This week, I have an emotional chat with director NATALIE RAE about her beautiful, award-winning NETFLIX documentary, "DAUGHTERS," which won two awards at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, was shortlisted for the 2025 Oscars, and is now up for a Peabody. Listen as Natalie tells me about the 8 long years it took her and co-director ANGELA PATTON to make "Daughters" and what it felt like to finally get into Sundance and then sell the project to Netflix after hearing "no" so many times. Find out how Natalie's music video background inspired and influenced her to mix camera formats and develop a unique look to the film. "Daughters" chronicles how a group of young girls and their incarcerated fathers prepare for and then attend a "daddy-daughter-dance." Because these fathers almost never see their daughters, this singular event is incredibly special for all involved. Check out the Daughters Trailer and watch the film now only on Netflix. Plus, I give you my take on the "White Lotus" season finale. "The Coconut Milk was off." And I share some footage from my trip to the LA "Fighting Oligarchy" rally.

In this episode, I sat down with award-winning filmmaker Summer Shelton. to talk about the heart and grit behind independent filmmaking. From growing up on a rural sheep farm in North Carolina and experioening the outdoors. Eventually leading to producing films screened at Cannes and Sundance. Summer shared her incredible journey on how she took a leap during the pandemic. Debuting her film "You & I" a groundbreaking film. Where she handled the writing, editing, directing and producing. The film made on a micro-budget with a 10-person crew, tells a raw, intimate love story. About two people in middle age rediscovering each other over one weekend. It's a film about timing, vulnerability, and the spaces we carry within.We also got into the shifting landscape of film and television. How miniseries blur the lines between movies and TV. In away there the unsung heroes behind the scenes. From production designers to casting directors and the actors hired. Summer spoke candidly about the grind of indie filmmaking. The creative trade-offs, and the resilience required to keep creating. If you're curious about how art, intention, and tight budgets collide to create movie magic, this one's for you.Be sure to check more of Summer's films and projects with website and her socials provided below:https://www.summershelton.com/@s_d_sWe have a magical link below with all our socials and handle so you can find us on your favorite pod spot

We're back. Listen, this isn't a very structured episode, but we move. We're embracing the chaos tonight. In this episode, the boys rant about what's been going on locally, nationally, and within the prisons of our own psyches. Sundance, 401ks, tarrifs, White Lotus Season 3. We've got it all. Note from me, Kyle: sorry for doing something loud with my voice at one point. Not sure what to classify it, but "yelling" didn't seem to fully capture what happened. You tell me.

In the summer of 2016, with a guaranteed Hillary Clinton presidency was on the horizon, the Obama Era enjoyed a premature victory-lap with SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU (2016). Seen nine years later, this Sundance drama about the Obamas' first date has, shall we say, aged poorly. PLUS: Did you know that Elon Musk's family has a (very racist) Canadian connection?

Two weeks ago Sundance Film Festival announced it was leaving Utah and moving to Colorado. Following nearly a year of negotiations, the potential offer of millions in tax incentives for the local film industry, and a battle against Cincinnati and Sundance's original home of Park City, Boulder ultimately won the bid. After decades in one place, what made this movie institution decide to head to Colorado? And what could it mean for our state's existing film industry?  We're revisiting a conversation from earlier this year that host Bree Davies had with Ali Vallarta, the host of City Cast Salt Lake and former Sundance staffer, to talk about the potential impacts of this big move.

Watch This Episode On YouTubeMy guest, Chelsea Christer, is being modest but you can't be just dream adjacent while turning out brilliant, touching, and culturally relevant films like OUT FOR DELIVERY (2025).By premiering the film both at Sundance and SXSW Film Festival this year, it's clear Chelsea is at the top of her game...and closer to dream actualized than ever before.In this episode, we discuss:how she got involved in filmmaking and the rise of female filmmakers, particularly directors;how she chose her path of narrative, docs, corporate work -- "in order to live in San Francisco, you have to make a bit of money to pay the bills";how she found herself "dream adjacent" -- making films and getting opportunities in documentary filmmaking that were not her passion;what did she learn from having her films at premiere film festivals (Sundance, SXSW, Slamdance, and more)?;the story behind her brilliant film, OUT FOR DELIVERY;how she made such a fully encapsulated short film and whether that was the intention;has she moved from dream adjacent to dream actualized?;what is she working on now?Chelsea's Indie Film/Filmmaker Highlights: TOUCH ME (2025) dir. by Addison Heimann; DEATH OF A UNICORN (2025) dir. by Alex Scharfman; Sebastian SilvaLinks:Follow Chelsea On InstagramChelsea Christer's WebsiteSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

