Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's Guide.In today's episode we dive right into a genre centrally important to so many independent filmmakers, documentary. Hosts James Allerdyce and Matt Mundy get to sit down with acclaimed director and producer Nicole Newnham and her latest film The Disappearance of Shere Hite. We are specifically looking into the techniques and artistry of creating a cohesive and compelling storyline exploring the life of an impactful author-celebrity who in recent years has seemingly just disappeared.Using interviews from fellow activists, friends, romantic partners as well as sifting through thousands of hours of archival footage (spanning Network television, trade magazines, and personal documentation) we homed in on a few of the intentional decisions made by Newnham and her team to bring Shere Hite almost literally back to life in this very cinematic presentation of her and her importance to so many social movements in the latter part of the 20th Century. "Shere Hite's bestselling book The Hite Report liberated female orgasm by revealing the most private experiences of thousands of anonymous surveys. Her findings rocked the American establishment and conversations about gender and sexuality." - IMDbIFG is created by Framework Productions, produced and hosted by Steven Pierce, James Allerdyce, and Matt Mundy.

Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's Guide.In today's episode we dive right into one of the later challenges along the filmmaking journey - getting your film in front of your potential audience. How to actually break through with ratings and reviews in key places.The landscape is always changing and tomorrow it may be different. In the meantime, these particular algorithms on streaming platforms hold a lot of sway as to what movies actually get "shelf space" in their store.With this in mind, we here at IFG share the great news that our indie horror film HERD (Steven Pierce, James Allerdyce, Matt Mundy) is now released in the US and in an increasing number of other territories around the world.But in order to take advantage of all of this potential exposure we ask our listeners directly for their support. As we often do with podcasts but rarely seem to do in film, we talk about the importance of not just watching indie films but rating and reviewing them as well.In that, we also tackle the pivotal role of indie filmmakers in shaping a vibrant film industry, especially in light of recent strikes against the AMPTP. More so, we extend an invitation to you - yes, you, our treasured listeners - to join this journey. By watching, rating, and reviewing HERD, you're not simply showing support; you're helping independent films prove their worth in a sea of studio-backed blockbusters. And in this digital era, your ratings and reviews directly impact a film's positioning and success. And a special shoutout to the wonderful people of Poplar Bluff, Missouri - as well as Doniphan and Van Buren...your support and graciousness to our cast and crew are at the center of what made shooting this film possible.Links mentioned in the show:to follow the herd, and see more information about the movie, visit HERD.filmWatch/Stream on AppleTV or PrimeUK DVD reviewUK DVD purchaseRate/Review on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDbIFG is created by Framework Productions, produced and hosted by Steven Pierce, James Allerdyce, and Matt Mundy.

Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's GuideThe navigation of film distribution can be one of the more difficult parts of the filmmaker's process. From understanding deal memos, aligning expectations, to simply getting something you've undoubtedly spent so much time and effort on in front of, and sometimes literally in the hands of, your intended audience.These are just some of the things covered in today's valuable and personal episode with guest Malcolm Ingram - an acclaimed and decorated filmmaker and documentarian, as well as an ambassador of the now resurgent desire for physical media. Leveraging all these things, Ingram felt a personal pull to, most recently, start his own distribution company with a focus on this physical media Mercantile Instinct.And his first release is the film CLERK (yes, a look at the man and the stories behind the hit CLERKS).  CLERK will feature both Blu-Ray as well as VHS and Blu-Ray - with wide release on September 26th.  A quick reminder, no matter where you are listening to us, if you could rate us and drop us a review on Apple Podcasts, we'd be so grateful - it really helps us spread the news and build the community.If there are any topics you'd like us to cover, join us over at IFG Discord and enter the chatIFG is created by Framework Productions, produced and hosted by Steven Pierce, James Allerdyce, and Matt Mundy.

