Podcasts about writer director

In this special bonus episode recorded before their Season 8 finale discussion, Berly and LA score the ultimate get: Ben Edlund himself, the genius writer-producer who literally gave their podcast its name with that iconic "denim-wrapped nightmares" line from Season 6.Ben takes the hosts on a wild ride through his Supernatural journey, from joining the show in Season 2 (after binge-watching all of Season 1 on VHS tapes like some kind of monster) to navigating what he describes as the show's "muscle car, bro-y" culture while being the guy who brought whimsy and chaos to the series. He reveals the origin stories behind fan-favorite episodes like "Monster Movie" (spoiler: it involved solving the "good will hunting on the board" problem of classic Hollywood monsters), "The French Mistake" (originally pitched as more Broadway Danny Rose, Kripke made it meta perfection), and the Ghost Facers theme song (yes, that's Ben singing in falsetto).The conversation gets emotional discussing "Abandon All Hope" and the heartbreaking deaths of Ellen and Jo—a decision Ben clarifies wasn't solely his but one he committed to making as devastating as possible. He also defends killing too many characters (sort of), explains why Andy and Bobby should've stuck around for story leverage, and admits he probably wouldn't kill a dog in "Repo Man" if he wrote it today.Fair warning: Ben's a delightfully rambling genius who goes on tangents about everything from Bat Boy to Steely Dan production modes, and the hosts are living for every minute of it.Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_EdlundFootnote: Since the recording of this interview, Berly and LA have, in fact, cried during another one of their episodes.Send us your review!Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Please rate and review Denim-Wrapped Nightmares wherever you get your podcasts!

"I love adaptations. The beauty of adaptation, especially a classic, like Shakespeare and Chekhov or Ibsen, they're such a gift because they give you this beautiful framework, and it's almost like they're begging you to take it and make it your own," says writer/director Nia DaCosta about adapting Henrik Ibsen's 1891 play Hedda Gabler into her new film Hedda.   Set in the 1950s, the movie stars Tessa Thompson in the lead role, Imogen Poots as Thea, and reimagines the character Eilert Lovborg as a queer woman (now Eileen), played by Nina Hoss.  We chat with Nia DaCosta about her journey to becoming a filmmaker, genre hopping into horror with Candyman and the upcoming 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. She even made the superhero movie The Marvels. We also talk about the challenges of tackling the complicated, often cruel character of Hedda in the new film.  "When I read the play [Hedda Gabler]," says DaCosta, "I'm like, this woman is hilarious! She's absolutely absurd. In the play, she's so verbose roaming around this sitting room, yelling at everyone who comes in. I wanted to replicate that, but more through action. And then there's the empathy part of it. To me, her tragedy is that she will never know herself. It's a life's work to understand and know ourselves, our emotional world. I think because she is so cruel, because she is so unhappy, because she has made these decisions that have trapped herself in this life – that to me is really sad. But I don't want people to forgive her for what she's done, or to excuse it."  DaCosta also shares her advice on adapting someone else's story. "I think you have to know why you want to do it, and what it is you want to use the work to say. To let that 'why' sort of guide your pen. That's my convoluted way of saying trust your gut."  If you've been thinking about adapting a classic play into a modern movie, you don't want to miss this podcast.

Writer/Director Mary Bronstein and Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer, and Re-recording Mixer Filipe Messeder join us to discuss “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You” — the searing and darkly funny new indie film from A24 about the dark side of motherhood. Featuring a tour-de-force performance by Rose Byrne, the film made quite a splash when it premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Despite its relatively small budget, quite a lot of work went into the sound design of the film, with a sometimes unconventional, yet wildly effective approach to sound as a storytelling tool.“By using sound design, it's not so much what a score does… it's world building. It's building the world that she lives in and some of it is in her head… When you see it in a theater, some of those cues are making your chest bones rumble. In a quite literal way, it's happening to you. And in the same way that it's happening to her… So it's taking her inner world and it's externalizing it for the viewer.”—Mary Bronstein, Writer/Director, “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You”Be sure to check out “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You,” now playing in select theaters (and nationwide this Friday) in Dolby Atmos® where available.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

