I ambush long time friend, director of photography, Thais Castralli at the Bob's Big Boy in Bubank, California where she talks to me about her life and career. Her longtime relationship with film began in Sao Paolo, Brazil developing an appreciation for classic Hollwood films which comes full circle as she recently lensed a 35mm Panavision film shoot about Tinsel Town in the 20's.

Welcome long time filmmaker Anthony Booth. A poet visualist, Anthony ties cinematic images with the old school Hollywood sensibilties. His love of analog is prevalent in all the art he makes.

Fairly new minted 16mm film director Tyler Del Cont sits with me in the Ashram to discuss his newest short "8 Portraits" A off-the-cuff meta dissection of the efforts of making a film whilst hearing interviews from other creatives. We discuss his journey to loving cinema on film. And some of his influences. And his determination now to make everything he holds personal on film.

Fellow Ohioan and film shooter Jake L. Mitchell and I have a conversation about his start and his new feature shot on super16, the magically sublime "Riddle Of Fire"

Long time friend and ASCF ambassador Jessi Spickard joins us in the Ashram to talk about her journey from actress to director, coming off her very first film shot on 35mm. Her path will inspire others to make aspirations a reality.

The remarkably talented Dajiana Huang joins us in the Ashram and talks about fighting for film, adventures in craft, and advice on people wanting to start in celluloid. A great friend to film!

Legendary steadicam camera operator Elizabeth Ziegler worked on massive shows like "Ghost" "Magnolia" "A Nightmare On Elm Street" "Tombstone" and "Wayne's World" but she is best known, amongst us film nerds, as the operator on director Stanley Kubrick's last film "Eyes Wide Shut" very grateful for the time spent going down memory lane.
