Jamie Beat Culture and Darrell Austin return to DIY Cinema Cult and tell us about the incredible critical response to the premiere and limited theatrical release of HYPER: THE STEVIE HYPER D STORY. We have been following and sharing in their indie film story since 2020 and it was so good to have them back to hear all the latest news - as well as the exciting plans for the future! We also get down to a little DIY film making therapy.

We welcome back Jamie Ross Hulme as he returns to the podcast, along with Darrel Austin, director and producers of the fantastic feature doc 'HYPER: THE STEVIE HYPER D STORY'. As we will hear it has been a long journey to get this film to the big screen but they are now achingly close and on the verge of an incredibly exciting cinema release. There is one final hurdle and that is with the licensing and legal clearances for theatrical distribution.

In this episode Marc takes a trip back to Wembley Park to try and find the studios where Lynch filmed his iconic follow-up to Eraserhead, The Elephant Man (1980). He also attempts to find the the house rented by Lynch during his time living in one of London's less luxurious suburbs.

In this episode Aaron and Marc take an up-close and beady-eyed look into the production of David Lynch's iconic, cult, DIY debut feature film Eraserhead (1977). It is a fantastic tale of endurance and dedication and of DIY filmmakers at their most create, imaginative and resourceful.

Aaron and Marc have been getting on with the job of producing their low budget Indie feature films. 'Free Party' has been on the Doc N'Roll tour around the country as well as dipping it's big toe into the international festival circuit. 'The Old Man' has been going through some drastic editorial cuts and Marc has completed his experimental side film project 'Twelve Spells'. They discuss what they have learnt so far about the realities of independent film sales and distribution.

Aaron storms the Doc'n Roll festival with FREE PARTY while Marc gears up to shoot final pick ups for THE OLD MAN. They also discuss old video formats, underground film screenings, Film Tax Refunds, Chaos Magick and how best to step through a cosmic anus.

Aaron and Marc catch up after a few months break to update each other on their respective DIY feature films. It's a wrap on shooting for The Old Man and Free Party has been test screening to audiences. They also discuss A.I., dystopian gigs of the future and tips for fitting screenwriting into an already over-loaded lifestyle.

It's the traditional Frosty Perineum New Year's episode and Aaron and Marc take their time-honoured boozy stroll about the chilly North London streets. On their way they meet the three Ghosts of Perineum Past and perform a Chaos Magic ceremony up a hill. Happy New Year!

Aaron and Marc celebrate their 30th episode of DIY Cinema Cult. They sup on gin martinis, cause some reverie and take a little look back at some past episodes and guests. They get a bit techie, ponder the problem with film festivals and discuss feature films as the perfect film school.

They also stalk director Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Rogue One) in an attempt to get him on the show for an interview. This episode is sponsored by Bombay Mix.

Aaron and Marc catch up about the recent screenings of 'Free Party: A Folk History' in Bristol. They discuss terrifying screenings, raves, the complications of dressing up as old women and ponder an accidental Ukrainian fan.
