  • Ep. 36 – Rain, Wind, Fire and Crashing Cars
    When it comes to big budget movies that combine pyrotechnics, car chases, scattering crowds or any combination there of, both the Special Effects Department and Stunt Department need to combine forces to make it all work on camera, while keeping everyone involved safe. In my final episode, I chat with Keith Campbell (stunts) and Craig "Tex" Barnett (Special Efx), about how they are able to create some of the most chaotic and eye-popping sequences from their work on Adam Sandler's most recent movie "Spaceman of Bohemia" to "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Transformers.

  • Ep.32 - Therapy For Creatives

    We all can use therapy these days and if you're a creative/artist, perhaps you can use a professional who understands and even has some experience your field. I chat with two NYC-based therapists to mine the depths of this type of specialization.

  • Ep.30 - P.O.C. In The Industry (Part 1)

    If 2020 didn't deliver us enough drama with the pandemic and lockdown, along came nationwide protests against police brutality and racism.

    With this as the backdrop, I recorded an interview back in June over Zoom with fellow freelancers Derek Stalley and Brian De La Cruz about the state of things socially. They open up about their experiences as people of color working in film/television as well as in their day to day personal lives.

    We further touch upon diversity and minority representation on screen and behind the camera. This is a two-part episode.

  • Ep.29 - Garage Theater

    There has always existed the independent factions of any artistic mediums whether it be cinema, music, or fine arts. But does theater has have it's own established independent scene?

    Theater guys like Michael Pagano and his mentor and former high school teacher Dave Coonan weigh in as they have carved out their own scene out on Long Island.

    According to them, their approach parallels garage and punk rock bands in philosophy. They follow their rules when it comes to producing, writing, casting, set building, self-funding, and self-promoting these theater pieces. Adding to the mix is the raw, edgy, sometimes shocking, sometimes dark bite associated with their storytelling and you can see why the term "garage theater" is totally appropriate.
