Director John-Michael Powell joins No Film School to talk about his gritty Southern crime thriller Violent Ends, which hits theaters October 31. Powell shares the winding journey that led to the film's production—from being dropped from a college art program, to cutting indie films that made it to festivals like Sundance and SXSW, to editing the Emmy-winning Netflix series American Manhunt. Remarkably, he crafted a feature starring Billy Magnussen and Alexandra Shipp—without agents, managers, or festival support. This episode offers a raw, inspiring, and tactical look at building a career from the ground up, how to forge meaningful creative collaborations, and why the cavalry might never come. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest John-Michael Powell discuss… How Powell transitioned from music and graphic design to filmmaking Why getting cut from a college program helped shape his resilience The long road from writing Violent Ends in 2013 to securing funding a decade later The strategy behind securing name actors without traditional representation How he used relationships and resourcefulness to get a bidding war What filmmakers should know about real-money offers and escrow Why adaptability and microbudget thinking still matters—on any scale How not having representation can actually work in your favor Building a production company (Midnight Road) and what's coming next Memorable Quotes: "I got cut. I got the axe." "The most powerful tool you have as a filmmaker is your feet." "I took out 'editor' and put in just 'director and writer.'" "Violent Ends did not get accepted to any festivals… and we sold it to IFC."

How do you define your voice as a director? John-Michael Powell https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3119508/ talks about his new film "Violent Ends" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6902560 and the career journey that brought it to theaters.When the entire faculty of his art college told him to give up on becoming an artist, John-Michael moved to Los Angeles. He landed his first job at Bunim-Murray Productions, spending nights watching VHS tapes of "The Real World" and transcribing every line of dialogue onto scraps of paper. By day, he lived in a garage in the Valley off the 405 and close to the edge of moving back home.The better he became at editing TV segments with paper scraps thumb-tacked to a corkboard, the faster he spiraled towards mastering useless skills and boring stories about the way things were. But John-Michael had a knack for finding building blocks in any situation. Even alone, the work fueled him. But he still didn't yet know why that mattered to him.Soon things started taking shape: a Sundance award, editing a documentary on the Boston Marathon bombers, learning comedic timing from legend Jerry Zucker, and eventually an Emmy. Suddenly, he began seeing how the trajectory he was on, was nothing he imagined growing up in Arkansas.Listen as John-Michael shares about his career. Why Arkansas is a big part. And how it's all about constant discovery. You're really going to enjoy seeing and feeling why he's in love with building his voice as a director and uncovering the secrets that await.

Creators and writers of hit film Top End Wedding, Miranda Tapsell and Joshua Tyler, join us this episode to talk about their new Amazon Australia Original Series Top End Bub. Following the global success of their debut feature film of Sundance-favourite Top End Wedding, creators and writers Miranda Tapsell and Joshua Tyler found audiences clamouring for more tales from the top end – and they were happy to oblige. As Tyler says, “If you've got an audience there, you've got a fan base, keep feeding them!”  Tapsell and Tyler share how they leveraged the IP from the big screen to television, the appeal of the comedy half-hour, the joy of collaborating together, and how creators can embrace family, community and love to reflect the breadth and diversity of First Nations experiences on screen. 

They develop hundreds of thousands of leaders. And they were all in one room at Sundance, Utah. In this episode Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill takes you inside the executive summit for HR and L&D leaders.Some highlights:When managers face a wall of competencies, bloated slide decks, and libraries of courses, they default to noise over clarity. The fix isn't more content. It's fewer, simpler systems that tie every action to real outcomes.We start with a bold reset: lead with results, not soft skills. Soft skills matter, but only as tools to achieve measurable business outcomes like customer satisfaction, retention, and growth. From there, we unpack four core areas that consistently move the needle across industries and org sizes. First, deliver results through clear, memorable team key results everyone can recite. Second, lead through disruption with a practical Change OS: status quo, mourn, adapt, innovate. Third, accelerate decisions with a shared Decide OS so teams move fast, stay aligned, and avoid constant escalation. Fourth, rethink accountability as power—help people shift from helpless to proactive with habits that focus on what they can control.Along the way, we address why private equity's content flood often backfires, how environment shapes learning, and why networking across functions expands your playbook. Expect crisp frameworks, plain language, and examples you can deploy today—whether you run a unit of 50 or a division of 50,000. If you're ready to cut the clutter and build a culture of clarity, alignment, and movement, this conversation is your blueprint.Want to go deeper or join the next executive summit?

