Projecting Film

Writer/director Adam Keleman joins us to discuss his the inspiration, experience on the festival cicuit, and the reactions of the Mary Kay sales force to his new film EASY LIVING. This inspires us to look back at two other films about people hustling to sale others on a dream; be it a life of crime in Wes Anderson's debut feature BOTTLE ROCKET or Kevin Spacey's failed attempt to sell lubricants and many filmgoers on the great gem THE BIG KAHUNA.

Along the way we come to terms with the fact that one of the hosts of this show has earned the role of podcast fluffer.

For our second episode we discuss new release NOBODY'S WATCHING from Argentinian filmmaker Julia Solomonoff. This story of purposeful isolation which complicates creative pursuits not only describes our feeling of starting a new movie podcast after some minor success with a previous show but also inspires just a bit less navelgazing with a discussion on some previous like-minded films. In both Terry Zwigoff's GHOST WORLD and Chrick Rock's TOP FIVE we find lead characters passionate about art but who approach these endeavors with the precision and grace of a sledgehammer. A teenage girl who has just graduated (almost) high school struggles with moving on while still making discoveries in her small town meets a succesfull New York comedian adjusting to being engaged with and commenting on the world sober. Join us as we continue to adjust to this new podcast as we attempt to engage you with current independent cinema by referencing as many movies as we can in 40 minutes!

GUEST: Dave Hart of Pop Culture Case Study stops by to give his reaction and projected film to the trailer for NOBODY'S WATCHING. Hint: it's just an excuse to think of Michael Fassbender in the buff.

On the first episode of PROJECTING FILM we open up Dan Bush's THE VAULT, a new film starring James Franco and Francesca Eastwood about a bank heist gone wrong. If that sounds familiar, well... trust us when we say that this film has a twist. And if you can't trust your hosts Chris Maynard and Michael Denniston (why would you?), then trust our guest Margo D. from the BOOK VS. MOVIE podcast who gives us her reaction to this new film that she was previously unaware of. Hopefully you share her enthusiasm as we attempt to use two older films to illuminate why you should check out some of the best that indie film has to offer.

ALSO we decide on Chris' new Twitter handle of MrVanilla, but as of yet Mike is undecided on rebranding. Send us your suggestions here:
