What’s it like producing the first season of a podcast?

We reflect on the wild ride we’ve been on bringing this Oklahoma film and television podcast to listeners across the globe. We share our successes and even some mishaps we’ve had along the way.

With special appearances from Dana Tiger & Loren Walters from the Oscar-qualifying doc ‘Tiger,’ actor Wil Wilson, the Evel Midget and the “Lost Ladies Who Lunch” footage featuring actors Mel Fry, Barbie Bailey and Thesa Loving. PLUS some special words for our fallen comrade who joined us at the table and made movie magic with us in Fool’s Gold: actor Alan Barnes Netherton.

Bask, reminisce, discover in this season closer of the Sittin’ With the Sosk podcast!

PJ and the boys go to summer camp in this episode of SWTS. We explore the benefits and fun of summer film camps through interviews and interactions at the Circle Cinema Film Fest.

Join us on this unique episode with guests like Tamecca Rogers, Chuck Price, Yelena Krivosheyeva and more as we learn what drove them to mentor the youth of Oklahoma in film making.

We had the vintage Streamliner RV, our mobile studio, parked outside the 2025 Circle Cinema Film Festival (CCFF) and PJ invited Oklahoma film makers, writers and community leaders in for conversations.

No table, all Sosk… and a whole lot of guests.

PJ got a few moments to talk to festival director Kerry Wiens about the festival, film selections and the historic cinema located in Tulsa’s Kendall-Whittier district.

Circle Cinema’s Bailey Hawkins fills us in on the culture of this non-profit theater, which celebrates local film makers.

Director of Photography, Blake Nolan Brown, returns. He and PJ talk about film production and share updates on their narrative short, ‘Becoming Harry.’

We were also joined by Heather Miller and Emily Shireman, subjects in the documentary ‘Susan,’ directed by Russ Kirkpatrick. ‘Susan’ is about their mother coming to terms with a form of dementia. We get into what that was like.

Retired commercial director and cinematographer Chuck Price stopped by to share a tale from his storied past.

Young creative team, director Lucas Jackson and actor Griffin Edge, tell us about collaborating on ‘Self Reflecting,’ their indy narrative short that screened in the CCFF local block. It features a high schooler, played by Griffin, experiencing a breakdown while confronting another form of himself in the mirror.

Screen writer Michael Wright and PJ discuss writer’s workshops and potential upcoming collaborations... plus, we hear how Michael got himself into the right room in the NYC acting scene.

Tamecca Rogers also came by the RV to tell us about her new annual film camp, which recently concluded with her middle school students showing at CCFF. She also shares a glimpse into her journey to leadership in the Oklahoma film community.

Young, independent film maker Tanner Ray also sat with us to share news about his two festival-screened documentary films, ‘Connecting the Dots’ and ‘An Oklahoma Summer’. He’s got a third in the works called ‘Love You, Bye’, in which he will explore themes evoked in the second documentary film, but as a narrative work.

Soren Viuf and Yelena Krivosheyeva, of StormFront Studios, gave us the deets on their LA-to-OK relocation, their new studio and their work as mentors in Tamecca’s film camp.

We also went straight to the source- Circle Cinema co-founder Clark Wiens- who shares his inspiration for reviving the movie theater. The building spent many years boarded up, marquee unattended, before Clark and others worked together to create what is now one of the best community-oriented film houses in the U.S.

Thank you to Circle Cinema’s hard-working staff and volunteers for making it what it is. Thank you for welcoming us in to be a part of Circle Cinema Film Festival 2025.

Hope you enjoy the show!

This week we are joined by a dynamic duo of creatives that have been a team since their moms were packing their lunches: Adam Hampton and Jason Alexander. The two Oklahomans, along with Kenny Pitts, Chad “Beard” Matthews and Jason Garner, produce independent films under the name Outsiders Productions. They grew up in rural Dale, OK, where most futures were pegged on wheat prices rather than film making.

They talk about how they developed together through what Hampton calls “collaborative competitiveness.” Adam and Jason started their production company in college as they realized how their skills complemented each other, bringing together the creative and the technical. “You gotta have people you can trust,” says Adam.

Some folks might wonder, “Why not work out of LA or New York?” Hampton shares he wanted to remain connected to his roots. “I didn’t want to go somewhere else to try to tell stories. I wanted to tell stories here, about here.” So they began making movies with available light, casting family and friends and using no-cost locations.

Hampton was recently recognized as a trailblazer at the 2025 Bare Bones Film Festival. He also received the Film Icon Award at deadCenter Film Festival 2025. His most recent work includes a role in the 2025 fantasy thriller Jurassic Games: Extinction.

Obsessed with movies at an early age, Mads felt compelled to make a mark on film making through sound.

Mads made a path from an early dream of being a music supervisor to working on location sound on Reservation Dogs with the Emmy-nominated Royce Sharp.

In this episode of Sittin’ with the Sosk, PJ and Mads candidly talk mentorship, managing a career path and more. They also discuss working together on ‘Becoming Harry’ (2025), which is currently garnering laurels on the indie festival circuit, and features our very own PJ Sosko with Wil Wilson.

The short was directed by Rodney Smith and shot by Blake Nolan Brown. Check out Blake’s episode here. Check out Rodney’s episode here.
