Author, Poet, Screenwriter, and speaker Sarah Archer is joining Fika with Vicky this week for one of our Classic Conversations. This week we're focussing on the classic Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus which was written by Mary Shelley in 1818. There will be scandal, heart wrenching realities, lost love, and unwise loves. (Yes, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, I'm pointing at you.) And all that's before we even get to the novel. Please join us as we look into this work, by a 19 year old, that still has us enthralled over 200 years later. About Sarah Archer - Sarah Archer's debut novel, The Plus One, was published by Putnam in the US and received a starred review from Booklist. It has also been published in the UK, Germany, and Japan, and is currently in development for the screen. As a screenwriter, she has developed material for MTV Entertainment, Snapchat, and Comedy Central. She is a Black List Screenwriting Lab fellow who has placed in competitions including the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship, the Tracking Board's Launch Pad, and the Austin Film Festival. Her short stories and poetry have been published in numerous literary magazines, nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and reached the finals of the Doris Betts Fiction Prize. She has spoken and taught on writing to groups in several states and countries, and interviewed authors around the world as a co-host of the award-winning Charlotte Readers Podcast. You can find her online at saraharcherwrites.com. About Fika with Vicky - Eternally curious about life, Vicky learned early that answers could be found in stories. Whether those stories were tales of ghosts told by her grandmother or read on Romper Room with milk and cookies, she found herself transported to other worlds. Reading to her own children, she developed an appreciation for picture books, and the illustrations that accompanied them. It was then that she realized great truths could be found with the simplest of words, and that children's books are not only for children. Through their reading she saw how vast the Juvenile and Young Adult genres had become, and the way in which they brought understanding to difficult topics. Having written her own stories, in Stick to the Story the Book, Vicky began to be interviewed. And that's when everything clicked. The idea that she could speak to the people behind the stories she loved, and learn more about them, was too tempting to ignore. Fika with Vicky was born in 2019, and with it a desire to share her passion for used book stores on rainy afternoons, folklore and fairytales, and those moments when an author solidifies all you've been thinking in one sentence. https://www.facebook.com/FikawithVicky

Visiting from Concord, North Carolina, our guest this week is author Sarah Archer.   There's something earthy, twisty, and impactive about Sarah's writing.

Ep Sponsored by The Tracking Board https://www.tracking-board.com/ Tickets for the latest MAKE YOUR FILM event on July 9th here: bit.ly/2Zjma3s On the podcast this week we chat with Tom Paton about how he went from a Club Rep in Cyprus to becoming a Filmmaker and how he started with no real knowledge of cameras or production. How he self taught himself film-making and learnt to edit and understand VFX and graphics because he has no choice. How he didn't want to make a short but a feature first and how he raised finance using his background in selling to secure investment . for his first feature - Pandorica, shot at night in outdoor locations - high sensitivity camera used, in combination with DIY space lights to shoot a post-apocalyptic forest setting. How he pushed on after his first feature onto his second feature - Redwood, which was a bigger budget, vampire film set in eastern Europe and the lessons he learnt from first feature he carried over to second feature. His third film Black Site, out later this year, is a back to his roots, lower budget, exploitation John Carpenter-esque horror thriller. We discuss what actors look for in a director - and vice versa and producing your own work - and find good collaborators. We discuss his fourth film - Stairs and his 5th feature G-Lock which are both now in post And we delve into his screenwriting process - from script to shoot PLUS loads of advice for filmmakers new and old Black Site TRAILER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3paRCrafmU Tom Paton WEBSITE https://www.tompatonfilm.com/ Follow Tom on TWITTER here https://twitter.com/TomPatonFilm LINKS MAKE YOUR FILM returns with hosts Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir for a fourth installment after three incredible past events.

Boyle is said to have a female villain at the centre of his Bond film and he is actively casting the role now.” * Additionally, CashleyPersia alleges that Angelina Jolie is set to play the villain, while Lily James and Dua Lipa, among others, are in the running for Daniel Craig's co-lead. “I've heard that Boyle has committed to a script and casting is underway.” They continued: “Supposedly, the big roles in the script are the female villain and Bond's understudy (another female role). “I hear Sophie Rundle, Lily James, Ella Purnell and Antonia Thomas have auditioned/met with Boyle (though this list is not exhaustive). The role is not a love interest however, [it's] the co-lead of the film. I've also heard that Boyle isn't adverse to discovering a new name and possibly someone who isn't an actress. Though it sounds like a moronic suggestion, I've heard the singer Dua Lipa is high on the list.” The leaker added: “Finally, the main villain has been written with Angelina Jolie in mind. I've heard this name for a very long while. I never quite trusted it but Boyle has wanted her since day one and it looks as though she's keen. They are now actively courting her and the script is being adjusted accordingly.”* The rumours of Bond's death may be greatly exaggerated: * Another rumour making the rounds in Hollywood right is that of Bond's apparent death in Bond 25. An apparent source has said the following: “It is written as Craig's final Bond film and I hear Logan being used as a comparison often still.”* MCU-style shared universe for Bond? * Is James Bond about to evolve further into the modern world of shared movie universes ala Marvel and Star Wars? It certainly looks that way and there's evidence that Craig's final 007 movie will be the catalyst that sets up the Bond expanded universe. The first whiff of this arrived in June 2017 when The Tracking Board's Jeff Sneider claimed he'd heard Bond producers were exploring the idea. Sneider, a writer for the Hollywood Insider, tweeted: “I've heard the Broccolis have caught Universe Fever and would love to explore other corners of the Bond franchise... simultaneously.”* Bond's got new rules, Danny Boyle counts 'em * Bookmakers have reduced the odds of Dua being named as the Bond theme singer, now making her the favourite, with Ed Sheeran and Jessie J also being strongly touted as potential artists to get involved.* Michael Shannon Bond villain? * Michael Shannon was recently a guest on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Fallon brought up the potential for Shannon to take on the role of the villain in the upcoming Bond film. Shannon replied with the following: “I think this might have something to do with the fact that out of all the people I've been said I resemble – and there's a rather long list – but the only one that's probably at the top is a Mr Richard Kiel, who played the fellow Jaws in old timey James Bond movies. Yeah that's who people say I look like most often. You'd know who'd make a good Bond villain? My cat.”* Deadpool 2's Morena Baccarin weighs in on becoming Bond * While doing an interview with CinePop for the upcoming Deadpool 2, Morena Baccain, who plays Vanessa in the film, was asked who she thought should play Bond next: “I think... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-words-are-not-enough/support
