Seconds in Eternity, 42min., Estonia/Germany Directed by Christian Schu An elegant woman in her later years feels the relentless march of time as she mourns her lost youth and missed chances. Alone in a dimly lit room, her life seems to fade with each cigarette she smokes. She observes a vibrant young woman, envying her youth and vitality. Through her introspections, we explore her deep desires and regrets. The narrative, rich with poetry and flashbacks, takes a dramatic turn with a potential murder, leading to a surprising twist. Despite its dark beginnings as a Film Noir, the film transforms into a celebration of life, ending on a hopeful, life-affirming note. https://secondsineternity.com/ https://instagram.com/christian_schu_film Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? Marina Welsch, the main actress contacted me in 2022, having this film idea and some sort of script. I loved the idea behind, added my own value and took it from there.I loved the idea of showing that, to be able to heal, we have to unite with ourselves first. Our past is an important part of us and we must accept it, to come further in life, to reach the next level. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? October 2022 til February 2025 – 2 years and 4 months. How would you describe your film in two words!? Worth watching. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? The biggest obstacle was surely creating this film on a very low budget, while everyone of us had other projects simultaneously. But the whole crew was amazing and we've made it work out. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? I honestly had goosebumps from listening to the audience talking about Seconds in Eternity. I've been thrilled to get such a positive feedback. Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, I share my personal approach to physical fitness, which includes yoga and full-body workouts at the fitness studio. I also emphasize the importance of incorporating sauna sessions to alleviate muscle soreness. Fitness, for me, is not about bodybuilding; it's about finding what works for you and making it a part of your 'me time.' I believe that fitness is akin to meditation, allowing us to clear our minds and focus on our well-being.I also discuss my current reading material, which includes a challenging book that draws parallels between societal issues from a century ago and today. This book encourages a return to seeing women as human beings rather than objects, a message that resonates deeply in our current climate. Additionally, I delve into the teachings of Joe Dispenza, whose meditations I find beneficial yet challenging due to their length and the need for focus.Throughout our conversation, I stress the importance of maintaining a positive mindset amidst the negativity that often surrounds us. I share my experiences in the media industry, which have taught me to be cautious about the information I consume. I avoid watching news and political content, focusing instead on self-improvement through meditation and reading.Music is another passion of mine, and I reveal my love for 80s music, including artists like Sinead O'Connor and Depeche Mode. I appreciate the diversity of music available today and how it enriches our lives. I also touch on my current TV shows and movies, highlighting the storytelling and artistry that captivates me.In closing, I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery and improvement. Let's focus on being the best versions of ourselves and helping each other along the way. If you're interested in filmmaking, I also share my insights and experiences on my social media platforms, where I aim to support aspiring filmmakers. Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you find inspiration in my journey and tips for your own fitness and personal growth.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Physical Fitness Discussion00:01:44 - Current Reads00:05:12 - Media Consumption and Personal Philosophy00:08:01 - Current Music Playlist00:13:55 - Current TV Show00:15:08 - Movie Discussion: Asteroid City00:16:45 - Movie Discussion: Other Films and Directors00:19:16 - Guest's Social Media and Projects00:20:08 - Guest's Future Plans and Final Words

