Kalina combines her artistic vision with a deep understanding of character and story to produce her impressive body of work. Kalina shares about doing her own research and creating mood boards, and offers first-hand stories about some of her past projects.For example, for the critically acclaimed HBO show, The Penguin, Kalina emphasizes that she focused on telling a New York story, which required careful consideration of the streets and architecture to achieve the desired atmosphere. And for her work on George Clooney's period film, Boys in the Boat, her research and the historically accurate boathouse built for the production were crucial in capturing the era's essence.To learn more about Kalina and her work, as well the Production Designers Collective: https://www.kalinaivanov.com/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0412055/https://www.instagram.com/kalina506/https://www.productiondesignerscollective.org/Support the show---Subscribe to learn more about filmmaking, production, media makers, creator resources, visual storytelling, and every aspect that brings film, television, and video projects from concepts to our screens.

Listen to learn how to move an audience with a character who never changes. Do characters need to change for you to have a satisfying story? That's a question we've been asking since, like, episode five of this podcast. And we're finally talking about it! In this continuation of our deep dive into character arcs -- Stu, Chas and Mel break down MOANA, APOLLO 13 and THE DRESSMAKER to work out what carries a story when a character arc doesn't. If your protagonist isn't going to change, the drama has to come from what they do to everyone else. We do manage to figure out some tools that carry a steadfast story: doubt and wobble (a character with no doubt isn't steadfast, they're a psychopath), emotional events between characters, and a distinction borrowed from operant conditioning — additive rewards (you gain something) versus subtractive ones (something is taken away). The subtractive reward is why a happy ending can still feel like loss... and it's the thing we reckon that'll matter most when we get to negative arcs. We also wibble-wobble over WILLOW, TAKEN, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, THE MARTIAN, PROJECT HAIL MARY, THE GREY, ALL IS LOST, STAR WARS (as always), GREY GARDENS, PRISCILLA, and how many tampons NASA sent to space.

On episode 338 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello, and AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer, Jay Ledbetter and Josh Parham, to go back 50 years and take a look at the 49th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1976. In this retrospective, the AW team returns from their two week break after the end of the 2025-2026 Oscar season to take a trip back 50 years to one of the most interesting ceremonies of all time; one similar to the one they just covered in more ways than one. A big, crowd pleasing film about an underdog boxer stole the heart of the Academy and audiences around the world, while the politically charged, socially relevant films walked away with the most awards on Oscar night, but missed out on the top two prizes. It was an epic battle between Rocky,All the President's Men, and Network, with Bound for Glory, Taxi Driver, Seven Beauties, Face to Face, Carrie, Marathon Man, and more honored by the Academy, with films like The Ritz, Grey Gardens, Mikey and Nicky, The Omen, The Bad News Bears, and more making up the films talked about on this show as films that could replace or be celebrated in this retrospective; highlighting a wide range of memorable titles released in 1976 that the team admire in one way or another. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1976, briefly discuss Rocky as a Best Picture winner, how that win speaks to the legacy of their win and the franchise, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h30m. We will be back next week for a review of the latest film A24, The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

https://notesonfilm1.com/2025/12/31/thinking-aloud-about-film-last-days-gus-van-sant-2005/ Richard and I went to see the Royal Opera's production of Oliver Leith's and Matt Copson's LAST DAYS, directed by Copson and Anna Morrissey, with superb set designs by Grace Smart. It's inspired by Gus Van Sant's 2005 film and so were inspired to podcast on it. The film is part of what's been called Van Sant's 'Death Trilogy' (alongside GERRY (2002) and ELEPHANT (2003)). In the podcast we discuss how, in spite of it being a ‘slow' film, time flew by; how we were hypnotized by images and entranced by the originality of its story-telling. It made those last days intelligible. The film seems to run entirely on mood -- loneliness, frailty, vulnerability, alienation in a cold climate. A fluid dexterity of original story-telling and tone. Blaine is the source of money, power, creativity ... but no one is looking after him. In the podcast we discuss how we don't see Blake's full face until close to the end, though re-visiting the film proves this to be inaccurate. It's nonetheless interesting that this is a dominant impression. It's a film where interiority is expressed through externals. We also discuss the film in relation to Bella Tarr's Sátántango and to Grey Gardens (1975). We discuss how LAST DAYS is about a young man, outwardly rich and successful but feeling he's got nothing to live for and with no one – even those physically in the room with him -- to help him break through his isolation and alienation. A great film, propulsed by mood.