“[My dad] really started to inhabit the characters, especially Ray, speaking as him during the writing process. That was when I realized this was going to be its own kind of special beast. Working with him taught me so much as a writer and storyteller; by the time we got to set, we had a shorthand for everything,” says director and co-writer Ronan Day-Lewis about writing the script Anemone with his father, Daniel Day-Lewis.   The film Anemone, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean and Samantha Morton, paints a portrait of a family torn apart as they struggle to come to terms with their past and present after their harrowing experiences with the Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Isolation, shame, regret and the true meaning of brotherhood are themes explored in this hyper-focused family drama.   On today's episode we sit down with Ronan Day-Lewis to find out more about his edgy first feature film, what it's like writing a screenplay with Daniel Day-Lewis, and Ronan's personal connection between his visual art and the imagery in the film.  Ronan also shares this advice to screenwriters tackling family and generational stories: “Whatever you can fall in love with, latch onto that: an image, a feeling, a character. Don't put pressure on approaching a script a certain way. Stay open, be patient, and keep sight of what originally gave you the impulse to enter that world. Over time, the story will reveal itself to you.” To learn more about this surprising and deeply emotional film, listen to the podcast. 

One of the year's best films opens in theaters this weekend, and today Ian sits down with Killing Faith star DeWanda Wise and writer/director Ned Crowley for a look at the making of this twisty, twisted, and powerful supernatural horror western!The film centers on Sarah (Wise), a freed slave living on the outskirts of a desert town in 1849. She is determined to get to her daughter to a faith healer (Bill Pullman) in a neighboring territory, in the hopes that he can exorcise whatever evil causes instantaneous death in anyone (or anything) the little girl touches. Along the way, Sarah collects a group of troubled outcasts, including a disgraced ether junky/doctor named Steelbender (Guy Pearce), whose atheism is put to the test with every bizarre encounter besetting their caravan.In the following two interviews, Ian digs into Killing Faith's characters, the conditions under which this top-notch indie was pulled together, and how the film connects to Crowley's first feature, Middle Man--which he and Ian discussed nearly a decade ago. Plus: You'll learn about Ned's surprise endorsement from the Master of Horror!

“You have to love all your characters. Even if you're writing a bad guy. You, the writer, have to write them with love and empathy, and treat each character, give each character, a full life and a full arc in your story, even if their screen time is small. Essentially, if you were following that character, they also have a full story, a full life,” says actor/writer Brett Goldstein about how he approaches writing characters in film and TV.  On today's episode, we chat with writer/director Will Bridges and writer/actor Brett Goldstein about their new film All of You, starring Imogen Poots and Brett Goldstein. The film centers on two best friends, Laura and Simon, who harbor an unspoken love for one another even after a futuristic test matches one of them up with their supposed soulmate. Though the set-up of the story sounds like science-fiction, the movie stays firmly grounded in reality and examines the human need for love and how we often sabotage that love.  If you're a fan of the show Black Mirror, you likely know Will Bridges' Emmy-winning episode “USS Callister,” the only Black Mirror episode to get a sequel. Brett Goldstein is perhaps most famous for playing Roy Kent on Ted Lasso, where he was a writer on the show before acting on it. He talks about his self-taped audition for the show and how taking that one risk changed everything for him.   Bridges and Goldstein talk about working together on an early project where they were forced to bunk in a “spider infested Airbnb,” and they also discuss the nuances of their writing in the film All of You, including why they left out all exposition. “We never wanted to be too specific about where Simon and Laura are in their relationship, but we want to draw you in quickly. We want you playing detective: Where are they now? What's going on with them? So we just trusted the audience would get it,” Bridges says.  They also discuss why you never see Laura or Simon separate from each other. “One of the rules of the film,” says Goldstein, “we only see them when they're together. We don't see their lives when they're apart, and that's kind of fun and interesting to me, that we are watching the film of them. We are not watching the film of what it's like to be Simon, what's it like to be Laura, we only know what it's like to be them.” To hear more, listen to the podcast.

Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value is the talk of the season, and Christina sits down with the acclaimed Norwegian director to dig into it. Featuring Renate Reinsve, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgård, and Elle Fanning, the film has already won the Grand Prix at Cannes, charmed audiences on the festival circuit, and is quickly becoming an Oscar favorite. Christina and Trier dive into its rich themes — family roles, complicated relationships, and the deeply personal ideas at its heart. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bina Bhattacharya is a creative storyteller whose work I've been following for a while now. Her 2017 short film Wild Dances embraced music and cultural identity against the backdrop of Eurovision, while her section in the exemplary anthology film Here Out West, titled The Eternal Dance, is the story from that film that has left the deepest mark on me. Music plays a major role in Bina's filmmaking, and it's another prominent aspect of her feature length debut film From All Sides, with Georgia Anderson's Nina using music to support her passion for dance. This is just one slice of the narrative tapestry that Bina is working with in From All Sides, a drama which presents narratives we rarely see on Australian screens, let alone in global cinema. From the audacious opening which sees wife and husband, Anoushka (Monique Kalmar) and Pascal (Max Brown), engaging in a steamy bisexual foursome, to their domestic lives as parents to Nina and Clyde (Gavril Kumar), and then into the workplace where Anoushka navigates the politics of a support business owned by Toula (Rebekah Elmaloglou). While, on paper, it might seem like there's a lot going on within From All Sides, Bina writes the film like a slice of life. As you'll hear in the following interview, the lived-in perspective of From All Sides comes from Bina herself and her desire to see bisexual stories on screen alongside Australian stories told from a South Asian perspective. This interview was recorded ahead of From All Sides world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, and its subsequent screening at the Queer Screen Film Fest. Queer Screen had previously taken From All Sides to the Marche Du Film in Cannes earlier in 2025 for their Queer Screen Goes to Cannes selection. This is a wide ranging interview with Bina, where we talk about what it means to present stories from Western Sydney on screen, what her creative journey was like to get to this feature film stage, the importance of seeing bisexual lives on screen, and much, much more. To find out more about Bina's work, make sure to follow her on Instagram @binafilmmaker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Show Notes:In this week's episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Racheal Cain about her debut feature length film, Somnium.

Racheal spoke about the 13 year process of making Somnium from start to finish, what the two phases of the shooting process were like, and the very cool story behind finding her two leads. She also talked about her days making movies as a kid, whether or not she relates to the main character in Somnium, and her advice for filmmakers who are making their first feature.Racheal's Socials: Rent Somnium and Find Screenings Here: https://linktr.ee/somniumthemovie?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafEoHPSBzTBTsIHtwih7nfMZezH-NROPU6wm_LUoVSalmM_cfujd6-cOtjGBw_aem_vXSdCXX6imS95Jm1TPViewSomnium on IG: https://www.instagram.com/somniumthemovieWho's There?

From the audacious opening which sees wife and husband, Anoushka (Monique Kalmar) and Pascal (Max Brown), engaging in a steamy bisexual foursome, to their domestic lives as parents to Nina and Clyde (Gavril Kumar), and then into the workplace where Anoushka navigates the politics of a support business owned by Toula (Rebekah Elmaloglou). While, on paper, it might seem like there's a lot going on within From All Sides, Bina writes the film like a slice of life. As you'll hear in the following interview, the lived-in perspective of From All Sides comes from Bina herself and her desire to see bisexual stories on screen alongside Australian stories told from a South Asian perspective. This interview was recorded ahead of From All Sides world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, and its subsequent screening at the Queer Screen Film Fest. Queer Screen had previously taken From All Sides to the Marche Du Film in Cannes earlier in 2025 for their Queer Screen Goes to Cannes selection. This is a wide ranging interview with Bina, where we talk about what it means to present stories from Western Sydney on screen, what her creative journey was like to get to this feature film stage, the importance of seeing bisexual lives on screen, and much, much more.

