Podcasts about independent filmmakers

Tribeca Festival Director and SVP of Programming Cara Cusumano joins No Film School's GG Hawkins to reflect on 25 years of Tribeca and explain what independent filmmakers should understand about today's festival landscape. Cusumano discusses Tribeca's evolution from its post-9/11 roots into a multidisciplinary storytelling festival, how programmers evaluate nearly 14,000 submissions, why filmmakers should build relationships with their peers instead of chasing gatekeepers, and how festivals are responding to shifts in film distribution and audience behavior. She also shares how emerging filmmakers can participate in festival communities even without a film in the lineup and why creating distinctive work matters more than waiting for the perfect opportunity. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Cara Cusumano discuss... How Tribeca's founding mission of community, connection, and celebrating movies has endured across 25 years Cara's path from attending the first Tribeca Festival as a film student to becoming Festival Director and SVP of Programming Why networking is really about building relationships with your contemporaries and growing together throughout your careers How programmers view filmmakers and why they are actively looking for work to champion rather than trying to keep filmmakers out What makes a project feel distinctly right for Tribeca, from independent storytelling to memorable audience experiences How Tribeca manages and evaluates nearly 14,000 film and project submissions Why passionate advocacy inside the programming room can matter even when programmers disagree about a film Why festival feedback is complicated and how programming decisions can depend on the composition of the entire lineup, not simply the quality of an individual film How Tribeca expanded beyond features and shorts into television, podcasts, games, VR, immersive work, and creator-driven storytelling The value of human curation as an alternative to algorithmic discovery Why Tribeca is interested in projects that blur the boundaries between film, games, immersive media, podcasts, and other formats How the role of film festivals is changing as selling an independent film directly out of a festival becomes more difficult Why festivals increasingly function as places for talent discovery, career building, networking, and demonstrating audience demand How the in-person festival experience can create moments that cannot be replicated through individual at-home viewing How emerging filmmakers can participate in Tribeca through programs like the Storytelling Summit even if their work is not selected Why Cara hopes Tribeca remains flexible enough to respond to new forms of storytelling that do not yet have an established industry category Her advice to stop waiting for the perfect moment, keep collaborating, and make work because of the story rather than its potential festival or distribution outcome Memorable Quotes: “It's building a relationship with your contemporaries, and then you all grow. Like anyone who I know who has a position of power is only 'cause we were in the trenches as assistants 20 years ago.” “Programmers want to discover films. They live in fear of missing something amazing. They want to build those relationships.” “The industry player's coming less to buy completed projects than they are to scout future talent.” “There's never a perfect moment and, and it- the more that you can be creating and collaborating, and don't think about, like, what festival is this going to get into or what's the distribution going to be?” Guest: Cara Cusumano on IMDb Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