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, GG Hawkins speaks with writer-director Mary Bronstein about her searing psychological comedy-drama If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You. The film, starring Rose Byrne, Conan O'Brien, Christian Slater, and A$AP Rocky, explores the emotional breakdown of a woman navigating a mysterious illness in her child, an absentee husband, and a dangerously dependent relationship with her therapist. Premiering at Sundance and earning Rose Byrne a Silver Bear at Berlinale, the film has received critical acclaim for its raw emotional honesty and darkly comedic tone. Mary shares her deeply collaborative process with actors—particularly Byrne—and how performance, not just plot or technique, is the true core of her work. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Mary Bronstein discuss... Mary's non-traditional journey into directing via acting and method training Why understanding acting is essential for directors The intense six-week collaborative prep process Mary and Rose Byrne underwent to develop the character of Linda How Mary tailors her directing style to unlock emotionally raw, performance-driven cinema The importance of maintaining artistic integrity over commercial conformity Why most screenwriting classes and formatting “rules” are, in Mary's words, “bullshit” The difference between directing for performance versus directing for aesthetics Mary's perspective on the resurgence of a new indie golden age Memorable Quotes: "If your performances are shit, your movie is shit to me." (12:49) "By the time we get to set, there is nothing you could do that would be wrong." (30:34) "My struggle is a creative one, not a commercial one." (42:08) "You don't wait for permission."

After his victory in last year's Fantasy Film League, Drew has selected AMERICAN MOVIE for us to watch. This is a 1999 Sundance winning documentary about a filmmaker in the Milwaukee area named Mark Borchardt, working on his project “Coven,” with the help of his friends and family.

My guest, writer, director, and actor Guillaume Campanacci made a film, THE SILENT SINNER (2025), for $2000 and then released it at his favorite film festival, the Oldenburg Film Festival. That topic alone would make for a great podcast. But then add in his rich sense of humor and ability to critique everything -- including himself -- and you've got an all-time episode.It'll help if you read this Hollywood Reporter article before listening. In this episode, Guillaume and I talk about:What does he mean when he says he wants to “fuck with the audience”;How he got started in filmmaking;If most actors want to direct;How he honored French New Wave in his debut feature, WHENEVER I'M ALONE WITH YOU (2023);Why he thinks Oldenburg is the best film festival in the world and what can other film festivals take away from it;The state of independent filmmaking in France;What's next for him;What to expect when you watch THE SILENT SINNER;He starred in the film with his real-life partner. What is his advice on doing that?;Distributing such a unique film — he loves Filmhub;His advice for filmmakers just starting out. Guillaume's Indie Film Highlights: SUMMER HIT MACHINE (2025) dir. by Jérôme Vandewattyne; HARAKIRI, I MISS YOU (2025) dir. by Alejandro Castro AriasMemorable Quotes:“It was very selfish to make this one because I made it for nothing. So I could do whatever I want.”“I started as a French man.”“I think Sundance used to be like that back in the day, and now it's this big machine like an independent film is a $25 million film with Ben Affleck. No, it's not independent film.”“If you're a festival and the only thing you do is take films from other festivals, are you really a festival?”“I don't think there is really independent filmmaking in France.”“We spoke about French New Wave before and it's gone because these films would not get made today.”“Right now, I'm going to be writing the miniseries, and I love it. It's just me with my notepad and the universe of possibilities that's around me.”Links:Follow Guillaume On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

The 1990s were the center of a new and exciting film movement, one where the major studios didn't have sole discretion as to which movies made it to the public; they all had pretend boutique sub-companies buying independent films from the festival circuit for that. This week, we look at two of those that rode the Sundance gauntlet to a tiny art house theater near you: 1998's Smoke Signals and 1995's Living in Oblivion!