Join Justin as he chats with writer and filmmaker Henry Darrow McComas about his movie The Camp Host, Are You Afraid of the Dark, night terrors, The Monster Squad Documentary, and more!Henry Darrow McComas bio:“Henry Darrow McComas is a Writer/Director from Anchorage, Alaska, with a passion for discovering beauty in the overlooked. This theme is a rich part of Wolfman's Got Nards: A Documentary, an award-winning horror documentary - which he produced, wrote, shot and edited - that celebrates the beloved cult film 'The Monster Squad' and its dedicated following. It quickly became a festival darling, introducing McComas to the LA horror community, and continues to gain fans and critical acclaim worldwide. McComas' scripts use genre as a tool to explore personal human relationships. He puts his characters in dangerous settings like the unforgiving North American frontier and haunts them with metaphor...something he picked up from his youth chasing daylight during frigid Arctic winters. McComas conjures horror out of his real life experiences. His first studio narrative feature film, THE CAMP HOST, was inspired by a van trip he took with his wife during the global pandemic. He wrote the script in the van; drove the van to Toronto to shoot the movie; and worked with his editor remotely from the van. His productions have taken him all over the world (including Antarctica) and he swears his next project will be based somewhere tropical. He's a multi-hyphenate filmmaker who has created for some of the industry's biggest studios and networks.”Intro and outro theme created by Wyrm.

In this episode of Visual Intonation, we sit down with writer-director Kennard Blackwell, a DC-based filmmaker whose work glides between narrative, commercial, and music video. His films are shaped by contrast, beauty, and the unflinching search for emotional truth. Whether crafting campaigns for nonprofits or framing fashion on film, Kennard brings a sharp eye and a quiet confidence to every project he touches. From his years as Creative Director at 522 Productions to his freelance directing across eight years, Kennard has led crews, pitched bold ideas, and built visuals that resonate. His approach is hands-on and deeply intentional. He doesn't just make images. He builds stories that live in the tension between hope and hardship, polish and grit. Before the commercial world, there was the church stage. Kennard's journey began with media work for youth ministries, where he designed graphics, taught students, and directed weekly productions with over 30 actors and crew. The constraints were tight but the creativity was wide open. It was there that he learned how to lead, how to light a set, how to shape a feeling. Join us as we explore Kennard's evolution from Sunday school stage to cinematic storytelling. Hear how collaboration fuels his process, why authenticity matters more than perfection, and what it takes to direct with heart in an industry driven by image. This is a conversation about vision, voice, and the long road between the two.    Kennard Blackwell (@k_black) • Instagram photos and videos  Kennard Blackwell - Freelance Film Director/Writer & Editor | LinkedIn   Kennard Blackwell - Director, Editor & Screenwriter - Vimeo  kennard blackwell Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

“The thing that started it all off was me saying [the character Toxie] should be a guy in a suit. In other words, let's not do a computer-generated creature, let's have a person in a suit and have that handmade, hand-stitched kind of quality to it where you can sort of see the seams a little bit and have that be part of the fun. I also said let's have it be rated R. Hopefully y'all are not interested in a family-friendly PG-13 version of this movie, because that's not what the fans of the original are going to want, so let's keep it in the R-zone. And let's make sure it stays very silly. That silliness is what was so appealing to me about the original, and I just wanted to make sure that we weren't going to try and do something that was too self-serious,” says The Toxic Avenger writer/director Macon Blair about pitching Legendary Studios his version of how he would reimagine the classic black comedy splatter film for a modern audience while staying loyal to the fans of the 1984 version.  On today's episode, we chat with writer/director/actor Macon Blair about his previous films like Blue Ruin and I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, which won the Sundance Grand Jury award in 2017. His latest film is a reboot of The Toxic Avenger starring Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon, and is a whole lot of gory, gross-out fun. Blair talks about the need to dig into the over-the-top absurdity of the franchise while still making the modern version of the story feel authentic.  “I'm always looking for something that I can connect to on a personal level. I don't mean autobiographical. I mean to be able to have that electrical current with what I'm typing out,” he says. Blair tells us about his on-going journey to finding his voice as a writer and what it was like waiting two years to get distribution for The Toxic Avenger. He also explains why he skewers a famous screenwriting trope in the film that involves a cat named Mr. Treats who was apparently quite the menace. To hear more insight, listen to the podcast.

