was released in theaters October 2017. Her feature film debut, “Bare,” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2015, starring Dianna Agron.The film was released by IFC Films and Paramount Pictures. Natalia has created original content for Vice Media, most notably the provocative Vice show “Every Woman” which has garnered over 11 million views. She co-created and starred in the series “Be Here Nowish,” and has directed and shot documentaries internationally.Natalia is a contributing writer for Talk House and has been a featured speaker for NY Women In Film & Television, Apple Store Talks, IFP Filmmaker Conference, and numerous Universities. She also directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, Nasty Gal, and other companies. She recently signed with bicoastal production company Humble, her first commercial representation, and directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, and other companies.Enjoy my conversation with Natalia Leite.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Emily Bett Rickards (Arrow's Felicity Smoak) swung by the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss one of the most wildly entertaining, audacious, and empowering films of this or any year, Queen of the Ring. Emily shines as Mildred “Millie” Burke, the legendary professional wrestler and single mom who defied incredible odds to become the first million-dollar female athlete and longest reigning champion at a time when the sport was banned across most of America. Queen of the Ring was written and directed by Ash Avildsen. The cast also includes Walter Goggins, Josh Lucas, Francesca Eastwood, Tyler Posey, and Marie Avgeropoulos. Queen of the Ring opens in Canada on April 4, including at VIFF Centre and the Rio Theatre in Vancouver, and Emily joined Sabrina Rani Furminger on the pod to talk about Mildred's commitment to intersectionality, muscularity, and femininity, what she learned about Millie by jacking up for the role, and the conversation she'd love to have with the late wrestling star.

12 Menschen entscheiden über Schuld und Unschuld. Dieses US-amerikanische Jurysystem ist anfällig für unsere menschlichen Schwächen und ist deswegen immer wieder Gegenstand von Filmdramen. Der 94-jährige Clint Eastwood inszeniert seinen Gerichtsthriller JUROR #2 angenehm konventionell und setzt seine Mittel ebenso sparsam wie wirkungsvoll ein. Es wird ein moralisches Dilemma vorgeführt: Ein Jury-Mitglied erkennt, dass der unsympathische Angeklagte höchstwahrscheinlich nicht der Mörder ist – und dass es sich noch nicht einmal um einen Mord handelt. Aber die Wahrheit zu sagen, hätte für den Juror Nummer 2 tragische Konsequenzen … Es bleibt viel Raum für die Schauspieler:innen und die Entwicklung ihrer Figuren – vor allem Toni Colette als Staatsanwältin hat uns beeindruckt. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Kino diskutieren wir über die moralischen Strategiewechsel des Protagonisten, über den Blumenhandelpolizisten (J.K. Simmons) und nach der Spoilerwarnung über tragische Wendungen und das gelungene Filmende. Am Mikrofon: Johanna, Heidi, Kathrin, Hendrik und Thomas.

Clint Eastwood's Juror No. 2 hooks audiences with a premise so compelling that crafting a conventional ending might seem impossible. Instead, the film leaves us with a satisfying cliffhanger that feels both deliberate and impactful. This masterful entry into the courtroom drama genre showcases Eastwood's deft storytelling and his unique ability to keep viewers on edge. In this episode of The Film Buff Podcast, we explore Juror No. 2 in detail, examining its narrative intricacies and how it fits into Eastwood's extensive and celebrated filmography. Those who brought us Juror No. 2 Cast: Nicholas Hoult as Justin Kemp, a juror with a moral dilemma. Toni Collette as Faith Killebrew, the prosecuting attorney. J.K. Simmons as Harold Chicowski, a juror and former homicide detective. Gabriel Basso as James Michael Sythe, the murder suspect. Zoey Deutch as Ally Kemp, Justin's pregnant wife. Kiefer Sutherland as Larry Lasker, Justin's Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor. Francesca Eastwood as Kendall Carter, the murder victim. Leslie Bibb, Cedric Yarbrough, Amy Aquino, and others in supporting roles as jurors and court personnel.

Send us a textJUROR #2 It's late-December and, foregoing our usual Christmas-adjacent movie watch, this year TGTPTU has a very special treat for the holidays. That's right, listener, we bring to you our hot takes on what may prove to be Clint Eastwood's final film--and even more likely his final theatrically-released film--JUROR #2 (2024) in time for its MAX streaming release so that you might celebrate with us and have yourself a very Merry Clint-mas. Eastwood's latest film with Warner Brothers continues what was a trend (excepting Cry Macho and The Mule) of not starring the star of the 70's ape comedies and the Dirty Harry series, instead keeping Eastwood off camera and bringing in a murderer's row (some pun intended) of character actors, including Nicholas Hoult from multiple Bryan Singer flicks as the titular Juror #2; Toni Collette from The Sixth Sense as Assistant DA Faith Killebrew who may put her career on the line to explore whether the person she put away for murder is guilty; J.K. Simmons from Postal (and likely some other films) as a former detective on the jury who also has suspicions of innocence; Cedric Yarbrough from Reno 911! as juror out for justice; Kiefer Sutherland from multiple Joel Schumacher flicks as Juror #2's AA sponsor and lawyer confidant; and even one of Eastwood's many children--Francesca Eastwood--giving the double bird in multiple, retold scenes Rashomon-style playing the once-and-future corpse.  From The Mule & Richard Jewell, cinematographer Yves Bélanger is back with Mark Mancina returning from Cry Macho for the score. And surprisingly and, as discussed, perhaps as a first for Eastwood as a director, the man who addressed an empty chair at the RNC and practices TM actually worked with the film's writer to GASP! rewrite the script, an act host Ken who has seen and reported back on every Eastwood film takes to mean Juror #2 is the 94-year-old director's swan song.   And the song is good! While the hosts conflict on where the movie lands politically in its cynicism and realism, all four of the folx talking in your earholes believe the moving picture a solid mid-budget thriller that harkens back to a time/era of pre-streaming moviegoing. Speaking of an era ending, Warner Brothers appears to believe the Time of Eastwood is done, releasing this latest film from the long-time collaborator in under 50 theaters seven scheduled weeks before releasing it for streaming on MAX.   So get your spoilers here, and listen to the end of the p for what starts as a rant against WB's treatment of Eastwood and becomes men complaining about previews and ads before films that eventually ends with the four hosts recapping their 2024 movie-going experiences before awarding their best films of the year. Also fun: Evidence is presented throughout by hosts Ken and Thomas for whether provisional cohost Ryan should be promoted to a full-time host. Congrats, newly fully-fledged host Ryan. Don't rush to mess this up.