On dit que la musique adoucit les mœurs. Mais elle peut, aussi, être politique, utilisée comme un outil de soft power ou une tribune de protestation. Soundtrack to a coup d'Etat, formidable documentaire, uniquement réalisé à partir d'archives pour certaines inédites ou exhumées de l'oubli, raconte les différentes variations ayant conduit à l'assassinat de Patrice Lumumba, le premier Premier ministre de la République démocratique du Congo de juin à septembre 1960. Jazz, politique et décolonisation s'entremêlent dans ce grand huit historique qui réécrit un incroyable épisode de la guerre froide. En 1961, la chanteuse Abbey Lincoln et le batteur Max Roach, militants des droits civiques et figures du jazz, interrompent une session du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU pour protester contre l'assassinat de Patrice Lumumba, Premier ministre du Congo nouvellement indépendant. Dans ce pays en proie à la guerre civile, les sous-sols, riches en uranium, attisent les ingérences occidentales. L'ONU devient alors l'arène d'un bras de fer géopolitique majeur et Louis Armstrong, nommé «Ambassadeur du Jazz», est envoyé en mission au Congo par les États-Unis, pour détourner l'attention du coup d'État soutenu par la CIA. Nous recevons Johan Grimonprez, le réalisateur de Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat primé au festival de Sundance en 2024. Musiques : Vive Patrice Lumumba d'African Jazz ; Black and blue de Louis Amstrong ; Blacky Blood de Malaka sur la Playlist Rfi.

Back in Utah, the Queen of Sundance strikes back at the naysayers in the only way she can: planning a premiere party for an HBO Max original film. Angie K visits her 89-year-old father, who recounts his harrowing journey from Greece to Ellis Island during WW2, inspiring her to expedite her path to Greek citizenship. Bronwyn introduces us to her own ailing mother, the cruelest lady in all of Salt Lake, as Heather begins to renovate her at-home office/lady cave. Then, Lisa assembles the group at the austere Blue Sky Lodge, where she doms them in the board room with a lesson on lawsuit dismissals, misinformation, triangulation, and the time-honored tradition of shitting on the Wild Rose.Chapters:00:00:00 It's Locktober.00:02:16 Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's shocking split00:19:42 Tiffany Pollard is non-binary00:21:53 RHOSLC Recap!Listen to this episode ad-free AND get access to weekly bonus episodes + video bonus episodes by joining the SUP Patreon.

My guest today, Peter Callahan, made such a fun film called OUT AND ABOUT (2022) that explores the life of a middle age suburban white guy walking around his neighborhood. That's the film. I watched half of it before going out on my birthday a few weeks ago, and came home, buzzed, ready to watch more of a guy walking around filmmaking. And through meeting his neighbors and other characters, we get a deeper understanding of his life. And today, we do that with the director Peter Callahan. His personal story is crazy — dropping out of high school to winning awards at the SOHO International Film Festival — and I'm so glad he's here to share his perspective on indie filmmaking. In this episode, Peter and I discuss:How OUT AND ABOUT is such a great concept — it's just a guy walking around while you hear his inner monologue!;His crazy entry into filmmaking — from dropping out of high school to getting a Master's degree at Columbia University;The stories behind the films he made before OUT AND ABOUT, including trips to Sundance;Why he decided to act in his film;Whether the 10,000 hours concept popularized by Malcom Gladwell (it takes 10,000 hours to be proficient at a certain task) is true for screenwriting;The logistics of a film like OUT AND ABOUT (no, you can't actually make that walk) and whether there was reluctance for such a unique topic;If a middle age white guy film hurt him at festivals and amongst viewers;What's next for Peter.Peter's Indie Film Highlights: AMITY (2012) dir.

