November 26, 2025 How They Made a Full-Length Movie for $7,000 | The Microbudget Filmmaking Miracle of BURT!
The Microbudget Filmmaking Miracle of BURT!

$7,000 might buy you a used car—but in Hollywood, it barely covers a single day of craft services on a studio film set.
But in the world of microbudget filmmaking, $7K became the entire production budget for filmmakers Joe Burke and Oliver Cooper, who used that tiny sum to create a full-length, truly independent feature film.
With a small crew, non-professional actors, shooting quickly, with a raw, natural shooting style, they crafted BURT— a miracle of sweetness and depth— a film that captures the spirit of classic indie cinema, echoing the charm of mumblecore pioneers like Andrew Bujalski, Greta Gerwig, and the Duplass Brothers.
Having wowed audiences at numerous film festivals, Joe and Oliver are channeling the Cassavetes playbook—and releasing BURT themselves into theaters.
On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we wanted to talk to them about the inspiration for the film, their creative process, how they pulled off a feature on a shoestring budget, and the strategy behind bringing an independent film directly to audiences.
BURT is a small gem of a film, and Joe and Oliver are great examples of the indie spirit.
So if you're dreaming of selling your car to make a movie—or want to learn how authentic independent films get made—you’ll want to start this episode right now… on Inside the Arthouse.

November 19, 2025 LEFT-HANDED GIRL: Taiwan’s Oscar Entry Redefining Indie Cinema
LEFT-HANDED GIRL: Taiwan’s Oscar Entry Redefining Indie Cinema with director Shih-Ching Tsou.
LEFT-HANDED GIRL is the latest breakout in Taiwanese indie cinema—a vibrant, deeply personal coming-of-age story from filmmaker Shih-Ching Tsou, co-writer and frequent collaborator of multi–Oscar-winning director Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project, Red Rocket). Set against the electric pulse of Taipei’s night markets, the film follows a young girl pushing back against cultural expectations and discovering her own voice. It’s intimate, tender, and boldly cinematic—the kind of film that sneaks up on you and stays.
Born out of a long creative partnership that began in an AFI editing class and evolved across years of filmmaking, LEFT-HANDED GIRL marks Tsou’s most personal work yet. Co-written and edited by Baker, the film has already drawn international acclaim, premiering at major festivals and earning a celebrated spot at Cannes. It is also Taiwan’s official submission to the 2025 Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film, powered by stunning performances from its unforgettable trio of lead actresses.
On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Shih-Ching Tsou to explore her path to the film—how her collaborations shaped her craft, how she built this world from lived experience, and what it takes to break tradition in pursuit of your own creative truth.
If you’ve ever felt torn between expectation and self-discovery, this conversation will hit home.
Inside the Arthouse—starting now.

November 14, 2025 The Story Behind the Gaza Documentary Everyone's Talking About
🎬 Put My Soul in My Hand and Walk | Inside the Arthouse
In this episode of Inside the Arthouse, filmmaker Sepideh Farsi dives into her gripping new documentary Put My Soul in My Hand and Walk — a visceral, human story emerging from one of the most turbulent moments in recent memory.
Unable to enter Gaza herself, Farsi partnered with journalist Fatma Hasona, whose raw footage and lived experience drive the emotional heartbeat of the film. Together, they craft an intimate look at daily life, resilience, and the courage it takes to document truth under extraordinary pressure.
This conversation is not about politics — it’s about people. About the creative act of bearing witness. About art shaped in the midst of conflict. And about the universal longing for understanding in a fractured world.
A powerful, deeply felt discussion on filmmaking, humanity, and storytelling when it matters most.