“I think that making images come to life with sound helps the audience with the story and with the emotion of the story. It puts them in the right place. They know what it is they're supposed to pay attention to. We talked earlier in our first meeting about this line-of-sight editing, that is, a video editing thing that they do to get the audience's eyes to move to what's important on screen. And we can do the same thing with audio. We can tell them, ‘OK, this is important over here.' And whether or not they saw it, now they know it, if that makes sense.” – Robin GulcherThis week's guest provides sound design, mixing, and recording services for Advertising Agencies, Film/Video production companies, Publishing Companies, Independent Filmmakers, and Corporate clients, and he's been the production sound mixer for countless commercial and film shoots over the years. Through his work at audibleRicochet, he's rescued imperfect recordings, crafted immersive soundscapes, and helped brands and filmmakers bring clarity and emotion to their projects. And as an adjunct instructor in the Cinematic Arts Department at the Columbus College of Art and Design, he continues to further his craft, as well as the future of the filmmakers and animators he teaches.His name is Robin Gulcher, and in this episode, he shares how sound can transform the ordinary into something memorable – and why what we hear often matters more than what we see.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – Navigating the AI LandscapeOur conversation starts as Robin shares his experiences with AI sound and voices, including the surprising impact it made after one recent session. “It was a long, educational VO thing,” he tells us, “The client asked for this particular voice,… they directed it, and the voice talent sent the invoice and an AI disclaimer after the fact, and so they fired us all.” He recalls his own use of AI in a very different situation, and how it helped avoid a recording crisis. “She picked up the phone, and she was in labor,” he says about a voiceover artist scheduled to record that day. “But she picked up the phone, you know, and so what I did was, we sampled her voice, and the sentence that had this person who was coming up on stage with [a] mispronunciation, we put that in phonetically and did it a couple of times.”(13:50) – How Robin's Audio Journey BeganWe circle back to Robin's early memories of sound, and what inspired him to begin his career in audio. “Music was always in my house,” he says, “whether it was, you know, on the RCA phonograph or whether it was a couple of live players that stopped by the house and jammed and stuff. And I just grew up around it.” He tells us more about how he formed his remote studio, audibleRicochet, and how its timing coincided with the COVID pandemic. “Things had changed so much,” he explains, “and I had actually had facilities here at the house. And so, you know, if there was a snow day, I'd stay home and work and stuff. And it just became more obvious to me that we didn't need that facility.”(24:32) – The Emotional Impact of SoundAs the first half of our conversation wraps up, Robin shares his thoughts on how the power of sound shapes our cinematic experience in ways we don't fully realize. “Sometimes with sound design, you can do things that are unexpected that also help the story,” he says, “but they have to believe it, and you have to do it in a way that they'll believe it.” He gives us an example of a memorable use of sound in filmmaking from the 2014 film A Most Wanted Man: “The talking and stuff, that faded away, and the only thing you heard was his footsteps… As he got to the door to the elevator, the footsteps stopped, and then the crowd and the background went back to normal as if we went back to reality.”Episode SummaryOur conversation about the voiceover challenges and opportunities posed by AI.An exploration of the audio techniques that help guide audience focus.Robin and I discuss how sound enhances storytelling and audience engagement.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss the surprising history behind why commercials are so much louder than television, why Robin advises his students against writing jingles, and what sonic logos can learn from the techniques used to create consistent cinematic soundscapes.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Fellowship App Hell, Strategic TV Directing Pitches, and Why Verticals Are the New Wild West On the Get Reelisms podcast, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen catch up on recent festival news and Christine's birthday, then dive into “fellowship app hell season,” comparing repeated lab applications and essay-writing to endlessly applying to colleges with no clear feedback. Christine shares she's applying to programs including Film Independent, Sundance Producing Lab, and WriteBack Rise, and discusses the demoralizing competition, lack of guarantees, and the need to budget time by stepping back from AD work to focus on directing and stronger applications. Adam explains reframing a Disney directing program pitch from choosing a favorite show to choosing a show that logically matches evidence in his portfolio and experience. They also recap a Scene Lab focused on verticals and discuss vertical video's growth, rising production value, democratized audience-driven discovery, and reduced gatekeeping compared to traditional Hollywood.    Hosts: Adam Rani (@adamthechase)  & Christine Chen (@cchenmtf)  About Christine W Chen: Christine W.