We are living through an unprecedented era. International institutions like the UN are incapable of tackling global challenges, disordering powers like China and Russia are actively promoting chaos rather than order, and democratic countries are not effectively coordinating on transnational threats. The result? An era of Global Enduring Disorder has swept the world. We see it in the rise and fall of Trump, Bolsonaro, and Boris, inaction on climate change, and never-ending civil wars in Yemen, Ukraine, Syria, and Libya.    In this episode, Jason Pack and Alexandra Hall Hall share their personal journeys and walk us through the fundamental features of our era of Disorder. We hear from esteemed historian Timothy Garton Ash, who will chart how the West has frayed, while author and podcaster Brian Klaas will tell us why democracies frequently pick the wrong leaders—especially in times of crisis.    Disorder is produced by George McDonagh.

Passion, performance, and planning. Creating an independent feature takes all of them.

One of the most impactful artists that helps create the aesthetic of a film is the Director of Photography. They have direct access and impact to the look of the film and therefore must have a thorough working-knowledge of all things lighting, lenses, camera, and composition In addition to that, they must also be able to communicate seamlessly with multiple departments. Not to mention an understanding of film history and industry trends. In today’s episode we talk with 3 DP’s on how they work to combine technology, collaboration, and crew management to create the look and feel of a feature film.

Before coming to Indiana, he taught at Carthage College, Denison University, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and the University of Maryland. From 1984 to 1990, he was vice president of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest, a Chicago-based consortium of liberal arts colleges.

