On today's episode, I interview Siobhan McCarthy, the writer, director, editor, animator and composer of SHE'S THE HE, a high-school farce about two guys who pose as trans women to sneak into the girls' locker room and allow one bud the opportunity to finally chat up his crush. However, when the other realizes she feels more than comfortable as a trans woman, to the point where she realizes she IS trans, the movie blossoms into a gentle yet goofy primer on the trans experience.McCarthy and I chatted about the memery laden within, the intersections of economic and gender oppression, the GOAT David Lynch and much, much more. I dare y'all to find someone with a brighter Golden Retriever energy. They're just that joyful.---Check out SHE'S THE HE showtimes hereFollow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!

On this week's episode of Female Gaze: The Film Club, we are revisiting Morgan's conversation with writer and director Lilian T. Mehrel to talk about her film, "Honeyjoon."  “Honeyjoon” is a mother-daughter dramedy which follows June and her mom Lela as they travel to the Azores islands for a grief anniversary, with contrasting ways of coping. A charming surfer slash tour guide brings balance as they (and we, the audience) surf the waves of life, loss, and flirting. It's an unforgettable ride of the light and dark waves of life, women reclaiming their pleasure, and sharing the inside joke of what it means to be a human. The film premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival where it won the AT&T Untold Stories Award. The film has screened at various film festivals throughout the U.S. and internationally, winning numerous audience awards and a Grand Jury Best Feature award. “Honeyjoon” opens in New York on June 10th for a week at the IFC Center. It will open in Los Angeles on June 12th, showing at the Laemmle Royal, Laemmle Town Center, and Laemmle Glendale. The film opens in Chicago on June 19th at the Gene Siskel Film Center and then in Toronto on June 22nd at TIFF Lightbox.

Her morning gets worse: a bound man in her closet, unconscious roommate, and her friend at knifepoint. She must solve it all before her 3PM brunch. Ian Kimble has been involved in the film industry as a director, writer, and producer for over ten years. He first found his love for storytelling in the theatre, acting in professional regional productions in the Philadelphia and South Jersey area throughout high school. After some college he moved to New York to pursue formal training in multiple acting disciplines and directing for film. He returned to Philadelphia and began his career as a director, actor, and theatre teacher, directing and acting in numerous plays and musicals and teaching acting disciplines to high school and college students at Mainstage Center for the Arts. During this time, he also wrote, directed, and produced a number of short films, several of which achieving success in the festival circuit. Building off the success of his short film, he expanded Dead Giveaway into a feature film. Dead Giveaway completed filming during the summer of 2024 and starred Ruby Modine, Mikaela Hoover, and Scout Taylor-Compton. It will premiere in 2025.

Here's our conversation with the team behind the Award-Winning film 'JUNKIE' - writer-director William Means and lead actor Rocky Shay. The film won both the Grand Jury and Audience Awards in the Narrative Feature category at the 2026 Florida Film Festival.----About the film:Junkie, the gritty debut feature from writer-director William Means, follows a haphazard 72 hours in the life of Stevie Chapman (played by real-life recovering addict Rocky Shay). A perpetual screwup running on empty, Stevie has escaped rehab (again). On the run, she sets out to make amends and reconcile with her estranged, gay son, Liam, before she skips town for good. Through Stevie's eyes, we are plunged into an eccentric tour of America's southern underbelly. An unforgettable odyssey, Junkie evolves into a touching, emotionally raw mother-and-son story about dignity, identity, and the fragile hope of redemption. Executive produced by Patty Jenkins (Monster, Wonder Woman), Junkie announces a bold new voice in Means, while Rocky Shay's fearless, darkly comic, and deeply human performance as the bonkers yet endearing Stevie stands as one of the great breakout performances of this year's festival. Director Bio:William Means (Junkie) (he/him) is a Los Angeles-based writer and director who earned his MFA in directing at the AFI Conservatory in 2021. Since AFI, William worked alongside cinematographer Lawrence Sher as well as director Patty Jenkins. His most recent short, “Blue Square Heart,” qualified for the 2024 Oscars®.