[Editor's Note: We experienced some technical difficulties with the audio of this episode. Our apologies, and thank you for your understanding!]Meghann Fahy's been thriving on screen for quite some time now. She was in over 80 episodes of One Life to Live as Hannah O'Connor and starred in the hit Freeform series The Bold Type which ran for five seasons. But, there's no denying that The White Lotus was a different kind of game-changer. Not only did Mike White's HBO series continue to be a pop culture sensation in its second season, but the quality of the new episodes earned nine members of the ensemble Emmy nominations, including Fahy.Since that Emmy nomination? Fahy's downright soaring. She had a role in the 2024 genre mash-up gem Your Monster starring a Collider Ladies Night favorite, Melissa Barrera. She was in The Perfect Couple with Nicole Kidman, she was in Rebuilding with Josh O'Connor which earned high praise at Sundance, and is also in Molly Smith Metzler's highly anticipated Netflix series Sirens with Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock. All very exciting achievements, but there's something extra special about the movie Fahy has hitting theaters on April 11. Christopher Landon's Drop marks the very first time Fahy is #1 on the call sheet for a feature film.She headlines as Violent, a widowed mother reluctantly going on her first date in years. While dining in an upscale restaurant with her dating app match, Brandon Sklenar's Henry, Violet starts getting a string of unusual and alarming anonymous drops to her phone. Is it her date? Is it another diner? Or perhaps it's an employee at the restaurant. Violet doesn't know and she'll have to figure it out on her own because the assailant is watching and they insist she tell no one - or else.Drop rocks a sharp script and the much-needed skilled mind and eye to execute it in Landon, but the success of the film heavily depends on Fahy's ability to deftly navigate the production challenges that come with such a concept while also ensuring the viewer can feel the threat Violet's under, and she excels tackling both - big time. While celebrating Drop's World Premiere screening at SXSW, Fahy visited the Collider Media Studio at the Cinema Center for a Collider Ladies Night interview to go back to the beginning and recap her journey to landing at the top of the call sheet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The blood-soaked Blood Simple represents the debuts of not only auteurs Joel & Ethan Coen, but also their star (and Joel's future wife) Frances McDormand. They don't seem to agree though with the widely-shared view that their first film was an expertly-plotted noir. It's one of their best movies, in fact. When the Coen Brothers go down to Texas to shoot a nihilistic movie about death and contract killings, classics like this and No Country For Old Men result. And considering it was an independent production without any stars, it was quite a hit. The brilliant highlight sequence is John Getz covering up what he thinks is the murder of Dan Hedaya, the man he's cuckolded. So enjoy episode #2 in Revenge Month and our 657th episode overall as we, yes ARE having a good time in our yellow suit and hat while we review Blood Simple. Well, Actually: the Sundance film festival (the "Utah/US Film Festival" as it was known at first) got its start in 1978, while the Toronto International Film Festival got its start in 1976. Also, Dessau is a neighbourhood in Austin, Texas, so the "Dessau" in the sign outside the club must refer to that. Also also, the reason Ray stops the car and runs away in shock is because he hears noise coming from the "dead" body in the back seat. Acquire outstanding beans from Sparkplug Coffee.

