Filmmakers! Welcome back to a very special Business of Film edition of The Filmmakers Podcast. Today, we are cutting through the absolute nonsense and delivering a survival guide for how to fund, produce, and sell an independent film in the current market. Host Giles Alderson is joined by an expert powerhouse panel: film industry data analyst Stephen Follows, director-producer and AI tech expert Hilary Shakespeare, independent director-producer Dom Lenoir, and VP of Distribution at Quantify Sales, Dimo Alexandrov. Together, they break down the exact numbers of what sold, why horror and elevated genre remain king, the catastrophic mistakes indie producers are making on the Croisette, and the real impact of AI on the future of cinema. Whether you are prepping a project for production or trying to close a distribution deal, this episode is a mandatory masterclass on how to navigate the international market right now. Come Fully Prepared: Before approaching any sales agent or distributor, you must know your exact budget top-sheet, your realistic cast options, your shoot locations, and your tax credit strategy. Do not pitch an abstract idea; pitch a business plan. The Sweet Spot Budget: The current market "sweet spot" for independent genre films is £1.2M–£1.5M. Going higher requires highly recognizable names; going lower works best in horror where a strong, high-concept hook can carry the film. Horror and Rom-Coms are Leading: Horror and elevated genre films remain the most bulletproof, reliable bets globally. However, romantic comedies are making a significant comeback—particularly book adaptations and projects with established cast members. The Market Moves Early: The traditional Cannes calendar has shifted. A massive portion of business and deal-making was finalized the weekend before the official market doors opened. Start your outreach and schedule your virtual meetings much earlier next year. Personalize or Perish: Sales agents are swamped with generic copy-and-paste pitch emails that don't even mention their company slate. Take the time to research exactly who you are contacting and explain why your project specifically fits their portfolio. Badges Matter Less Than Presence: The most lucrative business deals and connections didn't happen inside the secure zones; they happened in bars, beach parties, and informal networking spots. Even without an official market badge, it is still worth being on the ground. AI is a Tool, Not a Writer: The panel consensus is clear—leverage AI for workflow efficiencies like scheduling, budgeting, localized dubbing, and storyboarding. However, original human voice and lived experiences are the only things that truly make a film connect with an audience. Understand Gen Z: Gen Z is now the largest cinema-going demographic, but their tastes, media consumption, and viewing habits differ drastically from previous generations. You must understand how to market directly to them. Work the Other 360 Days: Cannes is a momentary flashpoint, not a long-term strategy. The filmmakers finding genuine traction are building relationships, sending screeners, and doing Zoom calls all year round. The Follow-Up Strategy: Don't let your market contacts go cold. Connect on LinkedIn or Instagram (read the room on which platform fits best), screenshot their contact info so you don't lose it, and follow up within a few days with a personalized, contextual message.

On Thursday 21st May, we learnt of the passing of Matt Biggs - horticultural everyman, incredibly nice guy, and titan in both knowledge of our industry and hobby, but also fabulous communicator as well. Matt's career spanned all mediums from Tv, Book, Press and also Radio, where he spent 30 years delighting Garden Question Time audiences with his passion and wit for horticulture.

Most men think being great in bed comes down to technique. Justin Patrick Pierce learned the hard way it doesn't — after years in the pickup artist scene dating 13 women at once, he discovered the real foundations had nothing to do with performance. What actually makes a man a great lover? Conflict management — and nobody ever teaches you this. In this episode, Justin unpacks why communication in relationships is the skill that determines whether passion runs hot or dies quietly. He met his wife Londin Angel Winters sixteen years ago, and together they've built a practice around sacred sex, emotional intimacy, and the kind of honest conflict that actually deepens desire rather than killing it. We get into why couples lose attraction (hint: it starts with resentment in relationships), how to heal resentment before it calcifies, and why staying present through discomfort is what separates men who keep the spark alive from men who watch their relationships go room temperature. Justin Patrick Pierce has spent sixteen years in an intimate laboratory: his own marriage to Londin Angel Winters. Developing, testing, and refining a body of work on sacred sexuality and spiritual intimacy. He is not a therapist. He is not a theorist. He is a practitioner who teaches what he lives, and who lives what he teaches. His approach is nondual at its root: beneath the dance of Alpha and Omega, there is one consciousness knowing itself through the polarity of two. Understanding this changes everything about how you meet your partner, your desire, and yourself. Key Topics:  ⭐ Pickup Culture vs Real Intimacy⭐ The Power Of Feeling Seen⭐ Why Couples Lose Passion⭐ Conflict Without Losing Attraction⭐ Presence In Relationships⭐ Ego vs Vulnerability⭐ Sacred Sex & Emotional Intimacy⭐ Keeping The Spark Alive

One of Anubha Sahasrabuddhe’s proudest moments was getting Chinese consumers to drink Coca-Cola – and lots of it. Earlier in her career, Sahasrabuddhe, now the chief executive of brewing giant Lion, was asked to go to China in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics and take on the competition, Pepsi. Sahasrabuddhe’s stint was a success, but there were also failures. The experience led the chief executive to adopt a strategy she says the tech industry has mastered. On this week’s episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten sits down with the boss of Australia’s second biggest brewing company to find out how past mistakes have shaped future wins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mary Wooldridge, the outgoing chief executive of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, worked for the media tycoon in the late 1990s.

