Bryan Fuller and Nicole Whitaker: Dust Bunny’s nightmare whimsy

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 338: Bryan Fuller and Nicole Hirsch Whitaker Bryan Fuller has one of the most recognizable visual signatures in modern television. Whether he's dealing with a forensic pathologist who bakes pies (Pushing Daisies) or a sophisticated cannibal (Hannibal), his work consistently balances the grotesque with the gorgeous. His style of hyper-stylized morbid surrealism was influenced by French maximalism in the 90's, such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, Amelie). “Between Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, and Amelie, there was this experience I had in the 90's and early aughts watching those films that gave me permission to push harder and go further in aesthetics that were on television,” Bryan explains. With his latest project, Dust Bunny, Bryan makes the leap from showrunning to feature directing, bringing his unique aesthetic to a dark fantasy-thriller. His decades of experience absorbing highly visual cinema have all led to this moment. “When I look at Dust Bunny, I'm like, that's a Barry Sonnenfeld shot. That's a John Carpenter shot. That's a Spielberg, because I've consumed all of these things and digested them and pooped out Dust Bunny.” Despite Bryan's self-deprecating description of the creative process, he was extremely meticulous about the filmmaking process. Cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, ASC presented a comprehensive pitch deck that became the roadmap for the film's visual identity. “After the meeting, presenting her whole board with all of these images... she wanted the job and did a lot of work to show how she wanted the job,” says Bryan. Nicole, who shares Bryan's reverence for the same films, dove deep into the script to pull references ranging from The Professional and The Haunting (1963) to the raw, intimate photography of Nan Goldin. “I do think that it's important to make a good impression,” she says. “The deck is an impression of yourself as an artist that you leave behind.” During the interview, Nicole shares the pitch deck she made for Dust Bunny and discusses it in detail. Watch on YouTube or link to it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m0i5QVEarDFL248Vqvm3T-8a0watskba/view?usp=sharing The most radical visual choice in Dust Bunny is its aspect ratio. It's shot in an extreme 3:1 format (three squares wide), which is almost unheard of in modern cinema. This creates a triptych feel, where the frame is so wide it feels like a mural. It forces a sense of vertical claustrophobia, crushing the top and bottom of the frame. The camera emphasizes the floorboards and the space under the bed—precisely where the monster hides. This discovery occurred while Bryan and Nicole were testing lenses. Once the framing matte came off the lens, revealing the open gate width of the sensor, Bryan realized the wider view fundamentally changed the film's psychology. A subject centered in a 3:1 frame felt isolated in a way they hadn't before, sharpening the camera's emotional point of view. To further isolate the characters, Nicole tuned the ARRI Alpha anamorphic lenses to fall off at the edges, ensuring the audience's focus remains locked on the performance. While Dust Bunny was shot over 44 days in Budapest, the film's visual language was decades in the making. For Nicole, the challenge was translating a legendary showrunner's mental gallery into a physical reality. For Bryan, it was a homecoming to the cinematic influences that first gave him permission to be “too much.” See Dust Bunny in theaters.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Brent Lindstrom , author of the book One for the Money, Two for the Soul. Having lived in Utah most of his life, you might say that he's known a lot of Christians. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He love a good adventure novel or movie, but frustrations over content have influenced him to write adult type novels without the annoying sex and profanity that litter so many books today.   He's always enjoyed a good book, and he's enjoyed writing.  At this time, he's only able to write part time.  Some day, when he's had enough fun at his day job, he might hope to make storytelling more of a career.  His ambitions are currently to write about one novel per year.  Then hopefully as more people come to enjoy them, he'll shift gears and start a production studio, bringing all his stories to the big screen. So many people get stuck doing something their whole lives that they aren't passionate about. He says "Live your dreams!"   In my book review, I stated One for the Money, Two for the Soul effectively combines fantasy and suspense. Although these are not usually my 'go-to' genres, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and believe you will, too! We quickly meet Winnie, a whimsical child full of curiosity and imagination. Unfortunately, she becomes the latest casualty in a soul-snatcher's plot. But the plot runs awry, snatching only half - the logical half - of Winnie's soul. The rest of the story follows Winnie and the recipient of the logic, Garm. The two halves couldn't be more different - and yet, both realize they are missing something needful. The evil doctor is working on how to put souls into new bodies with a memory intact - as a way to live on forever. An assassin is actively working against the doctor. Garm and Winnie find themselves in the middle, along with others they meet along the way. This novel is filled with whimsy and suspense, allowing the reader to both laugh out loud and turn the pages to find out what happens next.

