In this episode Gearóid talks to his favourite actress of all time: Tyne Daly. Tyne Daly is a celebrated star of stage and screen. She once dreamed of becoming a nun to the theatre, but a stint as Dirty Harry's sidekick in "The Enforcer" led to her starring opposite Loretta Switt in a tv movie of the week called "Cagney & Lacey" which was a buddy film about two women working as New York police officers. The movie turned into a series and despite some bumps and cast changes the show went on to become iconic television. During the series run both Tyne and her co-star Sharon Gless were nominated for the Best Actress Emmy with one of them taking home the prize each season. Tyne won an unprecedented three in a row and also took another in the last season. "Cagney and Lacey" was the first time in the history of network television that an hour was turned over to tell stories about women. It is widely accepted that the show changed the way women were perceived in television. Tyne's hasn't stopped working since. She went to Broadway and one a Tony for "Gypsy" and returned to the theatre in a string of new plays including the Pulitzer Prize winning "Rabbit Hole". Recently she starred opposite Sally Field in "Hello My Name Is Doris", the revival of ninties sitcom "Murphy Brown" and "Spiderman: Homecoming". This interview was recorded live at the Townhall Theatre, Galway as part of the Galway Film Fleadh where Tyne was promoting her new movies "The Bread Factory Parts One and Two" Directed by Patrick Wang.

Houston-born filmmaker Patrick Wang has taken a decidedly unconventional road to his current career - an economist turned playwright turned filmmaker, Wang crafts (and self-distributes) works that are ambitious in scope, yet intimate in impact. His latest project is A Bread Factory, a two-part film series following a small arts community in upstate New York threatened by everything from bourgeois corporate-funded art to the invasion of deeply strange tourists with their own alien styles of communication. Wang's approach in both Bread Factorys hearkens back to everything from the loose, conversational ensembles of Robert Altman to the smooth casualness of John Cassavetes, punctuated with a surprisingly theatrical edge reminiscent of Ozu and New Taiwan Cinema. The residents of the town (and, occasionally, its invaders) are lovingly rendered with a vibrant, endearing cast including Tyne Daly, James Marsters, and the late, great Brian Murray, among other faces more unknown but no less gripping. Both films function perfectly well on their own, affecting two decidedly different tones - Part 1 more of a semi-realistic ensemble dramedy, Part 2 making room for greater musicality - but in concert they're a beautiful treatise on the transformative virtues of art, and the value of community that shares those joys together. This week, Wang braved the Chicago chill to stop by The Spool Studios for a fun, insightful chat about A Bread Factory Parts 1 & 2, discussing everything from Euripides to his affection for the two-shot, and the strange mixture of idealism and panic that happens in real, small arts communities. (More of a Comment, Really… is a proud member of the Chicago Podcast Coop. Thanks to The House Theater of Chicago for sponsoring this episode; their latest show, Pinocchio: A Tall Tale About Telling the Truth, runs till May 19th.)

Filmmaker Patrick Wang joined Sam today to discuss how drawing on his experiences growing up in Houston, TX, being an exchange student in Argentina, studying at MIT, and how he perceives other people influence the films he creates. They also talked about why he self-distributes his films, the rejection he has to deal with constantly, and how he overcomes it.
Part One: For the Sake of Gold Forty years ago, Dorothea (Tyne Daly) and Greta (Elisabeth Henry) moved to the town of Checkford and bought an abandoned bread factory that they transformed into an arts space. Here they host movies, plays, dance, exhibits and artists. It’s where civic groups and immigrant communities can meet, where there are after school programs for children. Now a celebrity couple—performance artists from China—have come to Checkford. They’ve constructed a huge building, the FEEL Institute, down the street. It is a strange sight for a small town. Dorothea and Greta learn about a new proposal to give all the funding from the school system for their children’s arts programs to the FEEL Institute. Without this funding, the Bread Factory would not survive. They quickly rally the community to save their space. The commercial forces behind the FEEL Institute fight also, bringing a young movie star to town to help make their case. The school board meeting turns into a circus where the fate of the Bread Factory hangs in the balance. A Bread Factory, Part Two: Walk with Me a While Checkford hasn’t been the same since the school board meeting. Mysteriously, the reporter who runs the local newspaper disappears. Bizarre tourists start to show up, then come mysterious tech start-up workers. With all the new people, real estate is booming. Amidst all these distractions, Dorothea and Greta try to continue their work. They are rehearsing a production of HECUBA by Euripides. On the day they open the play, Dorothea gets the news that the Bread Factory will lose an essential piece of their funding. The beautiful opening night performance of HECUBA plays to a tiny audience. Brokenhearted, Dorothea and Greta must decide whether to give up their work at the Bread Factory because their community and support has disappeared, or to continue in their struggle to build community through art. Patrick Wang was born in Texas, the son of Taiwanese immigrants. He graduated from MIT with a degree in economics and music and theater arts. He has studied game theory, health policy, and income inequality at the Federal Reserve, the Harvard School for Public Health, and other organizations. He is author of the books THE MONOLOGUE PLAYS and POST SCRIPT, an interactive book about the making of THE GRIEF OF OTHERS. His first film IN THE FAMILY was released to critical acclaim in the US and France and hailed “an indie masterpiece” by Roger Ebert. He was named one of the "25 New Faces of Independent Film" by Filmmaker Magazine, and the New York Times remarked, “This is a career to keep an eye on.” Director and writer Patrick Wang joins us for a conversation on his brilliant, funny, touching, humanist rumination on art, relationships and MAY RAY.
