Episode 156 - Oscar Week (Pt. 3) feat. Guy Nattiv, Jeremy Comte, & Marshall Curry

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON ITUNES HERE

Today's episode is Part 3 of our Oscar Week coverage!


Today's films come to us from the Live Action and Documentary Short categories. I talked with 3 of the Oscar nominated filmmakers, starting with Guy Nattiv from "Skin", Jeremy Comte from "Fauve", and Marshall Curry from "A Night at the Garden". 


Today's collection of films are all incredibly intense films with powerful themes and messages. I talked with each of the filmmakers about how their films stories came about, how Marshall learned about the Night at the Garden, the acting choices made in the films, the messages they hope are taken away from their films and so much more! Marshall Curry recently made the news with "A Night at the Garden" when Fox News refused to play his 30 second trailer. 


The Oscar Shorts are still playing in theaters around the country, as well as on the Oscar Shorts TV. All 15 films nomianted in the short film categories are absolutely incredible and I've had a wonderful time talking to all of these great filmmakers. This is the final part of our 3 part Oscar Shorts coverage and we can't begin to thank all of these Oscar Nominated Directors enough for their time. 


A special thanks to Guy Nattiv, Jeremy Comte, and Marshall Curry for taking the time out of their incredibly busy schedule. Don't miss their films as part of the Oscar Shorts Program. 

Best of luck to all of our guests at the Oscars this Sunday! 

Enjoy the episode.

Episode 155 - Oscar Week (Pt. 2) feat. Louise Bagnall, David Fine, Alison Snowden, and Trevor Jimenez

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON ITUNES HERE

Today's episode is Part 2 of our Oscar week coverage!


Today's films focus soley on the Animated Short film category as I talk with 4 of the Oscar Nominated filmmakers, starting with  Louise Bagnall from "Late Afternoon", David Fine and Alison Snowden from "Animal Behaviour", and Trevor Jimenez from "Weekends".


The animated categories are always some of my favorite because animation offers a lot of freedom to story telling that you can't do with live action, and really lets the filmmakers imagination and creativity shine. I talked with each of them about their story development, the artistic approach and unique styles, inspiration behind their films, and so much more.



The Oscar Shorts are still playing in theaters around the country, as well on the Oscar Shorts TV. All 15 films nominated in the short film categories are absolutely incredible and I'm having a wonderful time talking to all of these great filmmakers. Stay tuned for the 3 part of our Oscar week coverage tommorw as I talk to 3 more of the Oscar nominated Directors. 



A special thanks to Louise Bagnall, David Fine, Alison Snowden, and Trevor Jimenez for taking the time out of their incredibly busy week to talk with me. Don't miss their films as part of the Oscar Shorts Program. 

Best of luck to all of our guests at the Oscars this Sunday.

All 15 films nominated in the short film categories are absoultely incredible and are having a wonderful time talking to all of these filmmakers.

Episode 152 - F**k You, Kevin

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON ITUNES HERE

[NSFW WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT]

On today's episode, Austin and I catch up after a month long unintended hiatus.


From the moment January 2019 started, things became insanely busy for us without any warning. I was Producing shows for the Sundance Film Festival, Austin ened up filming a role in a movie, I also ended up getting sick and Austin made some career strides all while prepping for an art show and a small move. Before we knew it, January was over. I also had a run in with a guy named Kevin who inspired a new sign off the podcast, which is also the name of this episode. Listen to the episode for the full story. 

We're happy to be back and have a lot of great episodes ahead. Later this week we have Aaron Bleyaert from Conan on the show and all of our Oscar coverage starts next week! 

Enjoy this new episode!