This week I talk to Emmy and Peabody award-winning filmmaker GEETA GANDBHIR about two of her latest documentary projects: "Eyes on the Prize III," which is streaming now on MAX, and "The Perfect Neighbor," which just won best directing for a U.S. documentary at the Sundance Film Festival. Listen as Geeta describes her early inspirations, working with the great Spike Lee and the esteemed Sam Pollard and how those experiences shaped her into the filmmaker she is today. Geeta explains the importance of MAX's six-part civil rights-focused docu-series, "Eyes on the Prize III," at this moment in our nation's perilous history and why her independent doc, "The Perfect Neighbor," about Florida's controversial "stand your ground" law is exactly the type of story streamers need to make more of. Geeta also provides some terrific advice for young filmmakers that is definitely worth listening to. You can find the episode anywhere you get your podcasts, including on YouTube.

It's finally here! Ariana's deluxe album for Eternal Sunshine is out and it is even better than I could have imagined. She also released a short film that'll pull at your heart stings. Another pop diva has announced her new album. Miley Cyrus' new album Something Beautiful is set to release on May 30th with a film to accompany the album in June. And I'm going to say right now that this album has MONEY behind it. No expense was spared. Kim/ SKIMS has bought back SKKN and they are going to relaunch it under the SKIMS brand. Kim sold 20 percent of SKKN in 2020 to beauty company Coty for $200 million, valuing the company at $1 billion. Want fruit and marijuana at the same time? Well you're in luck because Edible Arrangements now sells both! MO has a new EP out called Keep Moving and I am completely obsessed. Moms everywhere are uniting against Chappell Roan after she claimed that she doesn't know anyone who has kids at her age that are actually happy. Morgan Wallen has also upset the SNL community after he abruptly walked off stage as soon as the show ended instead of mingling with the cast mates. Lady Gaga has announced what is possibly the shortest tour ever with only 5 cities in the US. Tickets go on sale this week and it will be a battle to get your hands on some. People (and me) are convinced that Kris Jenner has stepped in and is making Alabama Barker behave lol. Sydney Sweeney was seen out to dinner with Gleb Powell after calling off her engagement with her fiancé. Sundance has officially announced that it will be moving to a new home in Boulder Colorado. And lastly, Garcelle has announced that she is leaving the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Thanks for listening!

Totally by coincidence, both of our movies this week are about characters who are stuck inside. But we hope you're getting out and about and enjoying the springtime, and that you'll take us with you here at Breakfast All Day. We begin with a review of "The Woman in the Yard," which Universal didn't screen for critics before opening day. The latest Blumhouse horror movie stars the always great Danielle Deadwyler as a widow and mother of two, dealing with a mysterious and menacing ... woman in the yard. In theaters. We also catch up with "Locked," which came out last weekend. Bill Skarsgård finds himself trapped in a fancy SUV when he picks the wrong car to steal from a Vancouver parking lot. Anthony Hopkins is the voice of the car owner who torments him remotely. Also in theaters. And we finally did Movie News LIVE! for the first time in about three weeks. Things have been a little crazy around here. Among the topics we talked about were "No Other Land" director Hamdan Ballal, Sundance leaving Park City, Rachel Zegler, "Avengers: Doomsday" and more. We won't be back for another livestream until April 18 because of spring break, but we look forward to seeing you then, and we're so happy you're here now.

Support this show directly (and any others on the network, if you wish!) at MaximumFun.org/joinWe're covering a movie that started out as a noteworthy Sundance debut from director Elijah Bynum, but later became noteable for much less fun reasons.

The current state of film production in Los Angeles and whether it's really “back” Tax incentives drawing productions to places like Ireland, Canada, and Texas The emotional and practical toll of filming far from home Behind-the-scenes challenges of indie productions and festival films How DPs landed their Sundance jobs and their strategies for collaboration with directors Favorite gear, lenses, and technical decisions from Sundance cinematographers Working with non-actors, shooting in unpredictable locations, and reacting in real time Tools, workflows, and prep habits DPs rely on when heading into production Guests: Adolpho Veloso – DP of Train Dreams Mia Cioffi Henry – DP of Sorry, Baby Ethan Palmer – DP of Plainclothes Christopher Aoun – DP of All That's Left of You Memorable Quotes: "I always say prepping like that is like studying for an exam, and then it's like not an open book test.” "You either are not going to sleep because you're working long hours, or because you're anxious because you're not working."