During a Mexican shark dive, five friends are ambushed after discovering cartel cocaine. Trapped in a shark cage, Tatiana and Kaley are forced by the cartel to retrieve a bag of drugs on the seafloor. Battling legendary Great White sharks, dwindling air, and armed killers, the survivors mount a brutal fight to outsmart their captors and escape. Marc Zirogiannis talks, once again, with famed Independent Filmmaker and Director Jesse V. Johnson in the week before the opening of the new action, shark thriller, "Above & Below". Jesse V Johnson's current release THIEVES HIGHWAY (Jan. 2026), starring Aaron Eckhart, is on the January 2026 The New York Times Top 5 "What to Watch" list. From Collider: THIEVES HIGHWAY is not only now available on Hulu, but it has shot to the number one spot on the streamer's Top 10 list. His previous film with Eckhart, CHIEF OF STATION (2024), also starring Olga Kurylenko and Alex Pettyfer, was #2 on Hulu (Aug. 2024) and outperformed on all platforms. Johnson had his major TV directing debut with Rise of the Merlin: The Pendragon Cycle (Jan. 2026), where he helmed multiple large-scale battle sequences and key emotional scenes, directing Episode 3 and the action-packed finale, Episode 7. His films are often hard-edged and feature imaginative and visceral action but also career-highlight performances from actors, his films are character driven and known to contain complex and emotional performances. Johnson's standout film came in 2019 with AVENGEMENT, the British crime thriller starring Scott Adkins. His Debt Collectors films, THE DEBT COLLECTOR (2018) and DEBT COLLECTORS (2020), starring Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor, have generated an enormous cult following. Johnson is also highly respected for his critically acclaimed female-centric thrillers: BOUDICA (2023), starring Olga Kurylenko, and HELL HATH NO FURY (2021), starring Nina Bergman. Johnson has been a prominent figure in the stunt world since TOTAL RECALL (1990). He has performed stunts on films including WAR OF THE WORLDS, TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES, and AVATAR. His feature debut as writer and director came with THE PACKAGE (2012), starring "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Dolph Lundgren. He has gone on to direct movies with some of the world's most prominent action stars, including Antonio Banderas, Aaron Eckhart, John Malkovich, Thomas Jane, Scott Adkins, Dolph Lundgren, Olga Kurylenko and WWE superstar, Steve Austin. ABOVE & BELOW is a 95-minute thriller directed by Jesse V. Johnson and scheduled for release in select theaters on July 29, 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last December, Kareem Alson-Rosales launched the nonprofit “Film 4 Good Fund.” Alson-Rosales noticed gaps in access to funding for independent filmmakers after years of work in philanthropy. The nonprofit, which aims to make it easier for independent filmmakers to receive direct grant funding for projects that are nearing the finish line, just gave out its first grant last week to Portland-based filmmaker Ime N. Etuk.  Alson-Rosales and Etuk join us to discuss the Film 4 Good Fund’s work, and what these pathways to grant funding can mean for independent filmmakers.

Welcome back to No Draws Podcast — where comedy, culture, and creativity collide. In this episode we sit down for a real conversation about filmmaking in Atlanta, the rise of Atlanta's creative scene, and why so many talented Atlanta creatives don't always get the recognition they deserve. Atlanta has become one of the biggest hubs for film production, music, and entertainment, yet many of the artists, filmmakers, and storytellers behind the culture still struggle to get the shine they deserve.

He is also married to the love of his life with a little version of him in tow causing chaos.

Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/

Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Todd Haynes Todd Haynes, independent filmmaker, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded February 27, 2025. The director of ten feature length films, Todd Haynes is an independent film-maker with his roots in New Queer Cinema. After coming to the attention of the film community with his short film, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, in which the “actors” were Barbie Dolls, he achieved fame with his first feature, Poison, which told three stories in different ways, all of which commented on the AIDS epidemic. He followed that with the much-lauded Safe, and then moved on to mainstream success with the lush melodrama, Far from Heaven. His later films include Velvet Goldmine, focusing on the glam rock era, I'm Not There, in which several actors portrayed Bob Dylan, Carol, Dark Waters, Wonderstruck, and his latest film, May December (Netflix). His documentary, Velvet Underground, is available on Apple Plus. Along the way there was a miniseries, Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet, on HBO (streaming on MAX). All his films are available streaming. The films of Todd Haynes will be shown in a retrospective, “Todd Haynes: Far From Safe,”  through April 12th at BAMPFA, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

The post March 13, 2025: Todd Haynes, Independent Filmmaker appeared first on KPFA.