We will be back with season 2 on January 8th 2018.In the meantime, check out the cool podcast The Broad Experience, which is all women and the workplace.Host & producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-Far Co-producers: Sam Baker, Jonathan Blackwell and Cady Voge Guests: Mark Manson, author of best seller ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck' and self-development expert Alec Molloy, guest from the episode on Redefining and Owning MasculinityRelated links: The Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.com/ Podcast recommendation:The Broad Experience http://www.thebroadexperience.com/Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Dizraeli had a breakdown last year. The MC and poet found it hard to talk about what was going on with him, and also found little support from men when he did reach out. He managed to seek help and is now focused on exploring why men don't talk and how to get men to open up and to communicate honestly.Dizraeli tells us about how masculinity leaves little room to explore the inner life, and to even have a language to describe what they are going through, and helps us delve into the question: Why don't men talk?Host & producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producers: Sam Baker and Jonathan BlackwellGuests: Dizraeli http://www.dizraeli.com/, MC and poetRelated links: The Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.com/Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Theresa May recently attended the Pink News Awards – the first sitting UK Prime Minister to do so. These awards recognise people who have worked to improve LGBTQ plus life in the UK. Some people praised her for this and for a speech she gave at the awards, but others have seen it as a cynical move from a PM trying to look good in this community, because Theresa May's voting record hasn't always been supportive of the LGBTQ plus community.We try to untangle this with the hosts of the UK's leading LGBTQ plus podcast: A Gay and a Non Gay – that's James Barr and Dan Hudson.Host & producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producer: Cady VogeGuests: James Barr and Dan Hudson, hosts of the podcast A Gay and a Non Gay https://shows.pippa.io/gayRelated links: A Gay and a Non Gay present: David Bowie made me gay, event on 9th November at Waterstones, Tottenham Court Road http://bit.ly/2yYlq9STheresa May's article for Pink News, July 2017 http://bit.ly/2hIueanSection 28 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_28Theresa May's voting record on LGBTQ plus issues http://ind.pn/2oJNmq9The Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.com/Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Mark Manson, the author of the New York Times bestseller ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck' and self-development expert, has spent a decade or so working closely with people, helping them improve all aspects of their lives, and has written insightfully and entertainingly about how to improve all aspects of your life, be it emotional, professional or romantic. He's also worked closely with men, doing one-on-one coaching, as well as writing about masculinity, and his own journey to where he is now. So, given all the current debates about the problems in masculinity, we just had to talk to him!We ask Mark: is there a crisis in masculinity? We also talk about the problems with certain elements of masculinity and the solutions to these, and also touch on some of the better parts of masculinity.We also give a shout out to the podcast Details Please, with mother and daughter duo Gail and Rose Reid.Host & producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producer: Cady VogeSponsor: Casper, state-of-the-art mattresses  https://casper.com/uk/en/Guest: Mark Manson, author of best seller ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck' and self-development expert https://markmanson.net/archiveRelated links:Mark Manson's article ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck' https://markmanson.net/not-giving-a-fuckPodcast recommendation:Details Please http://www.detailsplease.org/The Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.com/Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Being an activist is all about changing the world: from the structures that shape our societies down to the daily conversations we have with each other. Deray McKesson has been active in Black Lives Matter and he is closely involved with people and entire communities both on the ground, and online, and has worked in and with schools in various parts of the US. He also hosts the podcast Pod Save the People, discussing the important topics of each week with a host of experts, community organizers and journalists. He's therefore on the forefront of some of the most important social changes and discussions taking place in the US today.Deray talked to us about masculinity in the context of his work as an activist, his race and his sexuality.We also discuss some of the news of the past week: namely, Harvey Weinstein, and we hear from the author Mark Manson as we try to understand the culture of silence surrounding Weinstein, from men as well as from women.Host & producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producer: Cady VogeSponsor: Casper, state-of-the-art mattresses  https://casper.com/uk/en/Guests: Deray McKesson, Black Lives Matter activist, host of the podcast Pod Save the People https://crooked.com/podcast-series/pod-save-the-people/Mark Manson, author https://twitter.com/IAmMarkMansonRelated links: Deray interview by Jack Dorsey in Interview Magazine https://bit.ly/2Tn4HruThe Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.comMusic: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Hillary Clinton apparently isn't authentic. Except for when she is, and then no one can handle it!Hillary Clinton's new book ‘What Happened' delves into the circumstances around her losing last year's American presidential election to Donald Trump. She calls people out, and does so directly and by name, these being people who she believes are partially responsible for her losing the election. And she also points fingers at herself as well. Some people are loving her raw expressions, while many, many others are telling her to be quiet, and to sit down, or at least saying that it's better to look ahead rather than to dwell on the past, which is a more polite way of saying that they don't really want to hear it.However, what is most baffling is that a politician and an aspiring leader would be told to sit down and would be discouraged from speaking out when, after all, isn't that what politicians and leaders are supposed to do – to stand up and to call people out?The question we're trying to answer is this: can a woman politician call people out? Or is that a privilege reserved for men?Host & producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producer: Cady VogeGuests: Hadley Freeman, columnist at The Guardian https://twitter.com/HadleyFreemanPeter, works in politics in Washington DC Jonathan Freeman, worked full time on Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential campaign, volunteered for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign Russ Finkelstein, journalist, produced 2016 elections coverage for Fusion https://twitter.com/RussFinkelsteinClare Foran, political reporter at The Atlantic https://twitter.com/ckmarieRelated links: Hadley Freeman's article ‘America's vitriol towards Clinton reveals a nation mired in misogyny' https://bit.ly/2x7xAMaMusic: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Gender neutral clothing is all over the news at the moment. Just a few examples include school children protesting why girls and boys have to dress differently from each other and therefore encouraging their schools to change dress codes, and department stores who are doing away with gendered sections for clothing.We talk to two guests who work in fashion and the clothing space. We talk the relationship between how they dress and their own gender identity, and how other people in society have responded to them. Both guests were born female, and one identifies as female while the other identifies as non-binary. How has clothing shaped their own gender identities? Should there be gendered sections in clothes shops? And what will happen if clothing becomes gender neutral?Host & producer Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producer Cady VogeGuests Laura Kanaplue, producer of the London Queer Fashion Show Santina Sorrenti, founder of Gender SwapRelated links:London Queer Fashion Show https://londonqueerfashionshow.com/Gender Swap https://genderswapblog.wordpress.com/The Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.com/Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