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this video, I share my insights on the importance of a morning routine and how it can transform your day. My morning routine is a blend of yoga, journaling, and planning that sets the tone for my day. I believe that having a structured start is crucial for productivity and mental clarity. I often draw inspiration from Robin Sharma's '5 a.m. Club,' which emphasizes the discipline of waking up early. However, I also stress that the key is to find a routine that fits your lifestyle. For me, I wake up at 7:30 a.m. on standard days, but I adjust my schedule when filming. The discipline of waking up at the same time every day is what truly matters. I also discuss the importance of a nighttime routine, especially when traveling across time zones. I use melatonin to help reset my internal clock, allowing me to adapt to different environments. Family values play a significant role in my life, especially when I travel to Asia, where family gatherings are cherished. This sense of community and support is something I deeply appreciate. I also touch on the benefits of meditation, which helps me calm my mind and refocus. It's not about achieving a specific goal but rather about being present and allowing thoughts to flow. I encourage everyone to incorporate some form of meditation into their lives, even if it's just for five minutes. The discipline of taking time for yourself can lead to greater clarity and productivity. Join me as I explore these themes and share my experiences.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this video, I dive into the filmmakers who have inspired me the most throughout my journey in filmmaking. From Quentin Tarantino's unique storytelling style to Christopher Nolan's innovative techniques, I share my thoughts on what makes their work so impactful. Tarantino's use of violence as a stylistic choice and his chapter-based storytelling in films like 'Kill Bill' have always fascinated me. I appreciate how he keeps audiences guessing about how the chapters connect, creating a compelling narrative. Wes Anderson's attention to detail, especially in films like 'Asteroid City,' captivates me as well. I often find myself watching films on airplanes, fully immersed in the experience, and Anderson's work is no exception. His characters and storytelling approach resonate deeply with me. Then there's Christopher Nolan, who I admire for his ability to tell complex stories in a concise manner. His background in commercial advertising has shaped his storytelling skills, allowing him to convey powerful narratives in a short amount of time. I discuss how his films, like 'Interstellar,' explore profound themes of family and sacrifice, and how his commitment to practical effects enhances the viewing experience. I also touch on the importance of a strong script, as seen in shows like 'Westworld,' and how it can keep viewers engaged across multiple episodes. I reflect on the emotional depth of films like 'Interstellar' and 'Oppenheimer,' and how they leave a lasting impact on audiences. Join me as I explore these filmmakers' influences and share my passion for cinema. Whether you're a budding filmmaker or a film enthusiast, there's something to learn from these masters of storytelling.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this video, I want to talk about how you direct actors. Directing actors is not just about giving them lines to read; it's about understanding the nuances of performance and creating an environment where they can thrive. I start by reading the scene and letting it roll for the first time to see what the actors bring to the table. This initial take is crucial because it allows me to gauge their instincts and creativity. I believe in being straightforward and honest with my actors. If something doesn't resonate with me, I won't sugarcoat it. I think it's essential to avoid overacting and instead focus on authenticity. Actors often get caught up in their heads, trying to deliver the perfect line, but the best performances come from a place of genuine emotion and spontaneity. I draw inspiration from greats like Uta Hagen and Julia Roberts, who emphasize the importance of being present in the moment. The casting process is also vital; finding the right person for the role can make all the difference. Sometimes, the best actors are those who have lived through similar experiences, as they can tap into real emotions. However, it's also important to recognize that not every actor can deliver under pressure. I've seen talented individuals freeze on set, and it can be a devastating experience for them. As a director, I strive to create a supportive atmosphere where actors can feel comfortable exploring their characters. Ultimately, directing is about collaboration and trust. I want my actors to feel empowered to take risks and explore their roles fully. By fostering an environment of creativity and honesty, we can create something truly special together.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this video, I dive deep into the realities of filmmaking and the misconceptions that often plague aspiring filmmakers. Many believe that going to film school is the ultimate path to success, but I challenge that notion. While film school provides valuable knowledge about terminology and roles, it can also create a rigid mindset where students feel confined to their designated roles. I emphasize the importance of flexibility and collaboration on set. If you see something that needs changing, don't hesitate to take action, regardless of your title. Filmmaking is a team effort, and every member's contribution is crucial. I share my personal experiences of long shooting days, often stretching from early morning until late at night, and the importance of maintaining focus and energy throughout. Eating on set can be a distraction, and I often prefer to keep my meals light to avoid feeling sluggish. I discuss the challenges of working with limited crew and the necessity of being hands-on, especially when you're starting out in the industry. Filmmaking is not just about directing; it extends into the editing room, where the vision truly comes to life. I stress the importance of being involved in the editing process and collaborating closely with your editor to ensure your vision is realized. Many films have suffered due to poor editing decisions, and it's vital to be present and engaged throughout the entire process. Ultimately, I want to inspire you to embrace the hard work and dedication that filmmaking demands. If you're serious about pursuing a career in this field, be prepared to get your hands dirty and fully commit to your craft. Remember, filmmaking is not just a job; it's a passion that requires resilience and a willingness to adapt. So, if you're ready to take the plunge, let's get started on this incredible journey together!00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:07 - Role of Film School and Job Roles in Filmmaking00:00:54 - Work Day and Eating Habits on Set00:01:56 - Importance of Focus and Commitment in Filmmaking00:02:49 - Challenges of Setting Up a Film Set00:05:53 - The Reality of the Filmmaking Industry00:07:05 - The Importance of Getting Hands-on Experience00:08:40 - The Role of Editing in Filmmaking00:12:43 - Sign Off