Todd Haynes, independent filmmaker, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded February 27, 2025. The director of ten feature length films, Todd Haynes is an independent film-maker with his roots in New Queer Cinema. After coming to the attention of the film community with his short film, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, in which the “actors” were Barbie Dolls, he achieved fame with his first feature, Poison, which told three stories in different ways, all of which commented on the AIDS epidemic. He followed that with the much-lauded Safe, and then moved on to mainstream success with the lush melodrama, Far from Heaven. His later films include Velvet Goldmine, focusing on the glam rock era, I'm Not There, in which several actors portrayed Bob Dylan, Carol, Dark Waters, Wonderstruck, and his latest film, May December (Netflix). His documentary, Velvet Underground, is available on Apple Plus. Along the way there was a miniseries, Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet, on HBO (streaming on MAX). All his films are available streaming. The films of Todd Haynes will be shown in a retrospective, “Todd Haynes: Far From Safe,” beginning March 8th and continuing through April 12th at BAMPFA, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Todd Haynes will be introducing some of his films (sold out). Special thanks to AJ Fox and the staff at Pacific Film Archive.

Margo is joined by independent filmmaker and writer Courtney Daniels to discuss the joys and challenges of creating outside the Hollywood studio system. Courtney shares her journey from writing spec scripts as a receptionist at Warner Brothers to producing her own feature films, including What Other Couples Do. She opens up about the power of not waiting for validation, making films on a budget, and turning her latest screenplay, A Blind Date in NYC, into a short novel. Together, they explore the freedom of independent creativity and why success comes from taking action rather than waiting to be chosen. Margo and Courtney discuss: The freedom of independent filmmaking outside Hollywood Why waiting for validation hinders creativity How Courtney made her first feature film on a shoestring budget Tips for affordable filmmaking and getting started with minimal resources Turning a screenplay into a book: A Blind Date in NYC Overcoming fear and embracing the creative process Film festivals as stepping stones for indie filmmakers Building daily creative habits to stay inspired The importance of manufacturing surprise in storytelling   Connect with Courtney: https://courtneydanielsfilms.com/ https://www.instagram.com/courtneydanielstoyou/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-daniels-9abb0864 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQFenMHq7I8 https://www.amazon.com/What-Other-Couples-Michael-Friedman/dp/B00QLZRLKK https://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-You-Courtney-Daniels/dp/B0CJJZ9VTG   Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry

This is the kick-off episode introducing the new season of the AIGA Design Podcast with our new theme, DESIGN + PERFORMANCE. The theme is open for designers to interpret it in their own unique ways, bringing individual perspectives to the table. In this episode, we explore how we approach design considering the nuances of performance in creative fields. Host Lee-Sean Huang interviews independent filmmaker Gary Jaffe about his professional journey and creative process. They delve into multiple interpretations of "performance" and its tangible and intangible roles in filmmaking. They discuss the decisions a film director makes (and doesn't make), emphasizing the importance of trusting the team you work with. They highlight the need to create space for individuals to fully perform their roles, allowing the team's collective skills to shine. For Gary, much like in business, a film carries its own vision. Setting clear goals for how the movie should look is essential, but embracing the unexpected reality is also a vital part of the creative process. As designers, everything we experience serves as inspiration for our work. Ensuring a clear reference point from the beginning helps keep the project on track and aligned with everyone involved. Gary believes that the way he presents himself reflects his creative identity and aligns with the style of work he produces. What about you? How do you perform design?

Jon Ossoff's bipartisan Military Spouse Career Support Act of 2023 has become law. The bill aims to aid military spouses' careers by extending reimbursement for licensure and business costs to spouses of servicemembers transitioning to the reserve component. Current policies only provide reimbursements for relocations between active-duty assignments, not when moving between active and reserve assignments. The legislation intends to alleviate the financial burden military families, especially spouses, face during relocations. Ossoff's previous bipartisan effort, the Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act, was enacted last year to enhance job flexibility for military spouses by ensuring recognition of professional licenses across states.   STORY 7: Osborne Middle School's Steven Bragg Named Media Clerk of the Year Steven Blagg of Osborne Middle School has been named the 2023-24 Media Clerk of the Year for Gwinnett County Public Schools. The award recognizes Blagg's exceptional contributions to the effective operations of the school library program. Blagg emphasizes connecting with students, fostering a love for learning and exploration. He reads young adult books to recommend titles and engage students in conversations. Besides daily responsibilities, Blagg creates book displays, updates the student web app, assists teachers, and collaborates with parent volunteers. His dedication to the media center has made it a favorite spot for students, fostering a sense of family at Osborne Middle School.     We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Filmmakers possess the unique ability to immerse us in the lived experiences of others and in so doing, promote kindness, compassion and empathy.  Directors Tracy Droz Tragos and Charles Mudede join us to share their newest projects. Tracy's film is called Plan C and it follows a network of courageous women who are working to ensure access to pregnancy terminating medications. Charles directed Thin Skin, a powerful and funny look into the life of musician/comedian Ahamefule Oluo who has never met but lives in the shadow of his Nigerian father.Charles Mudede is a writer, cultural critic and filmmaker whose film is inspired by Oluo's stage play which began as a segment on This American Life. It's the story of a young, bi-racial man in search of himself while grappling with divorce, children, identity, purpose and the heartbreak of displeasing an absent father.Tracy Droz Tragos is an accomplished and award winning documentarian whose film, Plan C documents the heroic work of the women who comprise a grassroots effort to safeguard access to the two-drug treatment known as a medial abortion. The drugs are prescribed legally through telemedicine visits, however access to information about their availability is muzzled. Tracy's hope is that her film will raise awareness. We also discuss the doctors on the frontline, the supportive husbands, the social media shutdowns and messaging workarounds:… a mobile billboard, subway ads and QR code stickers in college restrooms. We then get into legal intrigues like individual state policies, Shield Laws and the Supreme Court's squeeze between two masters… the religious right and big pharma.Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Alexandra Pelosi's The Insurrectionist Next Door on Max and Stephen Spielberg's Life on Our Planet on Netflix.Path Points of InterestTracy Droz TragosPlan C Plan C TrailerPlan C on FacebookPlan C on InstagramPlan C on TwitterThe Turnaway StudyThin Skin Thin Skin Screening InformationThink Skin TrailerThin Skin on FacebookCharles Mudede on WikipediaThe Wedding Crasher - This American LifeThe Insurrectionist Next DoorPelosi in The HouseLife on Our Planet - Netflix

Should every Christian be an evangelist? What about every missionary? In this episode, we sit down with David Griffin, an independent filmmaker, digital marketer, and former church planter, to delve into the complexities and challenges facing modern missions. Griffin, the creative mind behind the documentary “The Crisis of Missions,” unpacks the most pressing issues missionaries face today and questions whether the term “missionary” has lost its biblical weight. The conversation also explores the role of local churches in supporting and holding missionaries accountable, the universal applicability of biblical methods in diverse cultural settings, and practical steps for strengthening the bond between congregations and missionaries. Whether you're a pastor, missionary, or layperson passionate about the Great Commission, this conversation offers invaluable insights and a dose of inspiration for fulfilling the call to make disciples of all nations.

Jacke talks to legendary independent filmmaker John Sayles (Lone Star, Passion Fish) about his new novel Jamie MacGillivray: The Renegade's Journey, which tells a sweeping story of romance and revolution in eighteenth century Scotland and the New World. "Film director and novelist Sayles (Yellow Earth) follows in this strong outing the parallel stories of a Scottish rebel and a young Scottish woman pressed into servitude and sent to the Caribbean... he has a knack for bringing his many characters to life, and he makes palpable the raw violence of war and the uncompromising inequality of the period. It's a worthy epic." -- Publishers Weekly John Sayles is an American independent film director, screenwriter, actor, and novelist. He has twice been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, for Passion Fish (1992) and Lone Star (1996). He has written seven novels, the most recent being Yellow Earth (2020) and A Moment in the Sun (2011). Help support the show at patreon.com/literature or historyofliterature.com/donate.