Known for his work on top productions such as “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Iron Man 3,” “Rare Objects,” and “Malignant,” -- “Clawfoot” is Michael's directorial debut. For the film, he drew inspiration from Hitchcock's “Rope,” “Dial M for Murder” and “Rear Window.” Janet's (Eastwood) look draws upon iconic styles reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, capturing their timeless allure. Conversely, Leo's (Gibson) character embodies elements akin to Marlon Brando, bringing a distinct flavor and depth to his portrayal. CLAWFOOT can stream on July 19th on all major VOD/rental platforms. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT “For my first feature I wanted to make something interesting, funny, and heartfelt with a real independent film sensibility similar to films I loved growing up in the 80s and 90s. I see the film as an anti-rom com of sorts and wanted it to feel timeless. The casting was crucial to create the tone of the film and the characters that drive the story. The entire cast was amazing to work with. It felt like a never-ending summer camp on set. I hope that the audience is entertained, amused, touched and most of all enjoy the ride before it's over.” Filmmaker Daniel André   FILMMAKER BIOGRAPHY Daniel André is a filmmaker, artist, and music producer born in Cuernavaca, Mexico and raised in NJ, just outside New York City.

Leah Mac interview writer of MFA staring Francesca Eastwood and Clifton Collins Jr..

This week on The First Run, Matt and Chris discuss Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots: The Movie. Sorry, ‘Pacific Rim: Uprising'. Pacific Rim was a flawed, but enjoyable film. Can the sequel improve on the original's shortcoming and deliver all that Jaeger/Kaiju action we crave? Chris and Matt also review ‘The Vault', the horror/heist film currently streaming on Netflix that stars Francesca Eastwood, Taryn Manning, and James Franco (“So good”). We all love a good heist film, but what happens when the thieves attempt to rob a haunted bank? There's the always dependable rundown of the big released on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. Time to suit up, enter the drift, and listen to the latest episode of #TFR.00:00-15:49: Intro/Pacific Rim Uprising15:50-20:07: Blu-Ray & DVD Picks20:10-30:36: The Vault30:37-48:51: What Are The Odds?48:52-50:14: Wrap UpTheme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey

On the first episode of PROJECTING FILM we open up Dan Bush's THE VAULT, a new film starring James Franco and Francesca Eastwood about a bank heist gone wrong. If that sounds familiar, well... trust us when we say that this film has a twist. And if you can't trust your hosts Chris Maynard and Michael Denniston (why would you?), then trust our guest Margo D. from the BOOK VS. MOVIE podcast who gives us her reaction to this new film that she was previously unaware of. Hopefully you share her enthusiasm as we attempt to use two older films to illuminate why you should check out some of the best that indie film has to offer.

M.F.A. follows Francesca Eastwood’s Noelle, a shy college art student. Attending a campus party, Noelle is raped by a suitor and her life is irrevocably altered. Finding no solace within the school or her friends, she confronts her attacker with tragic results. Noelle is horrified, yet there is something of a tangible relief in knowing that justice has effectively been served. As she summons an emerging strength within, Noelle follows a new path as an avenger of sorts. A vigilante who can punish those who have so casually destroyed lives like hers, all while a detective (Clifton Collins Jr.) nips at her heels. M.F.A. is screenwriter and producer Leah McKendrick's first feature film, as she continues her quest to build her resume with personal projects. For this exclusive interview, Aaron sits down with Leah to discuss her path to Hollywood as an actress, struggles within the industry, and creating her own opportunities in Hollywood. The conversation then turns to M.F.A. and why this film was such a personal story for Leah, the journey to get the film made, and what she hopes her thoughtful revenge story can accomplish on the topic of rape and sexual assault debates.  You can find more on Leah and her work at LeahMcKendrick.com and the film itself at MFAMovie.com. Look for the film to release this October.

A vigilante who can punish those who have so casually destroyed lives like hers, all while a detective (Clifton Collins Jr.) nips at her heels. M.F.A. is director Natalia Leite's follow-up to her debut feature, Bare. Written by Leah McKendrick, M.F.A. is a psychological thriller by structure, while offering a palette with which Leite and her team can explore deeper themes of campus sexual assault, the PTSD victims often succumb to after their trauma, advocacy, and even the discrepancies of consent. Francesca Eastwood maneuvers the many facets of Noelle with breathless ease and determination, and by the film's conclusion, the audience is spurred into discussion. For our exclusive interview with Natalia, we discuss a wide array of topics. Beginning with her first realization that filmmaking was in her future, we lead into the more complicated aspects of Natalia's film, sexual assault treated as a plot device in modern film, production woes, and what she hopes to accomplish once M.F.A. reaches distribution.