This week on the Calvary Church Podcast, we open our new Christmas series, The Whimsy of Christmas. In a season filled with wonder, joy, and sacred mystery, we begin by looking back—way back—to a moment when the world was waiting in silence.For 400 years, God's people lived through what's often called the Intertestamental Period: four centuries without a prophet, without fresh Scripture, without a clear word from heaven. It was a time of longing, questions, and quiet anticipation.And then—Christ was born.In this opening message, “The End of the Beginning,” Pastor Nick explores how the birth of Jesus didn't simply start the Christmas story; it brought an end to an era of silence. The arrival of Christ broke through the stillness with hope, light, and the promise that God had been working all along—even when He seemed quiet.Join us as we rediscover the whimsy and wonder of Christmas, and remember that God often does His best work in the silence.Subscribe, share, and celebrate the season with us!

Let's be real—life is way too short and too heavy to be serious all the time! We're talking about embracing whimsy: that perfect mix of taking your job and life seriously, but definitely not taking yourself seriously. We'll chat about simple ways to lighten up, like genuinely playing with your family or finally making time for that weird little hobby you love. Whimsy isn't just a mood; it's a hack! It keeps your brain sharp, puts some distance between you and your problems, and helps you connect with people on a deeper, better level. Time to chill out, laugh more, and remember that being a little silly is a sign of a life well-lived.The Show Notes!Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!

Gameweek 6 brought with it many juicy fixtures, whether that be Man City's 5-1 demolition of Burnley (Haaland Triple Captainers rejoice), Crystal Palace's dismantling of Liverpool, or Arsenal's dogged comeback against Newcastle.But none of these events can rival the miracle that was Aston Villa's victory against Fulham and Watkins getting on the scoresheet (Jiayang rejoices). Looking ahead to Gameweek 7, we consider the appeal of Arsenal players (or lack thereof) ahead of their good fixture run, before unpacking Jacob's decision to transfer in João Pedro for Bowen—bad thought process or simply unlucky outcome? Then, we start to brainstorm strategies for the Bench Boost, the last chip that we have yet to mention in depth on the Fortress. Could Sunderland offer the perfect cheap yet solid options?Finally, in our Captaincy segment, we compare Haaland (decent fixture + excellent form), Saka (excellent fixture but nonexistent form + uncertain minutes), and Watkins (excellent fixture but practically nonexistent form). Call him insane, but Jiayang may or may not be leaning towards Watkins—which may or may not be due to a pact that he may or may not have made with the devil…Follow us on Twitter: @FplFortress

As August roll on by, Caitlin taps into that timeless back-to-school vibe! You know, the itch for new notebooks, pens in pastel colors, and a reset into fresh routines... DELICIOUS. Ah, but instead of chasing supply sales, we'll be reconnecting with something even more essential: the inner child who knew instinctively how to play, rest, and ask for help!In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative, Caitlin reflects on the podcast's journey—from its early days as Run Like Hell Toward Happy to its current incarnation—and shares why that original phrase still shapes their approach to creativity. They also talk about how joy and whimsy are our tools for creativity, self-connection, and dreaming of the future. "Children are inherently playful.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Georgia Freedman, author of “Snacking Dinners: 50+ Recipes for Low-Lift, High-Reward Dinners That Delight.”   “We put a lot of pressure on dinner,” Freedman explains.    You need a protein, a starch, and at least one kind of vegetable - five if you are in California. Plus, it's an important part of family life. It's a time to connect with your partner and talk to your kids.    “And all of this [cooking and bonding] happens when everybody is completely exhausted,” she explains.    When you reframe the idea - that dinner has to be everything - you can trade it in for a fun, family dining experience that's full of whimsy.   “A lot of the recipes that I created for [“Snacking Dinners”] are either snacks that are from my childhood - or other people's childhoods - that have been bulked up a little bit to make it more meal-like,” she said. “Or foods that I really love that I made into finger foods [or] snackable foods.”   Freedman talks about her early food memories, career journey, and how “Snacking Dinners” is different from her previous projects. She also shares her love of produce/salads, lots of snackable food prep tips, and her recipe for hummus topped with spiced nuts, olives, and raisins, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.    “All the recipes in this book, except for the prep ahead chapter, take 5 to 20 minutes,” Freedman explains. “Having that in your back pocket is a really nice way to let the pressure off on the nights when things don't go well, and turn dinner into something that's more relaxing and fun.”    Subscribe to Georgia Freedman's Substack at SnackingDinners.com.    For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.