"Whatever Jen Agg says is worth listening to," said Anthony Bourdain. I fully agree! If you live in Toronto you probably know Jen Agg. If you don't, let me tell you she runs the best restaurants in town! Come visit and try them! Her most recent stunner is a two-story converted auto-body shop turned Toronto Life #1 ranked restaurant called "General Public" and it is a feast for the senses. Jen describes the place as "part Narnia, part fancy British pub, and part '80s cocaine dream" which gives you a sample of her incredible way with words on top of dishes on top of lighting on top of music on top of ... vibe. I was at General Public last week with my friend Agostino and we split Rainbow Trout Tartare, Hiramasa Crudo, Chicory Salad, and Popcorn Clams and Mussels. And those were just our appetizers! And precisely none of the items fully described the depth of surprising and fresh ingredients leading to the full-body sensory experiences we had when taking our first bites... Jen Agg has opened many other award-winning restaurants including Bar Vendetta, Grey Gardens, Le Swan, Rhum Corner, Hoof Cocktail Bar and, famously, The Black Hoof (RIP), where I still remember my friend Drew ordering a Spicy Raw Horse Sandwich with raw egg on top many years ago. His verdict? "Delicious!" Of course that place turned the restaurant scene in the city sharply sideways! And sharply sideways is such a great way to live... I admire Jen Agg's sharply sideways ways and also highly recommend her bestselling memoir “I Hear She's A Real Bitch” (perhaps the best memoir title of all time?) Now there is of course no where else to sit down with Jen than one of her restaurants so for this one we slip into the front booth at the delectable "french diner" that is Le Swan. Btw, if you go you might find yourself making a new Spotify playlist like I did to remember the great music you're hearing—"Ooh la la" by Ronnie Lane followed by "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison followed by "Everybody's Talkin'" by Harry Nilsson followed by "Tangled Up In Blue" by Bob Dylan! Of course it's hard to pay attention to the music when you're gobbling Smoked Trout Rillette, Steak Tartare, and the city's best Corn Dogs! Let's sit down and talk about fussiness as a virtue, the art of dining alone, having a healthy marriage with someone much older than you, the brilliant Jen Agg's 3 most formative books, and much, much, MUCH more... It was an honour and privilege to talk to Jen Agg in this classic chapter of 3 Books.

SDSU New Musical InitiativeOver the course of two years, MFA students will rehearse and develop to full production a new work of musical theatre under the guidance of faculty director Stephen Brotebeck and faculty music director (and Head of MFA Program) Robert Meffe. Brotebeck and Meffe have years of Broadway experience developing new musical works for the stage including shows such as Peter and the Starcatcher, Ghost and Little Women. Past artists have included Derek Gregor, Phoebe Kreutz, T.C. Lind, Lynne Shankel, Crystal Skillman, Bobby Cronin, Caroline Prugh, Ryan Scott Oliver, BD Wong, Wayne Barker, Michael Federico and Home for Hovercraft band members Seth and Sean Magill. Our plan is to collaborate with a creative team in three stages from reading to workshop to full production. We are looking for completed scripts and scores from a team that is interested in developing their work in conjunction with our graduate students. The committee considers a host of factors in the selection process, including representation of writers and stories from a range of cultural, ethnic, racial, and other affinities, as well as the gender balance of the writers whose work is presented in a given theatrical season.
The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel celebrates the lost art of the communal movie theater experience. After attending a packed 50th-anniversary screening of the classic, eccentric documentary Grey Gardens, Lionel explores why sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers to watch a "cultural relic" transcends today's era of "binge streaming" and "digital dopamine drips". The conversation pivots to pivotal films that fundamentally changed listeners—not just movies they liked. Dive into discussions about influential cinematic experiences like the groundbreaking production of The Godfather, the genius of Network, the independent charm of Fatso, and the visceral collective reaction to Jaws. It's an entertaining and informative look at film culture, the decline of American "high society", and why the theater remains the "cathedral of American culture". Learn more about your ad choices.

Lionel describes a "subversive" experience: attending a packed, shoulder-to-shoulder 50th-anniversary screening of the documentary Grey Gardens at the legendary Paris Theater in New York City. He contrasts this powerful, communal event with the isolation of "binge streaming" and "digital dopamine drips". Lionel argues that the movie theater was once the "cathedral of American culture", an experience lost when "scrolling Tik Tok" or watching Netflix. Callers join the conversation to discuss the pivotal films—such as The Godfather, Network, and Jaws—that were "integral to your development" and "changed the way you thought".

Efteråret er her, og med det følger en helt særlig stemning i vores påklædning. For betyder mørket og kulden, at vi også med vores tøjvalg skal gå i hi? Eller er overgangstiden netop en gylden mulighed for at lege med forunderlige sammensætninger af materialer, farver og lag? Det taler vi om i dette afsnit af ‘Poptillægget’, hvor vi kigger mod film, serier og bøger for at hente inspiration til både underspillede og larmende efterårsoutfits. Blandt andet dykker vi ned i filmen ‘Grey Gardens’ indbydende lag på lag-æstetik, kostskoleuniformer i ‘Wild Child’ og tørklæder under hattene i Fellinis film. PANEL Esben Weile Kjær, billedkunstner.