On this week’s episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten finds out why the former politician traded a Packer deal-making role for public policy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dee Salmin has spent years talking to other people about love, sex and relationships as the host of triple j’s The Hook Up. But behind the mic, her own dating life was far more complicated than you might expect. In her early twenties, Dee found herself stuck in a pattern — chasing men who were hot and cold, accepting behaviour she now knows she deserved better than, and constantly seeking validation that never quite stuck. So she made a radical decision. She stopped dating entirely. For nearly three years, Dee went “boy sober”, stepping away from apps, relationships and even casual flings to figure out who she was without men at the centre of her life. In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, Dee opens up about what that time taught her, the therapy that helped her understand her patterns, and the moment everything shifted. She also shares what it’s been like to find love again — this time in the public eye — and how she’s approached building a relationship on her own terms, without losing herself in it. And beyond her own story, Dee reflects on the reality of modern dating, why so many women feel like the bar is on the floor, and what it actually takes to build a relationship that feels secure, respectful and real.

After leaving her 20 year marriage and finding her self single scared and confused in New York Amy @love.amy.nyc ❤️embarked on a brave exploration to find her truth. Now she can charge $40,000 to help others find love which she did !“I track all of the beautiful love stories that I've had the privilege of watching bloom. And one thing they all have in common is this: unbridled and glowing gratitude for each other.It's the kind of energy that beams “We can't believe we get to DO this together.”In early dating, look for signs that this person sees life through the lens of gratitude. How do they speak about their loved ones? How do they show up for them? Do they take them for granted?What role do they play in their family? In their friend group?The way they speak about their ex is a clue. Even if they had a tough breakup or divorce, do they speak with integrity about them? Do they own their part?The couples I've witnessed cannot believe how lucky they are to have found each other. It's so heart opening to watch. You deserve that, too.”Amy is a holistic dating coach and author of Dating for the One, which will launch in 2027.Love, Amy is her coaching business that marries the technology of modern dating with a holistic view of human-to-human energy and connection. ❤️Amy lives with her husband Brett (they met on Bumble!) in Los Angeles and New York City. Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

“I did not tell my sister that our other sister was dying. Silence was the right choice, yet murky and painful”In family estrangement, the mud and dirt gets everywhere, Kathryn Heyman writes. “And it is very hard to undo what has been done”She is the author of 9 novels, and the acclaimed memoir, Fury. She has won numerous awards infact almost too many to mention.Her new book “Circle of Wonders”is a novel about facing death while rediscovering life, and about the messy grace that emerges when people who've hurt one another choose to love anyway.Roni is running out of time.As cancer claims her body, she begins a Book of Wonders, capturing the small, luminous moments she once overlooked.

Fleur Marks was a high performer who built a successful career on drive and relentless high standards. Until the pace that fuelled this ambition triggered a life-threatening health crisis and landed her in what she describes as the ‘waiting room of death'. Fleur survived. But she also woke up. Because beneath a polished surface, countless other high achievers are silently exhausted and questioning whether relentless striving is worth the cost. The truth? Many are trapped in the ‘overachiever's cycle', an unsustainable pattern where self-worth is tethered to achievement and external validation. For Fleur, what followed was not a retreat from ambition, but a total life reset. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science and a decade of lived experience, she rebuilt how she lived, led and defined success. Now she shares this blueprint in her new book, The Overachiever's Reset which combines Fleurs deeply personal story with practical tools for those who want impact without implosion.Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