November 05, 2025 Queer Art, Intimacy, and the Legacy of a Generation with Ira Sachs
Inside the Arthouse | Ira Sachs on Peter Hujar’s Day — Queer Art, Intimacy & the Legacy of a Generation
It’s been nearly 30 years since filmmaker Ira Sachs made his indie debut with The Delta. While many of his peers moved toward studio franchises or television, Sachs has remained committed to crafting deeply personal films that explore love, identity, and the quiet intricacies of human connection.
In his new feature, Peter Hujar’s Day, Sachs turns to the rediscovered transcript of Linda Rosenkrantz’s 1974 interview with groundbreaking photographer Peter Hujar — a portrait of an artist, a community, and a moment in American culture that shaped everything that followed.
With mesmerizing performances from Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall, the film becomes a meditation on memory, creation, and the passage of time — a tender homage to queer history and artistic truth.
At just 76 minutes, it’s lean but layered — a film that lingers like a photograph, revealing more the longer you look.
🎙️ Join hosts Greg Laemmle and Raphael Sbarge for an intimate conversation with Ira Sachs about art, legacy, and why the most radical act in cinema might still be honesty.

November 01, 2025 Oday Rasheed & Jess Jacobs: Love, Displacement & the Search for Belonging
🎬 Inside the Arthouse | Oday Rasheed & Jess Jacobs on If You See Something — Love, Asylum & the Immigrant Experience
In this episode of Inside the Arthouse, hosts Greg Laemmle and Raphael Sbarge, sit down with Iraqi-American filmmaker Oday Rasheed and actor-writer-producer Jess Jacobs to explore their new drama If You See Something.
Rasheed’s American debut tells the story of Ali, an Iraqi doctor seeking asylum in New York, and Katie, an ambitious American art-gallery professional. When personal and social crises collide, their relationship becomes a powerful lens for examining identity, belonging, and human connection in a world of displacement.
Jacobs shares her journey – from writing and starring in the film to producing it – and discusses how she brings sensitivity, nuance, and emotional honesty to stories of migration and integration.
New York Women in Film & Television
Together, Rasheed and Jacobs unpack:
How to approach storytelling about asylum and immigration without falling into clichés
The challenges and rewards of making a personal film in the US as an outsider/insider
The role of art and cinema in exploring real-world displacement, love, and hope
What it takes to make a studio-scale indie film with heart, risk, and meaning
Join us for a rich conversation that goes beyond the frame: filming in New York, balancing intimacy and scope, and the impact of a story that asks: What does belonging really feel like when everything around you is uncertain?

October 27, 2025 Why Are Comedians More Trusted Than Politicians Now?
🎬 Inside the Arthouse | COEXISTENCE, MY ASS! — Comedy, Conflict, and the Fight for Peace
The war in Gaza may have quieted under a fragile ceasefire, but the conflict between Israel and Palestine continues to divide. In a world where politicians fail to find common ground, can comedy succeed where diplomacy has stalled?
In filmmaker Amber Fares’s new documentary, COEXISTENCE, MY ASS!, we meet Noam Shuster-Eliassi — a former UN staffer turned comedian using humor to bridge the divide between Israelis and Palestinians. Her story spans from the early days of her one-woman show, through the pandemic shutdown, and into the aftermath of October 7, 2023, revealing a fearless performer who refuses to stop laughing — or speaking truth to power — even in the darkest moments.
Our hosts Raphael Sbarge and Greg Laemmle sit down with Amber Fares and Noam Shuster-Eliassi to talk about satire, resistance, and the role of art in times of conflict — from Tel Aviv to late-night TV.

October 22, 2025 Roads of Fire: Finding Humanity Beyond the Headlines
🎧 New Episode: Roads of Fire — Seeing Beyond the Headlines on Immigration
The question of illegal immigration dominates today’s headlines—but between outrage and fear, the human stories often get lost.
In his powerful new documentary Roads of Fire, filmmaker Nathaniel Lezra turns down the noise to show what’s really happening on the ground. Through three intimate threads, he reveals the humanity, complexity, and courage behind one of the most urgent issues of our time.
🔥 One journey follows Venezuelan migrants crossing into Colombia and braving the dangerous overland trek through Panama’s Darién Gap.
🔥 Another highlights advocates, faith leaders, and volunteers in New York City working tirelessly to shelter, feed, and guide asylum seekers.
🔥 And finally, we meet one mother’s story of survival and renewal, as she rebuilds a life for herself and her children in the U.S.
Whatever your stance on immigration policy, this is a film—and a conversation—that asks us to look closer, to listen deeper, and to remember the real people behind the politics.
🎙️ Join us for this week’s episode of Inside the Arthouse, where we talk with Nathaniel Lezra about Roads of Fire, the ethics of documentary storytelling, and what it means to find freedom on uncertain ground.