In May, I went to a screening of a documentary called GOODBYE HORSES: THE MANY LIVES OF Q LAZZARUS about the singer of the cult song "Goodbye Horses" which is most prominently featured in Jonathan Demme's film THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. The film is a portrait of the musician behind the song, Diane Luckey, her tumultuous life, and the frustrating reality of a music industry that didn't know what to do with an unconventional Black singer. This conversation is with the director of that film, Eva Aridjis Fuentes, and we spoke about how the film came to be, the obstacle-filled filming process, and the documentary as Diane Luckey's legacy.Show Notes:Eva Eridjis Fuentes' website Q Lazzarus websiteEva's instagramQ Lazzarus LP Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus (Music from the Motion Picture)Something Wild (1986)Married to the Mob (1988)The Silence of the Lambs (1991)Philadelphia (1993)Q LazzarusEva's film Children of the Street (2004)Eva's film La santa muerte (2007)Eva's film Chuy, El Hombre lobo (2014)Searching for Sugar Man (2012)Grey Gardens (1975)Man on Wire (2008) The Beatles: Get Back (2021)My Octopus Teacher (2020)Koko: A Talking Gorilla (1978)Dazed article about Q Follow Somebody's Watching here:Twitter: @somebodyspodInstagram: @somebodyswatchingpodEmail: somebodywatchingpod@gmail.com

✦ "Cinematheque," Emory's film screening series, leads us on a deep dive into the history, present, and possible futures of cinema every spring and fall. Beginning tomorrow, August 27, through December, "Cinematheque" looks back exactly 50 years to 1975, an explosive and groundbreaking year for film, with blockbusters like "Jaws," underdog hits like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and offbeat outsider works like "Grey Gardens." Emory film and media professors Matthew Bernstein and Dan Reynolds recently sat down with City Lights Collective Co-host Kim Drobes to detail this season's series. ✦ WABE's Sounds Like ATL documentary series explores the vibrant Atlanta music scene. Each week, it either introduces or reintroduces you to a local artist, sharing their creative process and a few live performances. You can watch, dance, and sing along on the YouTube channel, @WABEATL. Here's a preview featuring Thee Blk Pearl. ✦ City Lights Collective member and award-winning Atlanta comedian Joel Byars is one of the hardest-working people in the business. Aside from his podcast, "Hot Breath Pod," he's always hosting comedy events around town, and now, he joins us weekly to share his picks for this week's must-see comedy events. ✦ A strange realm both familiar and unsettling greets visitors in Victoria Dugger's solo exhibition, "Must Be Nice." She's been praised for the mesmerizing marriage of cuteness and grotesque in her work, which explores Blackness, femininity, disability, and domesticity. She was recently awarded the 2024 Hudgens Prize for her work. Dugger joined WABE arts reporter Summer Evans to talk about her collection currently on view at the Hudgens Center in Duluth. ✦ Over the past decade and a half, the Atlanta-based public art organization Living Walls has transformed Atlanta's streets into a vibrant gallery of murals and cultural storytelling. And now, Living Walls is all grown up and celebrating its 15th birthday with a full quinceañera at the Goat Farm on September 13. City Lights Collective producer Josh Thane spoke with creative director Tatiana Bell about why a quinceañera felt like the perfect way to honor the milestone, and how the organization continues to shape the city's creative landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Watching my college's reunion cabaret this year, I was struck by how old fashioned and bourgeois so much of the musical theatre repertoire being presented was. The songs that folks had brought to perform were things like “Stars and The Moon” by Jason Robert Brown and selections from Grey Gardens. The material was similarly conventional when I was a student. At the time it seemed normal to sing songs about middle class marriage and imbalanced heterosexual relationships, even within the hotbed of an alternative progressive culture. It seems odd to me now. Why did our songs and our theatre not reflect the world that was happening on our college lawn or in our classrooms?

Esperanza and Irwin didn't intend for this podcast to go 59 minutes, our longest episode to date. Jerry Torre's fascinating story, as a teenager in his friend Billy's Lazy Point fishing cottage, to his work on the Geddes estate on Lily Pond Lane is riveting. But his years living and working for the Beales at Grey Gardens, his involvement in the Maysles documentary and his personal recollections is at the the heart of this special podcast.
Send us a textIn this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia decode the cosmic weirdness of Ketu's transit through Leo, a moment dripping in spiritual paradox and karmic unraveling. Ketu—Vedic astrology's South Node and master of detachment—crashes into Leo's glam, spotlight-loving stage, and things get... existential.Together, they explore how this transit stirs past life karma, triggers ego death, and asks us to give up the performance in favor of presence. Mythic storytelling meets cultural commentary with iconic references from Grey Gardens to The Royal Tenenbaums, and a WTF-worthy retelling of the ancient tale of Chyavana, the decomposing yogi who chose stillness over stardom.Expect irreverent wisdom, ancient insights, and practical tools for spiritual detox. Let your old self fade into the forest, babe—it's Ketu's show now.

Edith Bouvier Beale (1917-2002), also known as "Little Edie," was an American socialite and the cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She gained fame from Grey Gardens, a documentary that explored her eccentric, reclusive life with her mother, "Big Edie," in their decaying East Hampton mansion. She was an icon of American counterculture and influenced film, theater, and fashion. For Further Reading: Edith Bouvier Beale, 84, 'Little Edie,' Dies A Return to Grey Gardens Why Fashion People Love Cult Film Grey Gardens This month, we're diving into the "Divas" of history, examining how the label has been used from many angles, whether describing women pejoratively... or with admiration. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, and Vanessa Handy.