What is a man's role in society these days? This question seems to be coming up again and again. The rise of women and feminism, together with changes in the economy, and globalization are some of the factors cited as having had a big impact on men and their sense of where they belong in society. For a while the expectation was that men were to work and to be providers for the family, but that's not necessarily the case anymore, so where does that leave them?Men grappling with their role and trying to find a sense of purpose is also not just a personal dilemma. There is much talk that some of the political unrest happening around the world over the past decade or so is also related to this, to the changing position of men in society and this lack of purpose that many are feeling, whether they are young men still trying to figure things out, or older men who've been working and providing for years, but are seeing what they do increasingly fall out of place in the modern workplace, which is also increasingly filled by women, who are on average also more educated.You could say that everyone is after a sense of purpose, but there is a lot of talk about this with women and new roles and options and opportunities. I'd say it's generally positive talk, as women open up more paths for themselves. In fact, pushing for equality itself gives one a huge sense of purpose. But what's the deal with men? And why is there this insistence on men having to have a sense of purpose, can't they just, you know, be? We chat to two men about their experiences with purpose and how it impacts men specifically, and take the untangling from there.Host & producer Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producer Cady VogeGuests Justin Brown, co-founder of Ideapod https://www.ideapod.com/Michael MichailidisRelated links:The Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.com/ Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

‘The future is female' – it's a slogan we're seeing increasingly, on t-shirts and placards and social media feeds. And there are currently plenty of important and necessary debates about getting more women into the upper echelons of business: more women on boards of companies, in industries such as science and tech, talk of how to retain women in the workforce after they start having families and much more.But should we be focusing on just having more women in the most powerful positions in the economy, or should we be looking at reforming the nature of the economy itself? After all, capitalism and masculinity are closely entwined (a subject for an upcoming episode), in some ways good, and some ways less good. Instead of pushing to have more women in the economy, should we be pushing for the economy to embody more feminine traits instead? And what does a more feminine workplace and economy look like?Host: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarGuests: Eric Gade, trained historian and former intel analyst http://www.homoridiculus.com/Jess Rimington, Visiting Scholar at Stanford University's Global Projects Center http://www.jessrimington.org/Related Links: The Gender Knot www.thegenderknot.comMastrMe http://mastr.me/ Rob Reich interview with Freakonomics https://bit.ly/2BJoIgkMusic: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Why are so many people around me suddenly joining men's groups and women's groups? Isn't the notion of segregating ourselves due to gender a little… outdated? After all, so many of our social issues are related to us not knowing and being close to people who are different to us and experience the world in a way which we don't. Don't women's groups and men's groups just reinforce the notion of ‘the other'? And who said gender is so binary anyway?We delve into whether there is still value in having these groups, and what various individuals have gotten out of them, and also speak to a guest who slated men's groups on this very podcast, but is now a big fan!Host: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarGuests: Michelle Lim, relationships coach https://www.michellelim.co Alex Linsley, founded a men's group while a student Ankush Jain, life coach and leader of a men's immersion programme http://ankushjain.co.ukAlec Molloy, member of a men's groupRelated links: Tony Porter's Ted Talk ‘The Man Box' https://www.ted.com/talks/tonyporteracallto_men The Gender Knot www.thegenderknot.comMusic: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Should men be involved in feminism, and if so, how?Men are super involved in feminism these days – and there appears to be a cultural trend in getting men involved in the fight for gender equality.We're seeing this daily: be it the UN's HeForShe campaign which is all about this, or male celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Ashton Kutcher talking about rights for women (and of course, tennis player Andy Murray's recent stand against casual sexism), and it seems like everyday there are articles in the world's leading publications about all this too (a recent hit being the New York Times looking at how to raise feminist sons). It makes sense; men also need to change their attitudes and biases if we are to live in a world with gender equality, so of course they need to be part of the fight.But what about when some men mean well but end up doing more harm than good? This episode explores that.We look at male feminists – do they actually help the cause of feminism, or do they end up making everything about them, and in essence do they just talk over women, whose voices aren't heard as much in first place? And should women ask for help from men to increase gender equality, and if so, how should they ask for this help so that it's carried out most effectively? Or is catering the message so as not to upset men a problem in itself? We explore and untangle all this. And we also hear about the darker side too: the things that even progressive men don't want to share publicly about their fears and resentments towards feminism…Host: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarGuests: Anonymous male essay writer from England Lucy, woman from England Michelle Lim, Relationship coach from the US and based in Sweden https://www.michellelim.coShea Wilson, American male living in SwedenRelated links: The Gender Knot www.thegenderknot.comJackson Katz's Tedx talk “Violence against women, it's a men's issue” https://www.ted.com/talks/jacksonkatzviolenceagainstwomenitsamensissueSheila Kelley's Tedx talk “Let's get naked” http://tedxamericanriviera.com/sheila-kelley-lets-get-naked/Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Hillary Clinton was often criticised for being too ‘cold' and ‘unemotional' during her 2016 US Presidential bid. Many women in the West can relate to this: if they show emotions they are not taken seriously in the workplace, and yet if they control their emotions they are deemed ‘cold' and ‘calculating' and ‘untrustworthy'. We try to get a perspective from two men - on purpose - to see if emotional expression helps or hinders women in leadership, and how emotions go down for male leaders.This episode will focus on the US. One of the guests is a journalist who covered the 2016 Presidential election campaign, and the other guest has actually campaigned for both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the ground. We also get feedback from a young woman who voted for Hillary Clinton, and we dig into this phenomenon further.Host: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarGuests: Russ Finkelstein, journalist, produced 2016 elections coverage for Fusion https://twitter.com/RussFinkelsteinJonathan Freeman, worked full time on Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential campaign, volunteered for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign Elizabeth, voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US Presidential elections https://twitter.com/JFonIRRelated links: The Gender Knot www.thegenderknot.comMusic: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

