MUST SEE FILMS

On this episode I talk with fellow film channel Youtuber Patrick (H) Willems. We discuss how he started, his initial videos on youtube, his success, viral videos and future plans.

I loved this conversation. Adam has made a series of videos on Youtube called ‘The Art of Story’ and they are some of the best iv ever seen. Period. Not just because the production is so slick but because his knowledge of film and story and his ability to communicate that while giving solid examples makes it so easy to follow and learn. It was great to pick his brains for a while.

In this interview I talk with Daniel from Film Radar about all things Video Essays. We talk about the writing, editing and creating of videos, our experiences on Youtube and films that we love.

In this episode I answer lots of comments and audience questions. This ranges from favourite types of moments in films, to advice, to Youtube, to creating.

In this episode I talk about all the advice and practical steps iv been taking and found useful when trying to embed writing as a consistent practice in my life. I am open and honest about how difficult that has been and share my best practical tips.

These are my initial thoughts after watching the wonderfully weird Phantom Thread, created by the Master Paul Thomas Anderson.

In this episode I talk with R.D Womack about his debut feature film. This slow burn survivalist thriller is amazing and it was really useful for me to be able to pick his brains about the creative process and production behind this film. Enjoy!

In this Interview I sit down with Luiza from the Youtube channel ‘Art Regard.’ Iv really been enjoying her video essays and the mix between film, philosophy and art. If you enjoy the more in-depth and deeper analysis, you enjoy her videos!

This Interview speaks with the Author of a book about the day-to-day life of Stanley Kubrick. Being able to ask Filippo questions and hear the process of creating this book was fascinating. ‘Stanley Kubrick and Me: 30 years at his side’ is the best book Iv ever came across for understanding how this man worked in his life, not to mention how hard he worked and how much he demanded of himself and others.

This book is a great insight into a very talented director and I’m very happy to share this behind the scenes with Filippo Ulivieri.
