There are few filmmakers in the history of the craft who are as revered for their work, and as associated with a particular style, as Sir Alfred Hitchcock.Hitchcock's work is so distinctive, his name has become an adjective to describe a well-executed, suspense thriller or drama (e.g. David Fincher's "Se7en" is a Hitchcockian thriller filled with mystery, murder, and suspense-filled thrills worthy of the master of suspense himself.)No doubt that if you're passionate about filmmaking and cinema, you've seen plenty of interviews and/or video essays about Hitch. But as usual, my hope is to share some insight that you might not have heretofore come across.This week's episode is chock full of experts:Sasha Perl-Raver: movie critic, television journalist, actress, and co-host of Collider TV Talk as well as FX Download.Jeffrey Michael Bays: filmmaker, contributor to Movie Maker and NoFilmSchool, and creator of the web film series "Hitch20," a documentary series about the 20 episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" directed by Hitchcock himself.Forris Day: indie filmmaker, editor, and host of the entertainment podcast Coffee Shop Conversations and the YouTube show, "Rolling Tape."Alex Ferrari: indie filmmaker and host of the Indie Film Hustle podcast.David Shulman: executive director of the Seattle Film Institute.Adam Westbrook: professional video essayist and creator of Delve.tv, whose 8 video essays have over 1 million views collectively and 6 Vimeo Staff Picks.Brandon McCormick: founder and director at Whitestone Motion Pictures.John P.
