In the first of our newest series, “The Making of Oppenheimer”, I spoke to the head of prosthetic department and makeup department head Luisa Abel and hair department head Jaime Leigh McIntosh.

Abel is a Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Awards nominee for Best Contemporary Makeup - Feature Films for Interstellar. McIntosh is an Emmy nominee for The First Lady and a Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Awards Winner for Best Contemporary Hair Styling - Feature-Length Motion Picture for Bombshell. 

On this episode, I spoke to the writer and director of Passages, IRA SACHS.

Passages, one of my favorite films of 2023, stars Franz Rogowski, Ben Whishaw and Adèle Exarchopoulos

It’s a movie that I’m relishing as an adult, and yearned for as a kid. I can imagine some queer teenager telling their mom they were seeing the latest latest summer blockbuster, only to actually be sneaking into this hyper-fluid world. At least… that’s what I would have done.

I got to talk to Sachs about that exact feeling while watching Passages, an honor and privilege I won’t soon forget.

Other films from Sachs include Frankie, Little Men (Grand Prix, 2016 Deauville American Film Festival), Love is Strange, Keep the Lights On (Teddy Award, 2012 Berlinale), Forty Shades of Blue (Dramatic Grand Jury Prize, 2005 Sundance) and his first feature, The Delta.

On this episode, I spoke to the composer of The Holdovers, Mark Orton!

He rejoins Alexander Payne after scoring the Academy Award-nominated film Nebraska. 

The Holdovers stars Paul Giamatti, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Dominic Sessa.

The critically acclaimed film showcases a 70s themed score using vintage instruments and techniques reflecting Orton’s authentic approach to music and captures the true essence of the story. Available digitally NOW! 

The Holdovers Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features classic songs by The Allman Brothers Band, The Temptations, The Swingle Singers and more. This compilation album was curated by director Alexander Payne with custom artwork by Nathan Carlson. The vinyl is available for pre-order now. 

On this episode, I spoke to makeup department head for Killers of the Flower Moon, Thomas Nellen.

Nellen is a Critics Choice Award nominee for True Grit.

He is also a Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Award winner for The Patriot and a nominee for Seabiscuit.

On this episode, I spoke to production sound mixer for Killers of the Flower Moon, Mark Ulano. 

In 1998, Ulano won the Oscar for Best Sound for his work on Titanic. 

He was also nominated for a BAFTA and won a Cinema Audio Society Award for the film. 

Since then, Ulano has been nominated for 3 more Oscars (Inglorious Bastards, Ad Astra and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), 2 more BAFTAs (Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Django Unchained), and 4 more C.A.S. Awards (Iron Man, Super 8, The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood). 

Ulano is a titan in the sound space. Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Martin Scorsese, is out tomorrow. 

On this episode, I spoke to producer Howard Gertler about his prolific career. 

Gertler is a 2x Oscar nominee for his work on How to Survive a Plague and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. 

In 2007, Gertler won the Producers Award for the Film Independent Spirit Awards.

For How to Survive a Plague, Gertler won a Gotham Award for Best Documentary and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. 

For All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, Gertler was nominated for BAFTA Film Award for Best Documentary, a Cinema Eye Honors Award for Nonfiction Feature, a Gotham Award for Best Documentary, and a British Independent Film Award for Best International Independent Film. He won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary for the Laura Poitras directed project. 

His latest project is called Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked a Queer New York, where he was a writer and executive producer.