Thank you for listening to the Following Films Podcast. Today I'm joined by Everett Blunck, star of the new film GRIFFIN IN SUMMERIn the same vein as the Sundance hit Theater Camp, GRIFFIN IN SUMMER revolves around Griffin Nafly, played by breakout star Everett Blunck, who is the most ambitious playwright of his generation. He's also fourteen years old, still living with his exhausted mother in the bland suburb of Borwood, and desperately attempting to self-produce his new divorce drama Regrets of Autumn, starring his unenthusiastic friends. But when Griffin forms a surprise summer friendship with handsome twenty-five-year-old failed performance artist turned handyman Brad, played by Owen Teague, his life (and play) will never be the same. The festival darling is written & directed by Nicholas Colia, making his impressive feature film debut, and stars young break-out Everett Blunck as well as Owen Teague (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), Melanie Lynskey (“Yellowjackets”), Abby Ryder Fortson (Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.) and Kathryn Newton (Lisa Frankenstein)Today's episode of the Following Films Podcast is brought to you by Google Workspace.

In the old Hollywood tradition Robert Redford may well be “the last movie star.” His film career spanned six decades, and included numerous iconic roles. This week the full slate of Regular Joes list their favorite Redford films, ranging from the epic to the obscure. And whether you favor the Sundance kid, Jeremiah Johnson, Jay Gatsby, Bob Woodward, or Roy Hobbs, Redford brought an endearing charisma and charm to every role in every era. His subsequent work as an Oscar winning filmmaker, activist, and proponent for independent films leave a legacy few can ever match. We will not see his kind again. There's also the usual Random Topics and around of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening!

Award-winning and celebrated filmmaker Jeff Orlowski-Yang is a masterful storyteller who documents the profound stories of our time. Founder and Creative Director of Exposure Labs, Jeff came to the Hoffman Process after hearing about it through many friends. One of Jeff's friends knew a woman who was offering to pay for anyone ready to step into parenthood to attend the Process. Jeff was curious about and deeply moved by the nature of her offer. He felt there must be something important about the Process he'd heard so much about. A key theme in this conversation is the power and nature of the stories we tell. The ones we carry on our backs, feeling like we cannot let them go, even knowing they are weighing us down. The ones we tell in hopes of changing hearts and minds. And the ones we create anew in our hopes for a different future. As a documentarian, Jeff knows both how to tell a great story and to listen to others telling their story. At his Process, he was able to listen deeply to the stories being shared around the classroom by his classmates. This helped him realize the nature of the story he has carried within. In recounting his Process experience, Jeff weaves in the wisdom he's gained from his work. He highlights the difference between communication and connection, a distinction that became clear to him while directing The Social Dilemma. And he speaks to the nature of change and how powerful stories can be great catalysts of change, both personally and collectively. We hope you enjoy this illuminating conversation with Jeff and Drew. More about Jeff Orlowski-Yang: Photo by Larissa Rhodes Jeff Orlowski-Yang is the Founder and Creative Director of Exposure Labs, a film and impact production studio that uses stories to change the world. Most recently, he directed Chasing Time (2024), a 40-minute short documentary currently screening at festivals around the world. Previously, he directed one of the most-watched documentaries on Netflix, The Social Dilemma (2020), which premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, and was nominated for seven primetime Emmy awards, winning two. He was the director, producer, and cinematographer of the award-winning feature documentaries Chasing Coral (2017) and Chasing Ice (2012), both of which screened at Congress and the United Nations and have garnered awards and accolades worldwide. Jeff has several directorial projects currently in development and continues to support other filmmakers from concept to impact campaign as an executive producer and mentor. Orlowski-Yang won the 2017 Champion of the Earth Award, the UN's highest environmental honor, and serves on the boards of Green 2.0 and Netflix's Sustainability Advisory Group. He has traveled on tour representing the Sundance Institute, President Obama's Committee for the Arts and Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts, among many other speaking and press engagements.

Award season is here, and the Emmys just dropped! Matt and Bob are joined once again by our awards correspondent, Spenser Davis, to break down the highs, lows, and everything in between from this year's telecast. From Nate Bargatze's opening bit to standout speeches, surprise wins, and the ongoing comedy/drama category debate, we ask the big question: did the Emmys actually get it right this year? Then we shift gears to honor the life and legacy of Robert Redford. We revisit his iconic collaborations with Paul Newman, his powerhouse run through The Sting, Three Days of the Condor, and All the President's Men, his Oscar-winning directorial debut Ordinary People, and his later-career gems like All Is Lost and The Old Man & the Gun. Beyond the screen, we explore Redford's humanitarian spirit, the birth of Sundance, and how he lifted others up throughout his career.