Host Dr Pasquale Iannone goes back to Naples in the early 1900s to discuss a pioneer of silent cinema and Italy's first woman filmmaker, Elvira Notari (1875 - 1946). Notari directed dozens of features and documentaries, but like so much from the silent era, only a small percentage of her work has survived. Most notably there are three films she made between 1920 and 1927 - A' santanotte (1922), È piccerella (1922) and Fantasia e surdate (1927) - a trio of passionate, visually daring, often subversive melodramas set in the streets of Naples - and all based on popular neapolitan songs.After her retirement in 1930, Notari's work languished in obscurity for decades until film scholars such as Vittorio Martinelli, Mario Franco, Giuliana Muscio and Giuliana Bruno led the way for the rediscovery of a crucially important figure in world cinema. Notari is the subject of a new documentary titled Elvira Notari: Beyond Silence which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2025 and which is currently touring the US before arriving in the UK and Ireland. First stop - right here at the University of Edinburgh on Thursday 30th April.Joining Pasquale to discuss this wonderful new film is its writer/director Valerio Ciriaci. Valerio tells Pasquale how he became interested in Notari's work, the background to his film, as well as his work with key collaborators such as composer Silvia Cignoli. They discuss Notari's working methods, her reception both in Italy and in the US as well as the timelessness of her thematic preoccupations.

Tyrone shares growing up in South London, developing a vivid imagination, and how his Christian faith grounds him through creative highs and lows while he aims to spread love through storytelling. He explains how a probation-required course at 16 led him into performing arts at Merton College, later reconnecting with theatre through a youth drama group. Tyrone describes his writing approach as creating shows he would want to watch, his casting process based on character profiles and auditions, and how judgment and peer pressure shaped his early choices. He reflects on success as lasting impact beyond money, happiness as presence rather than goals, language's power, advice about “power in the pen,” and promotes Wright Brothers' “Bridesmaid, Never the Bride” (14–16 May at Theatre Peckham).00:00 Legacy Mindset Intro01:10 Meet Tyrone 02:52 Growing Up South London04:11 Faith Identity Mirror08:39 Finding Theater Path09:25 From Trouble To Performing Arts14:13 Writing Shows Youd Watch17:54 Casting The Right Talent20:32 Life Without Judgment23:37 Soundtrack Of His Life25:35 Music Influences26:35 Integrity And Keeping Promises29:04 Gifts And Purpose Quote30:48 Desert Island Dream Guests32:24 Defining Success And Legacy35:49 Rethinking Happiness38:10 Power Of Language40:05 Best Advice For Creatives42:14 Peace As A Journey43:25 Where To Find Tyrone45:05 Podcast Outro And Final Trackwww.wrightbrosents.com@onetakety_ - insta@onetakety - tiktokThank you so much Tyrone for showing us that not matter the path that we began on it does not determine our future. - Savia Rocks Life is about the choices that we choose to make for ourselves - Savia Rocks Support the show

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 183 - Hlynur Pálmason - Writer / Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with writer and director Hlynur Pálmason (THE LOVE THAT REMAINS, GODLAND, A WHITE, WHITE DAY). Throughout the episode, we get into the weeds of Hlynur's unique filmmaking process, and we learn what his strategy has been to allow himself to fund and shoot the movies he wants to make. Hlynur describes his extensive writing process, and we learn about the importance of finding his locations while in the early development stages of his scripts. Later, we discuss Hlynur's tactics for making the most out of his relatively small budgets, and he reveals how he finds the rhythm of any given film with the actors. While discussing GODLAND, we reflect on the historical relationship between Denmark and Iceland in which the film is set, and we learn what Hlynur's motivation was for making the film to begin with. After studying still photography in Copenhagen and surviving a handful of odd jobs, Hlynur enrolled in the National Film School of Denmark, and we learn why he decided to take the film school route and what he ultimately gained from the experience. - Recommended Viewing: GODLAND - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Picture Shop

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 178 - Fatih Akin - Writer / Director In this extended episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with writer and director Fatih Akin (AMRUM, IN THE FADE, HEAD-ON). Born in Hamburg, Fatih wrote his first script at 18 during religion lessons, and after selling the screenplay a year later, he's been writing, directing, and producing films ever since. In addition to discussing his process as a filmmaker, we also learn what it's like to make movies within the German system. During our conversation about THE EDGE OF HEAVEN, Fatih reveals the extensive restructuring of the film's story in the edit, and while discussing IN THE FADE, Fatih reflects on the events that led to casting Diane Kruger in the film's lead role. Fatih's latest film, AMRUM, is based on the childhood memories of late director Hark Bohm, and we learn how Hark not only inspired Fatih to make movies in his hometown but also convinced him he was the right person to tell a story about the end of the Third Reich, set on a remote German island. Plus, Fatih reveals the influence of Bruce Lee's films and martial arts philosophy on his work. - Recommended Viewing: AMRUM, IN THE FADE, THE EDGE OF HEAVEN - This episode is sponsored by Picture Shop & Aputure