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, I dive deep into the world of luxury brands and their target audiences. The main point I want to emphasize is that the target group for companies like Louis Vuitton and Chanel is not just the wealthy; it's also those who aspire to look rich. This insight is crucial for understanding how luxury brands market their products. They create an image that appeals to consumers who desire the status and lifestyle associated with wealth, even if they don't have the financial means to back it up. Take, for example, the Focal Muso Cube, branded with Bentley. This product is not just about sound quality; it's about the prestige that comes with the Bentley name. The price tag increases significantly because of the brand association, and consumers are willing to pay for that perceived value. This phenomenon is not limited to audio equipment; it extends to various luxury items that serve as status symbols. As a filmmaker, I understand the importance of tailoring content to the right audience. When creating videos for luxury brands, it's essential to evoke emotions that resonate with potential buyers. The goal is to make them feel that they need the product, that it will enhance their lifestyle and image. However, targeting the wrong audience can lead to misunderstandings and negative feedback, as I've experienced firsthand. In my work, I strive to be an all-in-one solution for my clients, handling everything from video production to sound design. This approach allows me to maintain a cohesive vision throughout the project, ensuring that the final product aligns with the brand's identity and goals. I believe that having a small, trusted team is more effective than relying on multiple departments that may not share the same vision. Ultimately, the key takeaway is that luxury brands are not just selling products; they are selling an experience, a lifestyle, and a sense of belonging to an exclusive club. Understanding this dynamic is essential for anyone looking to navigate the world of luxury marketing successfully. So, if you're interested in learning more about how to effectively market luxury products and create compelling content, stay tuned for more insights from my experiences in the industry.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. I was always able to sell well during my finance job, and I believe this is something I bring along to my current work. Most of my clients come from word of mouth, with about 90 to 95% finding me through recommendations. This organic growth is a testament to the quality of my work and the relationships I build. When clients reach out, they often already have a positive impression of my capabilities, which makes it easier for me to present my ideas and solutions. I typically come up with three different storylines for each project, allowing clients to choose the one that resonates most with them. This approach not only showcases my creativity but also ensures that I meet their needs effectively.In today's oversaturated market, many people believe that formal education is the only path to success in fields like filmmaking. However, I want to emphasize that you don't need to attend film school to learn how to create compelling content. I learned a lot through trial and error, utilizing free resources like YouTube tutorials. While the platform can be overwhelming due to the sheer volume of content, it offers invaluable insights for those willing to sift through the noise.As I delve into the world of commercial filmmaking, I focus on adding a cinematic touch to brands. My clients often come to me with great products that they struggle to market effectively. They need help reaching their target audience, especially when potential customers are unaware of the product's existence. My goal is to craft engaging stories that highlight how these products can improve lives, rather than simply showcasing them from multiple angles.For instance, I recently worked with a high-end audio brand introducing a new all-in-one speaker system. The challenge was to communicate the simplicity and convenience of this product to loyal customers accustomed to using multiple devices. By illustrating various scenarios where the speaker enhances everyday life, I was able to convey its value effectively. This storytelling approach is crucial in today's fast-paced world, where consumers seek solutions that fit seamlessly into their lives.In conclusion, whether you're a budding filmmaker or a seasoned professional, remember that creativity and storytelling are key to attracting clients and making an impact in your industry. Embrace the resources available to you, and don't hesitate to think outside the box when it comes to marketing your work. Please like, share, and subscribe.

Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897-2000) was an Austrian architect and the first woman to pursue architecture professionally in Austria. She is most famous for designing the “Frankfurt Kitchen” in 1926, a revolutionary design that influenced modern kitchen layouts by emphasizing efficiency and ergonomics. Beyond architecture, Schutte-Lihotzky was politically active, joining the anti-Nazi resistance during WWII, for which she was imprisoned. Her career spanned nearly a century, and she remains celebrated for her contributions to functional design and social reform.