Boaz Yakin is a New York City–born filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer known for his versatile work across indie dramas, mainstream hits, genre films, and TV. He began his career young, selling his first screenplay (The Punisher) at 19, and quickly made a name for himself with gritty urban stories and emotionally resonant character work.Boaz directed Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, Safe starring Jason Statham, Max, Uptown Girls, A Price Above Rubies, Death in Love and his indie horror mystery Boarding School among many others.Beyond directing, as a writer, his credits include The Rookie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Now You See Me. He is also the executive producer and writer for the noir Apple TV+ series Lady in the Lake, and was executive producer of Hostel and Hostel 2 as one of the founding members of Raw Nerve alongside Eli Roth.As impressive as this intro is, it still reflects only a small portion of Boaz's prolific, extensive, and diverse body of work.In this conversation, Boaz discusses his career as well as his evolution as a filmmaker, the challenges of working within and outside the Hollywood system, and why his favorite films are guided less by career strategy and more by creative curiosity. He also discusses how the key to rewarding work in cinema is chasing meaning, not validation.This was a pretty awesome conversation that I was very honored to have with Boaz. Big thanks to my friend Scott Rose for putting us in touch. Without further ado, strap in, and get ready for this conversation with writer, director, and producer Boaz Yakin.Key TakeawaysLearn Script AnalysisBoaz sold his first script at 19, but he didn't just stumble into success or a superior storytelling ability — he was steeped in story from an early age. Growing up in a theatrical household and attending Stella Adler's famed script analysis classes during high school gave him a formidable foundation in character, psychology, and subtext. This background trained him to understand the deeper currents beneath the text, a skill that directly influenced his ability to write sellable screenplays at such a young age and launch his career before he could even buy a drink.This education also proved invaluable for Boaz as a director. Stella Adler taught that actors — and by extension, writers and directors — must understand every facet of a character's environment: their culture, their religion, the tone of the scene and even the weather. These contextual details inform performance and behavior and are the difference between movies and cinema.For filmmakers, building full character and environmental context informs every decision on set. The key lesson here is the importance of foundational education because learning the principles of story and writing can pay long-term dividends.Open Heart / Thick SkinOne of the most revealing points Boaz made was about the emotional toll of directing. Filmmakers are constantly having to say no to other creative collaborators — costume designers, cinematographers, actors — in order to preserve the vision of the film. Balancing that responsibility while also keeping your team inspired and not demoralized requires not only leadership, but emotional stamina and clarity of purpose.Boaz notes that many successful directors tend to have narcissistic tendencies, which buffer them from the guilt or sensitivity that might get in the way of making tough decisions — but this can harm your work just as much as being a pushover. Being empathetic makes you a better artist and can help your work resonate with more people. What Boaz teaches us here is that in addition to being emotionally resilient, directors must be emotionally intelligent. It's a balance you must...

Zach Cregger, Writer/Director of 2022's “Barbarian,” is back with another insanely unique horror mystery… this time about a class full of kids disappearing into the night with arms outstretched. Tune in to hear us break down “Weapons” — from all the moments that creeped us out, to every twist we didn't see coming, and the character we can't stop raving about – Aunt Gladys!