On May 8, 1970, “the Hard Hat Riot” erupted in lower Manhattan. At midday, construction workers, including those building the World Trade Center, violently clashed with students demonstrating against the Vietnam War.   Workmen saw the protesting students as privileged “draft dodgers” disparaging the country and those who fought for it. On the other side, many student activists saw the workers as pawns, unwilling to see the changes that America needed.    On this episode, host Michael Azevedo speaks with Marc Levin, the director of "Hard Hat Riot," a new documentary that will broadcast on PBS' American Experience on September 30 and be available online thereafter.    "Hard Hat Riot" tells the story of a struggling metropolis (NYC), a flailing president (Nixon), a divided people, and a bloody juncture when the nation violently diverged ― culminating in a new political and cultural landscape that radically redefined American politics and foreshadowed the future.   Marc Levin is an award-winning, independent filmmaker dedicated to telling powerful, real stories in a unique, authentic style.   He has won four Emmys, four duPont-Columbia Awards, the Peabody Award, the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Highlights include: Slam, his breakout festival hit; Brick City, the groundbreaking docu-series about Newark, New Jersey's charismatic Mayor Cory Booker; Gang War: Bangin' in Little Rock; Emmy-winning Thug Life in DC for HBO; Chicagoland, a docu-series for CNN and Robert Redford's Sundance Productions, nominated for a 2014 IDA Award for Best Limited Series.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

Click here to try it out!We don't usually double up on an actor, but when Robert Redford died at 89, it felt only right to go again. A true Hollywood legend — Butch Cassidy, The Sting, All the President's Men — Redford left us not just with an iconic filmography but also Sundance, a festival that gave countless indie movies a life. This week, we pay tribute by reviewing Indecent Proposal (1993).It's the one where a young, loved-up couple (Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore) are offered a cool million dollars by Redford's billionaire for one night with the wife. A sleazy premise? Absolutely. But it was a 90s cultural flashpoint that had everyone asking: what would you do?What we coverRedford as a twinkly-eyed predator — suave, charming, but pure sociopath energy.Woody Harrelson's “character growth” (spoiler: remembering to take his muddy shoes off the table).Demi Moore stuck as the literal bargaining chip between two men.Erotic sax solos, visible erections, and more money-on-the-bed shots than you can shake a hippo at.Why this could've been a sharp morality tale, but instead feels like a glossy objectification exercise.The cultural lens shift: what audiences excused in 1993 versus what plays as flat-out toxic today.As always, expect detours into visible erections, Michael Bay's slow-mo dice shots, hippos at auctions, Oliver Platt being a slimy lawyer, and whether we'd personally take the money (spoiler: the negotiations got weird).“Hard recommend? Hard pass? Or just Woody being… hard?”We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

We've gotten more than a few chances to talk with special guests about a particular film they're involved in, but this episode takes things to a wonderful new level.At the center of our discussion is the beautiful new documentary, It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews after its Sundance premiere. Through never-before-seen footage of Jeff, as well as interviews with people close to him, the film becomes a graceful retrospective on the gifted musician we lost far too soon.Nobody understands that feeling better than Jeff Buckley's mother, Mary Guibert, and we were honored to speak with her for this episode. She shares the origin story of this deeply personal project that was decades in the making, and how she decided to put the story of her son in the hands of director Amy Berg.We also hear about her earliest memories of Jeff's love for music, from singing Spanish nursery rhymes as a toddler to getting a Les Paul guitar that he practically slept with, and the nonprofit organization Road Recovery, which was inspired by Jeff's life to help at-risk youth turn tragedy into harmony through the power of music.Stick around to the end to hear Guibert's answer to Dori's trademark question, as she reveals what "Scotty" --- as his mom still calls him --- would say his childhood smelled like.*****Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Co.

