Ryan Koo and Jourdan Aldredge report from Fantastic Fest 2026 in Austin, Texas, where they explore how the festival is expanding beyond exhibiting genre films to helping filmmakers actually get movies made. They break down the first completed feature from Fantastic Pitches, Nicholas Curcio's Playhouse, what filmmakers can learn from its $100,000 production, and this year's ambitious winning pitch, Father Figure. They also discuss the value of pitching even when you don't win, the advantages of designing films around microbudget constraints, and some of the movies and filmmaking communities they've encountered at the festival. In this episode, No Film School's Ryan Koo and Jourdan Aldredge discuss... How Playhouse went from winning Fantastic Pitches to premiering at Fantastic Fest in just one year Designing a $100,000 movie around limitations like one location, a small cast, and practical aesthetics Why microbudget filmmakers need a creative “hack” that makes their limitations work for the movie How filmmakers can make a live pitch memorable with props, costumes, trailers, and a strong presentation Why being selected for Fantastic Pitches can create opportunities even if you don't win The ambitious Technocrane strategy behind this year's winning pitch, Father Figure What Ryan and Jordan noticed about the DIY films, filmmaking collectives, and genre community at Fantastic Fest Why festivals can have a bigger impact by supporting filmmakers before their movies are made Memorable Quotes: “With filmmaking it's always good, fast, cheap. Pick two. And with Fantastic Pitches, they're trying to do all three.” “You've gotta have a hack to make your pitch audience-friendly.” “The best route is the one that's available to you probably.” “It's easy to select things that turned out well. It's much harder to bet on them at the beginning and to actually help them bring something to fruition.” Resources: Fantastic Fest Fantastic Pitches 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

The right answers can still silence your own judgment:“I actually knew all the answers.”“I didn't know anything, but I knew how to be a reporter.”“Use your strengths.”Then the judges started asking questions...See BoldEncounters.TVChasing Bigger NamesYou can keep adding brands, credentials, and preparation yet lose direction. Anya Cheng came to the U.S. from Taiwan. Then she graduated in 2008 as the global financial crisis hit. Her English was still rough, and she barely knew anyone. So she fell back on what she knew: reporting. That helped her create her first opportunity. Sears/Kmart, Target, McDonald's, eBay, and Meta followed. But one question mostly didn't: who and what did she actually want to serve?Use What You HaveAnya starts with strengths, then tests what she thinks she knows. At eBay, she learned: you are not the customer. At Meta, she saw how a tiny percentage could still mean real pain for a real person. More data matters. So does getting closer to the people behind it. Mark's Table Turners series on Bold Immersion takes that further: use the numbers, then go see the customer's reality. Taelor now pairs AI with human stylists for busy men.Inside This Episode• How reporter instincts turned rejection into access• Why a business plan created her first U.S. opportunity• What eBay taught her about refusing customer assumptions• Why Meta showed percentages still need human context• How 43 practice pitches left one crucial skill untestedGo Deeper — Premium Action PlanBring one recent workweek into Anya's exercise. Look at what actually took your time. Then pick one task that feels like the wrong use of it. Her three-way test helps expose what deserves more of you, what could move elsewhere, and what may not belong at all. One small wording change also changes how you act on it.

Reporter instincts got her in the door. Product work taught her to create value. Big-name companies gave her bigger stages. But Taelor came from aiming those strengths at something she actually cared about.

Most people do not hate sales. They hate being sold at by somebody who has been waiting for them to inhale so the 47-slide deck can resume. In ROI Podcast® #515, Law Smith and Eric Readinger talk with Cam Tolman, founder of PitchDown™ and the Non-Sales Sales Coach, about what happens when you stop treating sales like a performance and start treating it like guided discovery. Cam's argument is simple: stop talking about yourself. Ask better questions. Listen closely. Help the buyer recognize the real gap between where they think they are and where they actually are. If the problem is real, the buyer can own it, understand what doing nothing costs, and decide whether movement makes sense. If the problem is not real, do not force a close just because somebody wrote a quota on a whiteboard. The guys break down why prospects say yes and still do nothing, why agreement is not the same thing as commitment, and why traditional discovery calls too often become sellers collecting information for themselves rather than helping buyers discover something useful about their own situation. They also get into why every employee influences revenue. Sales may be somebody's title, but support, marketing, product, operations, accounting, leadership, and every other customer-impacting function can improve or wreck the buying experience. Then it is AI vs. human intelligence. Cam uses AI for efficiency, but argues that important sales conversations still rely on empathy, human connection, curiosity, judgment, tone, facial expressions, pauses, body language, and the willingness to tell somebody the truth instead of whatever gets the signature fastest. Along the way: entrepreneurship, bad sales calls, buyer psychology, body-language tells, why "always be curious" beats "always be closing," and enough lightning-round nonsense to make sure nobody accidentally mistakes this for corporate sales enablement. Listen if you are a founder, salesperson, account manager, customer success leader, marketer, operator, consultant, executive, agency owner, or anybody whose paycheck eventually requires another human to agree, decide, approve, renew, buy, or move. Topics include how to sell without being salesy, sales psychology, buyer psychology, discovery selling, ethical sales, better sales questions, buyer self-discovery, sales without pressure, B2B sales, founder-led sales, AI in sales, human intelligence, empathy, active listening, customer experience, sales leadership, revenue growth, PitchDown™, and Cam Tolman.

They share tried-and-true strategies for what does work and what happens after the pitch actually lands.Emily and Nicole add real examples from church and organizational work, and Jon closes with a line that sums it all up: a good idea poorly communicated is a missed opportunity.

Bobby and Alex are joined by friend of the show Matthew Roberson for the sequel to 2025's much-lauded Sipping Pitches, AKA the MLB liquor taste test. They taste 11 (!!!) alcohols that are owned or prominently sponsored by MLB players and coaches while going around in round-robin fashion sharing takes, thought-provoking questions, and personal anecdotes. This year is bigger, better, and unquestionably drunker.

Hey, you! Be a buddy and take our listener survey! It'll help us keep the show great and maybe even...make it better?! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! - Producer Marissa and the MaxFilm Gang *** Is it possible for a sports comedy to fit the formula, but still break the mold? Josh Greenbaum, director of Barb and Starr Go to Vista Del Mar, takes a whack at it with THE DINK, starring Jake Johnson and Mary Steenburgen. It's streaming now on AppleTV. And we have comedian (and yes, pickleball enthusiast) Jaron Myers with us to discuss! Then we get some pitches together for thoroughly modern movies that wouldn't have made sense a few years (or decades) ago.  What's Good?

Yamal and Messi aren't the only stars of the World Cup finals. If you've been watching any of the games, you've probably stared directly at a huge, unsung hero: the turf. Turf grass science is a real thing, and it's John Sorochan's area of expertise. He's a scientist at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and he's spent the last eight years preparing for the grass pitch the players are scoring on. John had the daunting task of figuring out how to create consistency and uniformity across all the World Cup stadiums. That meant dozens of team base camps and 16 different stadiums where turf had to weather all kinds of conditions – from Mexico City's high altitude, to Miami's sweltering heat. Today on Short Wave, we dive into the science behind it all. Interested in more science behind your favorite sports?