"Es wird oft diskutiert, dass ETFs interessanter sind als Aktienfonds. Aber was ist, wenn der Anleger 200.000 Euro mit einer Rendite von sechs Prozent anlegt? Dann hat er in 15 Jahren etwa 500.000 Euro. Die Erben erben dann die Abgeltungssteuer von ca. 90.000 Euro. Von hinten kommt dann also der Hammer und die Rendite ist komplett zerlegt”, so Peter Schu.

Have you ever wondered how a tale of gorillas can touch upon the deepest themes of our human experience? Newbery Award-winning author Katherine Applegate joins us to unwrap the layers of  The One and Only Family, her latest book that sees the beloved Ivan navigating the unpredictable waters of fatherhood. As Ivan's story unfolds with the birth of twins, we delve into the heart of freedom, the wild, and the impact of climate change, all while savoring the humor of gorilla toddlers and witnessing a father's growth. Katherine's enchanting blend of inspiration from the real Ivan's life and creative "what-ifs" showcases the profound freedom found in storytelling. The conversation then takes a turn towards the serious issue of book challenges, recoiling from the sting of censorship to the embrace of community and dialogue. Listen as Katherine shares the recent bittersweet journey of  Wishtree, a book about welcoming  that faced adversity through a book challenge in Virginia, yet found a silver lining through the solidarity of readers and advocates.

Author John Schu stops by the podcast to discuss his latest book 'Louder Than Hunger' and he and Joe get into a deep conversation about how to navigate some of life's most difficult times growing up. Also, because John is a librarian there are plenty of discussions around libraries, enjoy!

About 'Louder Than Hunger' Revered teacher, librarian, and story ambassador John Schu explores anorexia—and self-expression as an act of survival—in a wrenching and transformative novel-in-verse. But another voice inside me says, We need help. We're going to die. Jake volunteers at a nursing home because he likes helping people. He likes skating and singing, playing Bingo and Name That Tune, and reading mysteries and comics aloud to his teachers. He also likes avoiding people his own age . . . and the cruelty of mirrors . . . and food. Jake has read about kids like him in books—the weird one, the outsider—and would do anything not to be that kid, including shrink himself down to nothing. But the less he eats, the bigger he feels. How long can Jake punish himself before he truly disappears? A fictionalized account of the author's experiences and emotions living in residential treatment facilities as a young teen with an eating disorder, Louder than Hunger is a triumph of raw honesty. With a deeply personal afterword for context, this much-anticipated verse novel is a powerful model for muffling the destructive voices inside, managing and articulating pain, and embracing self-acceptance, support, and love.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

"Books can be the perfect prescriptions to let us know that we're going to be okay.”  - John SchuJohn Schu's entire life has been shaped by books. As a kid, he fell in love with Shel Silverstein; Emily Dickinson comforted him as he was battling an eating disorder, and “The One and Only Ivan,” well, that book changed his life. In fact, it nearly put him into debt (he tells that story in the episode!)The powerful impact books have had on his life inspired him to dedicate his life to sharing this power with everyone he can. His career as an educator led him to the library, the library led him across America, and now he has started a new career as a writer of stories himself.John made his debut with "This is a School," followed by "This is a Story" and "The Gift of Story." However, in his latest work, "Louder Than Hunger," he bravely delves into a new realm of vulnerability. This semi-autobiographical tale draws from the most challenging period in his life, navigating the depths of his battle with anorexia.In this episode, Mr. Schu, as in Mr.SchuReads,  tells us about the transformative reads that shaped his life and explains how some of those stories helped him and some actually harmed him. We'll hear how he became an author, and about the emotional toll it took to write “Louder Than Hunger.”***Connect with Jordan and The Reading Culture @thereadingculturepod and subscribe to our newsletter at thereadingculturepod.com/newsletter. ***In John's reading challenge, Story Within a Story, he wants us to read the actual books found in the pages of his book, “This is a Story.”You can find his list and all past reading challenges at thereadingculturepod.com.Today's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Amanda Maslanka, a 26-year veteran in education and an elementary school librarian in South Houston.
