For the final episode of Season 2, I talk to ZACH KUPERSTEIN.  He’s a brilliant cinematographer who helped create the instant horror classic, BARBARIAN (which I spoke to Zach and the writer/director of Barbarian in episode 1 of this season). But long before BARBARIAN, Zach had already created an amazing body of work. He shot the fantastic horror film, THE VIGIL, the wonderfully disturbing black and white movie, THE EYES OF MY MOT...

Today, I sit down with a film producer who has helped make some truly legendary films with a legendary filmmaker. Fred Fuchs worked with Francis Ford Coppola on films like THE GODFATHER 3, BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA…as well as Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES.  Somebody once said, that a producer is an enabler of art, and Fred is no exception.

Today, I’m talking with cinematographer Adam McDaid, and production designer Joshua Petersen. Together these two helped create the world of the new Freeform 1/2 hour comedy, EVERYTHING’S TRASH created by Phoebe Robinson.  Most people don’t realize, these artists are the right and left hand of a director or a showrunner. While creators imagine a world in their head, a production designer builds it, and the cinematographer films it....

Today we’ve got not one, but two guests: Composer Ben Lovett & Film Editor David Marks.  They were part of the team that brought us the fantastic new horror film, THE NIGHT HOUSE.  It stars Rebecca Hall in an unforgettable performance reminiscent of Julie Christie in DON’T LOOK NOW.  Movies are sight and sound…music and imagery spliced together to tell a story…and without the crafts of music and editing…well, we really wouldn’t ...

Today I’m talking to Ellen Arden. She’s a makeup artist who helped create the completely original world of Marvel’s WEREWOLF BY NIGHT. Just when we think we’ve seen it all — a movie comes along that takes an old form and re-shapes it in such a different way that it’s suddenly thrilling/really exciting…in this instance, I’m talking about WEREWOLF BY NIGHT. It’s a crazy experiment by Marvel Studios, and the directorial debut of comp...

My guest today is a special one. He’s absolutely one of the most unsung heroes in the world of films and filmmaking, and particularly in this age when movies being shot and projected on film is a rarity. Benjamin Tucker is a film projectionist. But he also happens to be the Chief Projectionist at the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles…and is responsible for projecting some of the most memorable and important films and creating a...

Today we have two very special guests.  Michael Sarnoski, a writer/Director whose debut film is none other than PIG — starring Nicolas Cage playing a culinary Buddha in a beautifully restrained performance alongside a frenetically ambitious Alex Wolff—it’s co-written by Vanessa Block and I think it’s the first in a sub-genre I like to call Chef-Noir.  My other guest is PIG's editor Brett Bachman (who also edited MANDY & THE COLOR...

This episode is truly special, because I was lucky enough to speak to one of the industry’s up and coming stars, Charlese Antoinette Jones. If there is a new wave of talent helping to re-shape films and filmmaking, Charlese is at its peak.

Today we’re talking to two very exciting filmmakers — the writer/director(Zach Cregger) & the cinematographer(Zach Kuperstein) of the wildly inventive horror film, BARBARIAN. I grew up on horror movies, it’s the reason I wanted to make movies…movies like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Evil Dead 2…movies that are perfect because of how terrifying they are, but also how original they are — and BARBARIAN sits in the same class as tho...
