What if filmmakers took their cameras to space? Prepare for a world of zero-G cinematography! From weather-sealed cameras designed to handle unexpected astronaut vomit to the perpetual hum of life-support systems ruining your audio, documentary filmmaking in orbit presents unique challenges. Discover why the International Space Station's lighting is "just awful," how playing a guitar in microgravity sends you spinning in unexpected directions, and why the first task in every Mars simulation is fixing the eternally broken toilet. Explore how future space workers will need specialized trade skills—from plumbers to welders—as humanity expands beyond Earth. This thought-provoking "what if" scenario features insights from documentary filmmaker Sam Burbank and Explore Mars CEO Chris Carberry. —— Chris Carberry is the CEO and co-founder of Explore Mars, Inc.

Ho Ho Ho-bert and Mike are back for another episode of Script Rippers!!!

Jaron Lockridge of the Jackson (TN) Police Department stops by to share his war stories.  Jaron is a 10 year police veteran but in his heart he's an indie filmmaker. He used his real-life experience on the force to create the narrative for his independent film THE STIX, now streaming on VOD. Growing up in Bolivar, Tennessee, a small town 45 minutes east of Memphis, Jaron became interested in filmmaking as a high school sophomore in 2002.

Join us for a discussion with Cam, Ben Pauling, Sam Pauling and Steven Cox as they cover the movie Cam has been acting in and the process and message of producing the movie, “DREAM”.  ​​The movie “DREAM” covers the evil that's pervaded our world which is at an all time high and our children are the ones that pay the most. Getting everyday people to do something about the reality that 2 Million children are trafficked every year is a daunting task, especially when our own media and entertainment industry wish to silence that truth.