You've heard of Leaning In but how about Leaning Back? Over the past few years a lot of women have undertaken Sheryl Sandberg's advice to assert themselves more, to speak louder and to sit at the table. But some women are questioning this and are thinking about the bigger picture of what success means to them and how exactly they want to go about it. Enter: Leaning Back!Leaning Back is about looking at the bigger picture. It's about listening to yourself and doing what's right for you. We discuss the pros and cons of Leaning In, what's worked and what's hindered us, and we explore the cultural and gender dimensions of success and the workplace.Host: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarGuests:  Nomi, journalist and TV producer Bianca Praetorius, co-editor and co-author of The Lean Back Perspective https://www.ixds.com/the-lean-back-perspective-the-bookRelated Links: The Gender Knot www.thegenderknot.comMusic: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons) Sourpatch by Glass Boy (used under Creative Commons)

Masculinity gets a bad reputation these days. We hear a lot about what's wrong with it, but what about the good sides, and also the messy sides?

En portada del número de febrero de Letras Libres, Gobernadores corruptos. Los recientes escándalos de Javier Duarte, Guillermo Padrés y Roberto Borge han evidenciado, una vez más, el desmesurado poder que tienen los mandatarios estatales y la opacidad con la que manejan los recursos públicos. Un combate cabal de la corrupción tendría que sancionar esas faltas, sin depender de la voluntad de los actores políticos de las entidades.

La portada del número de enero de Letras Libres está dedicada a La fallida utopía de Fidel Castro. Durante mucho tiempo, Fidel Castro encarnó una utopía revolucionaria. La represión, la reacción contra las políticas de Estados Unidos en América Latina, el prestigio de sus programas sociales y su carisma personal le permitieron sobrevivir a muchos de sus rivales y a las esperanzas que su revolución había generado. En este número abordamos algunas de las preguntas que se abren con su muerte, analizamos cómo marcó la vida de los cubanos y trazamos la anatomía de un fracaso.

Andria Williams met her husband Dave when they were in their first year of high school. They’ve been together now for almost two decades, but they’ve also spent a significant portion of that time living apart, conducting their relationship over a long distance. Over the course of those two decades, the technology of communication has also changed in a number of ways. Andria describes her struggle to adapt to those communication technologies, especially considering that she doesn’t even enjoy talking on the phone. Andria runs the Military Spouse Book Review, and she has a novel forthcoming from Random House. Scoring music in this episode came from Glass Boy.