Clarke Scott, an Australian writer, director, and commercial photographer, shared his unconventional path into filmmaking after leaving behind academia and corporate work. A chance encounter in the Himalayas reignited his creative spark, leading him to dive into the DSLR revolution and embrace filmmaking as both an artistic outlet and a practical career. His debut feature, 1000 Moments Later, was a fully independent production he wrote, directed, shot, and edited himself — a bold decision driven by his refusal to wait for permission or compromise his creative voice.Clarke opened up about the challenges of independent filmmaking, from battling weather and limited budgets to convincing actors to join his project on back-end deals. He stressed the importance of patience, resourcefulness, and building a body of work rather than chasing quick wins like Sundance. For Clarke, the future of filmmaking lies in using available tools, leveraging local resources, and proving one's ability to finish projects with vision and determination. His story is a testament to the power of grit and creativity in bringing films to life outside the traditional studio system.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Gary addresses the current lack of call to order coming from American pulpits. Too often, pastors think preaching book by book through the Bible is the "right" way to preach and not to be distracted by the events of the day. However, his often leaves congregants unable to deal with what is happening now and unaware of how the Bible relates to current events.

GG Hawkins sits down with Carmen Emmi (director, writer) and Erik Vogt-Nilsen (editor) of Plainclothes, a striking debut feature that blends the aching vulnerability of first love with the sharp tension of queer identity under surveillance. Set in 1997 and laced with nostalgic Hi8 footage, the film isn't just a period piece — it's a raw, intimate time capsule of self-discovery, repression, and resilience. This episode dives deep into the emotional and creative process behind the film, from Sundance dreams to strawberry farm editing sessions and how true collaboration can unlock something extraordinary. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss… The genesis and central themes of Plainclothes, including first love/obsession, policing emotions, identity, nostalgia, and honesty in queer storytelling Why the 1990s setting — especially 1997 — was chosen, both for personal reasons and as a tool for emotional resonance How Carmen and Erik came together creatively, even though Erik joined after principal photography, and how they structured their collaboration (the “Editing Intentions” document, visits, tone setting, etc.) The editorial process: charting out passes, refining scenes, balancing structure vs. emotional truth, and maintaining rawness from the editor's cut through to the final version Test screenings: what kinds of feedback matter, figuring out clarity vs. ambiguity in the narrative, audience confusion around timelines, and how those screenings shaped the final cut On‑set dynamics: director's approaches, setting tone (no yelling unless dire), using music on set, capturing wordless moments, incubating trust and structure among cast and crew Filmmaking tools & creative choices: use of Hi8 footage to express internal states like anxiety; letting instinct and experimentation guide sequences; integrating personal memory and sensory detail into the cinematic style Advice for emerging filmmakers: avoid perfectionism, work with collaborators or friends you trust, give ideas a chance in editing, accept that not everything needs to be precious, learn from every project Memorable Quotes: “It was really, every creative decision I made was like, it was all stemmed from like, what does it feel like to police your feelings?” “One rule. And that was no yelling on set unless like someone's life was in danger…” “We had a lot of love for the story … there was so much levity and play in the edit room … even though we were dealing with very serious kind of themes…” “Give every idea a try … you don't have to spend too much time on it, if it's not working. But … that yes and‑kind of mentality … unlocks stuff you would never think of.” Guests: Carmen Emmi Erik Vogt-Nilsen Resources: Plainclothes Official Trailer I Really Love My Husband Screenings 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  

We've been long inspired and touched by Robert Redford's career in film and politics. He was a screen idol who challenged America's status quo. From acting in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Three Days of the Condor and All The President's Men to directing Ordinary People and the Milagro Beanfield War, he took on roles, and later directing projects, that questioned authority and brought a cultural weight to America's cinematic catalog. His political work included fighting for and supporting environmental and Indigenous rights causes. He was part of documentary projects about Leonard Peltier, John Trudell and climate activist Tim DeChristopher. In his later years, he supported the campaign against the Keystone XL Pipeline and called Trump a "monarchy in disguise." In our latest, we pay tribute to iconic actor, director, environmentalist and activist Robert Redford. Rest in Peace, Sundance!--------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody
