When the winds of curiosity rustle the mind and stir the soul, they often bring with them storytellers—those rare beings who don't just recount events but breathe life into them. On today's episode, we welcome Joe Kowalski, a young filmmaker from Cleveland whose creative spirit dances between shadows and light, weaving stories through film, mystery, and innovation.Joe Kowalski is a filmmaker, game designer, and storyteller whose projects explore new ways to experience narrative across media.In this profound conversation, we journey through Joe's unique endeavor—a Stephen King “Dollar Baby” short film adaptation titled I Am the Doorway. What begins as a seemingly simple homage to the horror maestro evolves into a lesson in humility, time management, and artistic vision. Joe's choice of story, influenced by a girlfriend and the limitations of a shoestring budget, was no accident. It was a study in resourcefulness—making the most of what one has while honoring a source of immense creative power. “You have to know what you can realistically accomplish,” Joe said. And that, my friends, is wisdom beyond years.Joe didn't stop at simply retelling a tale. He reframed the horror classic into a new cinematic experience, wrapping Stephen King's suspense within a short film festival format. This wasn't about profit or prestige—it was about community, experimentation, and delivering value to the audience. His respect for the time and effort of collaborators is unwavering: “That's the biggest thing they can give you,” he mused. And in a world obsessed with the bottom line, such reverence is sacred.But his imagination doesn't remain tethered to the screen. Joe designed an interactive Instagram murder mystery game—an elegant rebellion against linear storytelling. Through a labyrinth of tags and grids, players navigate a digital whodunit, one clue at a time. Each piece of the game reveals not just a path to the culprit, but a deeper truth about human curiosity and our hunger for connection. It's a digital scavenger hunt of intention, ingenuity, and play. A new mythology told in swipes and likes.Lest one believe that his path has been frictionless, Joe admits to the chaos of low-budget production, the stress of festivals, and the heartbreak of seeing good work shelved for lack of fit. Still, he views each project as a sculptor views stone—not yet perfect, but perfecting. His year-long film PRISM is another feather in this vibrant cap—a color-coded exploration of identity and emotional entanglement told through color-isolated cinematography. Here is a man who does not merely shoot films; he paints them.Throughout the conversation, what resounds most is Joe's blend of youthful energy and ancient patience. He reveres the creative process, yet he's unafraid to let go when the time calls for it. Whether planning podcasts with friends or studying the rise of VR storytelling, Joe doesn't merely chase the next trend—he studies its rhythm, its heartbeat, and asks how it might elevate human experience. “You have to care about the story even when you don't feel like caring about it,” he says—and that is the quiet devotion of an artist in bloom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

On the night of June 1, 1996, two ex-Marines and former roommates lied to their girlfriends and headed the local strip club where they spent hours drinking and propositioning dancers. Around 12am, when they failed to convince any of them to leave with them, they happened upon a stunning young woman named Kristen Crowley at a nearby convenience store. They were clearly confusing fantasy with reality. One of the men thought she looked just like one of the girls they'd seen at the club. Within one hour of her chance encounter with these two men, she was dead. This is the unfathomable story of the murder of Kristen Crowley. Thank you to journalists JM Lawrence, Julie Manganis, Emily Sweeney for providing information about this story.Music from Joe Kowalski and Andrew King appears in this episode.Crime of the Truest KindHosted by Anngelle Wood Online: crimeofthetruestkind.comFollow facebook | instagram | twitter Show notes for all episodes at crimeofthetrustkind.com
We all wear a lot of hats in a business, there are so many things to think about day in day out. You know if you have ever listened to this podcast I am a huge fan of automation and systems, doing whatever you don't do best should be a farmed out task. A good CRM program is just that, it serves as the brain performing different functions such as Scheduling, Customer History (You do not want to put someone in twice), KPI's (More on that Later) and the almighty MARKETING!!! If properly set up with good nutrition (Your companies information, habits, frequency, ect) you will get the most out of it. It's no different than an athlete that is training hard and eats right, what goes into all of that is no different than how you as an entrepreneur think about your company. In Episode #26 of Season 2 we discuss that with Joe Kowalski of ServiceMonster one of the pioneers to the service business sector that has become the go to source since 2003. You will learn invaluable information even if this is not the right platform for you!! Again Ty John Burdick for hooking me up with Joe!! Servicemonster.net
#truecrime #newenglandcrimestories #truecrimepodcast In part two, we learn about the dark double life of a man who'd turned to murder to escape his mounting problems.Rachel and Neil Entwistle were a happy couple, new parents to Lillian Rose, born in April 2005. They’d returned to Rachel’s home state of Massachusetts to raise the baby and be closer to Rachel’s family. A native of Worksop, England, Neil was looking to make a go of it in the US. They'd met when Rachel was studying abroad at York University in Northern England and Neil was working on a degree in Engineering. Their love blossomed on the rowing team - the boat house was on Love Lane. It was clear to everyone who knew them that they were destined to be together forever. That's why the events of January 20, 2006 were so shocking and left everyone in disbelief.Crime of the Truest KindHosted by Anngelle Wood Online at CrimeoftheTruestKind.cominstagram.com/crimeofthetruestkindtwitter.com/truestkindfacebook.com/crimeofthetruestkindAvailable everywhere you get your storiescrimeofthetruestkind.buzzsprout.comThank you, Andrew King and Joe Kowalski for use of some songs that appear in this episode

...die zweite Folge, die aus dem Rahmen fällt, der - ähmmm - Trilogy! Aber... wir haben uns entschieden, aus der Trilogy doh eher eine Duology zu machen. Sprich, es gibt keine explizite "Jorgo in Athen"-Folge. Schade... Nun zu dieser Folge: Jan erzählt eine Geschichte, die er vor 10 Jahren geschrieben hat. Vorschlag: Tee kochen, relaxen, zuhören.... Die Musik ist diesmal nicht aus dem PodSafe-Musik-Network sondern ist von Jan gefunden worden. Ein Bekannter der gesagt hat, "na klar könnt Ihr das spielen". Danke. Hier nochmals Info's zu dem Song, der "Lost in Germany" heißt: "Hallo Jan, besten Dank für Dein Interesse an meiner Musik! Das Stück "Lost in Germany" entstand, als ich nach einem langjährigen Aufenthalt im Ausland nach acht Jahren wieder zurück nach Deutschland kam und mich auch echt "Lost in Germany" fühlte. Du kannst gerne auf meine jetzige Webseite www.kowalski-blues.de verweisen, mit dem Zusatz, dass Mad Dr.K. jetzt "Smokin' Joe Kowalski" heißt und seit 2004 mit seiner Band selbstverfassten, semi-akustischen Blues mit deutschen Texten spielt sowie schon über zahlreiche Auftritte und eine umfangreiche Referenzliste verfügt, die erste offizielle CD wird bald erscheinen. Es wäre nett, wenn Du mich wissen lassen könntest, wann der Podcast verfügbar ist. Viele Grüße Kai" In diesem Sinne... Viel Spaß beim hören. Holger