October 15, 2025 The Art of Creative Risk & The Story Behind Köln ’75
KOLN '75 with Director Ido Fluk on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE
Keith Jarrett’s The Köln Concert is the best-selling solo album in jazz history — a live recording of his extraordinary January 24, 1975, performance at the Cologne Opera House. Earlier this year, the album was inducted into the Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry, cementing its place as one of the most iconic moments in modern music.
In KÖLN 75, filmmaker Ido Fluk turns the familiar music-biopic formula on its head, reframing the story through the eyes of Vera Brandes, the 18-year-old promoter who made the concert happen. With a spirit that owes more to punk rock than free jazz, Brandes is brought vividly to life by Mala Emde, while John Magaro delivers a mesmerizing portrayal of the mercurial Jarrett.
You don’t have to be a jazz aficionado to love this film. KÖLN 75 is a vibrant, unconventional look at creativity, youth, and artistic risk — and anyone who appreciates original arthouse cinema will find something to connect with here.
Join us for our conversation with filmmaker Ido Fluk, on Inside the Arthouse — starting now.

October 08, 2025 Inside ‘The Man Who Saves the World?’ Gabe Polsky on Truth, Illusion & A Mission!
THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD? with Director Gabe Polsky
One has to wonder what Miguel de Cervantes would make of Patrick McCullum.
As we meet Patrick at the start of Gabe Polsky’s new documentary, THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD?, we aren’t quite sure what to make of him — and, frankly, neither is the filmmaker.
Is Patrick, a self-proclaimed healer and mystic, truly destined to fulfill a prophecy and bring unity and protection to the Indigenous people of the Amazon?
Or, like the hero of Cervantes’s Don Quixote, is he a dreamer tilting at windmills?
With Polsky as our modern-day Sancho Panza — and a question mark hanging boldly at the end of the film’s title — we’re invited to question what it truly means to “save the world.”
By the nature of the word, we’ve come to expect that documentaries reveal truth and certainty.
But THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD? reminds us that sometimes the greatest wisdom lies in embracing what we can’t fully know.
The film also features Dr. Jane Goodall, whose lifelong dedication to compassion, science, and the natural world continues to inspire generations.
In light of her recent passing, we honor her extraordinary life and the grace with which she shared her insight — in this film and throughout her remarkable journey.
🎥 Join hosts Greg Laemmle & Raphael Sbarge in conversation with filmmaker Gabe Polsky, as they explore the mystery, meaning, and creative process behind THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD? — on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now.

October 02, 2025 The Making of a Masterpiece: Usual Suspects with producer Ken Kokin
You’ve probably never heard of PUBLIC ACCESS — the 1993 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner — but you’ve almost certainly heard of Keyser Soze, the enigmatic villain at the heart of the 1995 Oscar-winning THE USUAL SUSPECTS. So what connects these two films?
On this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we sit down with Ken Kokin, the producer of both of these films, and discuss how the same creative team - director Bryan Singer, screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, editor/composer John Ottman, and producer Kokin - went from making an obscure festival prize winner to creating one of the great mystery crime thrillers of all time.
Marking the 30th anniversary of THE USUAL SUSPECTS, this conversation is fun, candid, and illuminating: the origin of Keyser Soze, building the creative collaboration, the leap from festival buzz to Academy Award glory, and the producing lessons behind a legendary twist ending. If you love behind-the-scenes stories, neo-noir thrillers, or the making of cult classics, you’re in the right place.
Join us as we discuss one of our arthouse favorites, THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS, with producer Ken Kokin, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now.
