On today's episode, we welcome Jameson Parker, a seasoned producer with roots in theater, who's climbed the ranks in the world of film and television. As a Development Director at Bright Light Pictures, Jameson has developed a keen eye for projects that align with his passion and resonate with audiences. Starting as an actor, he transitioned to production, taking on the mentorship of industry veteran Sean Williamson, and carving a niche in the independent cinema space.Jameson shares his journey from pursuing theater in Vancouver to becoming a producer with a versatile portfolio, which includes films like Summer of 84 and the Netflix series Julie and the Phantoms. He explains the art of “breaking in” as an evolving process, emphasizing perseverance and the invaluable nature of mentorship in an industry where relationships shape opportunities. In his case, connecting with Sean was pivotal, as it granted him guidance and resources to navigate the challenging waters of production. As he aptly puts it, “There's an element of perseverance that permeates every success story—banging your head against the wall until the brick cracks.”In our conversation, Jameson reflects on the state of Hollywood's market-driven focus, where franchises and reboots often overshadow fresh, original stories. He believes true creative fulfillment lies in cultivating unique narratives rather than chasing trends.He references his experience with Summer of 84, which drew inspiration from classic thrillers and managed to resonate with audiences without the typical industry formulas. Jameson champions the importance of bringing something authentic to the screen, arguing, “If you chase what's doing well in the marketplace, you're always going to be behind the eight ball.”For Jameson, networking is less about formal events and more about building meaningful relationships. He recalls his serendipitous meeting with writer Matt Leslie at a networking event, which led to the development of Summer of 84. He stresses that genuine connections often lead to more fruitful collaborations than transactional exchanges. This philosophy has carried him through many projects, as he remains committed to developing authentic connections both on and off set.As the conversation deepens, Jameson delves into the complexities of producing for television versus film. Working with Netflix on Julie and the Phantoms, alongside renowned director Kenny Ortega, has been a “big learning experience” for him. He contrasts this with his independent projects, which allow for more creative control and hands-on involvement.The Netflix series exemplifies the evolving landscape of TV production, where platforms like Netflix provide vast opportunities but also introduce unique challenges due to their expansive, competitive nature.Jameson also speaks to the behind-the-scenes challenges producers face, especially in managing large teams on set. From navigating egos to ensuring open communication, he explains how these aspects shape the production experience. He acknowledges that problem-solving in production can feel overwhelming but emphasizes the importance of keeping a calm perspective. “If it can be solved with money, it's not really a problem,” he says, underscoring his pragmatic approach to navigating production obstacles.In a business defined by collaboration and trust, Jameson has thrived by working with familiar faces, valuing shared experiences over constant change. His career is a testament to the power of resilience, passion, and a deep-seated love for storytelling. As he anticipates his next independent film project, he remains committed to blending his studio experiences with his passion for independent cinema.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

After a sea turtle hatchling scurries down the beach and plunges into the waves, it vanishes into the ocean, remaining incognito for the next few years. This early period of a sea turtle's life history, often referred to as the 'lost years', has long intrigued scientists, leaving many questions about this mysterious stage.Where do these hatchlings go? And when do they transition from being 'lost' to 'found'?"The majority of flatback hatchlings are retained in the neritic environment, or what we call the shallow waters of the coast", explains Dr. Sean Williamson, a Field Biologist and Researcher at Monash University, Australia. "As opposed to loggerhead hatchlings on the East Coast of USA, which drift in the Gulf Stream all the way across to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean until they get around in line with France".But how do these tiny travelers navigate such long journeys?Tune in to the fifth episode of Sea Turtle Stories as Dr. Sean delves into the 'lost years' of sea turtles. He reveals insights from his research, covering everything from hatchling dispersal patterns and their extraordinary navigational skills to the innovative technologies used to uncover these mysteries.Links For Additional Reading:Life Cycle of Sea Turtles by Olive Ridley ProjectWilson, P., Pattiaratchi, C., Whiting, S., Ferreira, L.

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST Friday Music Showcase  Heavy Metal Lap Steel Guitarist of Velocihamster SEAN WILLIAMSON   Lap steel guitarist Sean Williamson is set to release a new single, “Thunderstruck,” under the moniker Velocihamster, following the vinyl LP release of his sophomore album, Balls to the Wall, along with singles “Sleepwalk” and “Mist” in June.   Reinterpreting the iconic rock anthem “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC, Williamson continues to foster his own niche within the metal / hard rock genre showcasing the lap steel guitar. The composition also marks Velocihamster's first release with vocals, featuring singers Vincent Black (Sacred, De La Luz) & Dustin Moon (Reflections of Flesh, Atrocity Addiction).   “Playing ‘Thunderstruck' is a legendary rite of passage exercise for guitarists, especially in music stores,” Williamson laughs, “and adapting it for lap steel was yet another pleasant surprise. It's rewarding to keep finding ways to bring slide guitar to new audiences & inspire using the unexpected.  Who said steel guitar players can't be rockstars...LOL?”   Velocihamster's trademark shred-style approach to lap steel is modeled after acrobatic electric guitar leads typically heard in heavy metal and hard rock genres. The project's 2018 debut LP Wheel Of Steel garnered attention in Guitar World & Guitar Player magazines, earning it recognition as “the world's first lap steel metal band,” and new album Balls to the Wall was recently spotlighted by MetalSucks.net in February.   Velocihamster's “Thunderstruck” will be available on digital formats Friday, October 29th via Born Free, Then Caged Music. Full length vinyl LP Balls to the Wall & singles “Sleepwalk” and “Mist” are available now via Born Free, Then Caged Music at https://velocihamster.net & select vinyl retailers.  For more information on Sean Williamson's signature lap steel guitar visit http://morrelllapsteel.com/sw-custom.   Media/Interview Requests: Standing Noise Music LLC • 414.737.9316 standingnoisemusic@gmail.com • info@velocihamster.net