I think we have a couple of emerging themes as we come to the end of week four of Operation Epic Fury. If you follow Australia as closely as I do, you will, like me, have been filled with a sense of pride or surprise that we are out doing them in adultness. Yes, unions here and media have pedalled the usual BS on more money for every man and their dog, let's work from home, let's panic about days left of petrol etc. But believe me – in Australia it's been worse. They have lost their you-know-what. They are at each other. It's not helped by their state system and that tension between state and federal and the confusion over who is doing what, and when, and whether it's any good. Stations have run dry, not because they don't have fuel, but because they don't know how to drive a truck up the road. Rural has been going at city, punter has been going at petrol operator, the Coalition and One Nation have been going at Labour. It's been a free for all bitchathon, driven by an underlying panic. Another realisation – despite the fact a few hundred people have bought a BYD, it has become stunningly clear just how far off a renewable future we are. Buy all the EVs you want and cycle until you are blue in the face. The cold, hard truth is that solar and batteries do not, nor I suspect will they ever in our lifetime, run a country. Diesel runs a country. You put oil in tractors and trucks and in factories. We can be grateful our power is mostly renewable and that means we are better off than most of the world, including Australia. But the cold, hard truth is a small bit of water carrying only 20% of the overall supply can cripple a planet, or it will if this thing isn't over shortly. We have of course been here before. Oil has been an issue in the 70's and early 2000's. Did we change because of it? No. Did we say we should, or would? Probably. But we didn't. And you know why? Because we can't. Until the combine harvester runs on wind and the plane takes off using batteries and every factory, farmer and person who produces anything we wear, or eat, or live with does it differently, oil is it. The whole renewables argument has been blown sky high. The world has never used, nor needed, more fossil fuels. Four weeks of a scrap in one country has laid theory vs reality bare.

Blending travel writing, history and reportage, our guest on this week's Colombia Calling podcast is award-winning journalist and author Shafik Meghji who tells a tale of footballers and pirates, nitrate kings and wool barons, polar explorers and cowboys, missionaries and radical MPs. From a ghost town in one of the world's driest deserts to a far-flung ranch in the sub-polar tundra; rusting whaling stations in the South Atlantic to an isolated railway built by convicts. '[An] appealing fusion of travelogue and history, excavating the roots and remnants of British influence in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.' - The Observer 'This is travel writing as much as history. Meghji has the true travel writer's eye for the comic, pathetic and tragic, and for the places where they collide. . . This is writing full of rust, wind and sadness. It captures splendidly the air of South America and the long, withdrawing roar of an empire whose influence once reached far beyond its political borders.' — The Times So tune in to hear our conversation with Shafik. https://www.shafikmeghji.com/   And, the Colombia Briefing is reported by Grace Brennan. 

QUESTION; is your training actually buildiing the muscle that creates shape? Do you know the difference between what feels hard vs what is effective?Tracey didnt... but she swore her training was already in place and that it was a dieting issue holding her back... so-many of you may be asking... how can i actually get toned? ive been dieting but im still not seeing muscle definition!if you're training hard, “eating pretty good,” and still looking… just not toned like you hoped… ? this episode is for you.because the problem usually isn't that you need another fat loss phase or to get tighter on your calories. You simply CANNOT diet your way into a physique that requires muscle.in episode 467, i'm joined by Tracey — and her story is basically every woman who's lived on low calories, done the shakes, done the “clean up,” lost weight… and still didn't look like she lifted.what changed everything wasn't a new meal plan or even tweaking her diet… Yeah she did start eating more… and in fact we increased her maintenance calories only a couple of months in.. BUTit was training like it actually made the biggest change. She thought it was just needing to get the fuelling right - that her training was already set. She loved it. She showed up. She followed all the “right things” she got off her social media account - ONLY…… she wasnt, it wasnt - .we talk about:why “i train hard” doesn't mean your muscles are getting the messagethe leg press epiphany that took her from ticking boxes to real progression (locking in, depth, failure reps)why 3×12 and rep targets can keep you stuck (because you're quitting early without realizing it)the underrated power of rest, bracing, and setup (the unsexy stuff that literally builds the body)fueling like someone who wants performance (yes, carbs — oats + banana + honey became her preworkout non-negotiable)and the biggest one: what happened when she finally ditched the scale and stopped needing daily reassuranceif you've been stuck in the loop of “i'll just lose the fat first”… this might be the episode that makes you stop and go: oh. i've been doing it backwards.how carbs + maintenance calories made her train harder, recover better, and actually stay consistentand the scale piece… because if the scale has been your main metric, it's also been your main triggerinstagram: @transformxrubydm me the word: RECOMP on IG if you resonate with thisand if you want to reach out to tracey - she would love to chatkeywords: body recomposition, build muscle, strength training for women, training to failure, progressive overload, maintenance calories, carbs for training, scale obsession, dieting fatigue, perimenopause fitness

Casey Dellacqua is one of Australia’s greatest doubles tennis players. During her career, the West Australian played eight Grand Slam finals, including in 2011 when she won the French Open mixed doubles title alongside American Scott Lipsky.

We've got a big one for you today on the Fozcast… we're joined by current Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens!

To find out what is says, and what we can learn from NZ's response, Professor Marc Wilson from Victoria University's school of Psychology chats to Jesse.

Tim Bateman is a former professional rugby player who has transitioned from pro sport into the world of business and for me personally is the smartest man I met in the game. Every conversation I have ever had with him I have learnt something and this is certainly no different. From the structure and discipline of professional rugby to the chaos and pressure of running a fast-growing wellness franchise, Tim opens up about what it really takes to build something that lasts. He speaks honestly about fear of failure, responsibility, timing, sales, leadership, and why business can feel even harder than playing the game.In this episode of What a Lad, Tim breaks down the framework he uses to think about business — PRIME — This is a real look at what works, what fails, and what most people get wrong before they even start.In this episode, we cover…- The fear of failure that drives him - Why business is “sport on steroids”- The first question you need to ask before starting a business- Why opportunity comes before passion- Why product is the most important part of any business- The biggest factor in success (and it's not talent or resources)- Why great businesses can still fail- Sales being the lifeblood of a business- Building systems so your business doesn't rely on you- The importance of energy, language, and culture- Risk, timing, and why waiting until you feel ready might be too lateTim is articulate, thoughtful, and refreshingly honest about what life after rugby can look like. This episode is packed with practical wisdom for athletes, entrepreneurs, and anyone thinking about building something of their own. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I chose this recording - an orchestral Korean recording from Seoul, 1972 - after initially earmarking another sound, but this one spoke to me with its uplifting, playful and mischievous spirit & felt right. Atmospherically, it evoked a busy market place or a ceremonial dance, putting me in mind of the benevolent chaos of the ‘hungry ghost' concept - more of which later.The instruments featured in the recording are: traditional Korean percussion - probably a Janggu - and two double-reeded wind instruments : the Hojok and the Hyang P'iri, both similar in tone to an oboe and known for their loud and powerful sound. After several listens through, I honed in on particular phrases that I liked - ones I might start building a new sound world around. My approach is to improvise with electronics and various instrumentation, until I generate clusters of "sympathetic" musical ideas that complement the source recording and suggest further layers. I view this as a collaboration - a conversation between me and the recordings.One of the first things I noticed was the challenge of finding accompaniment that felt in tune, because the original recording is not in standard Western tuning - as you would imagine. My years of playing South East Asian Gamelan and love of tuned percussion, would help me to embrace the piece's wonderfully "wonky" quality.The recordings were really inspiring to work with, generating lots of material which needed to be focussed. My initial piece reached an impasse, so I started a second piece which became the piece you will hear - along with some incorporated moments from the first piece. I became concerned that the work was becoming “too much about me” - maybe the recording's were getting lost a bit - so I used the trick of using some film footage of Korean life in the 70s, and importing it into Logic for me to watch whilst composing - a way of keeping me in tune with the original essence of the time, location and character of the recording. I also wanted to incorporate the sound of the Korean language somehow and in the process of developing the piece I'd started to feel like I was "dancing with ghosts": the ones inhabiting the recordings, but also my own recently departed loved ones. So not surprisingly, the piece became an homage to ancestral spirits.It all fell into place when I introduced the Korean phrases "ghost dance" and "dancing with ghosts", and settled on the title "How I learnt to live with ghosts". This seemed a fitting double meaning to me, after deeply engaging with this haunting sound recording, I felt I'd danced and collaborated with a moment in the past, from a different culture and time, always conscious of honouring and respecting the origins of the sound and its social and cultural history. I hope that my sonic storytelling has succeeded in that intention, mixing together the personal and the source material into a compelling listen.Instrumentals featuring the hyang piri and hojok reimagined by Tim Saul.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

What happens when we mistake compliance for strength?In this episode of Thriving Minds, Professor Selena Bartlett explores a powerful and confronting conversation with a man who was proud of the physical punishment he received as a child. He believed it made him disciplined. He believed it taught him consequences. He believed it made him better.But beneath that story lies a deeper question: when does discipline build character, and when does it condition helplessness?Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science, and parallels from the multi-billion-dollar horse industry, Selena unpacks the psychology of learned helplessness — the state that occurs when repeated stress teaches a nervous system that effort does not change outcomes. A quiet being is not always a regulated being. Sometimes it is a shut-down one.From parenting to leadership, from classrooms shaped by industrial efficiency to the rise of AI-driven optimisation, this episode challenges us to rethink control, compliance, and the architecture of agency.True resilience is not built through fear. It is built through co-regulation, relationship, and adults who can pause rather than react.If we want thriving minds, communities, and countries, we must ask ourselves:Are we building agency — or perfecting compliance?#ThrivingMinds #LearnedHelplessness #IntergenerationalTrauma #AgencyMatters #Neuroscience #Parenting #Leadership #Resilience #EmotionalRegulation #CoRegulation #HumanDevelopment #BeyondCompliance #DontBreakTheirSpiritSupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com
