Ahhh... I'm always thankful for the time my guests give me to discuss their work and life. It's always a treat to be able to have someone spend their time talking about what makes them tick and what drives their world. But, this discussion with Louise Bertoncini, director of the short film The Throwback, is a genuine delight.

Louise's short was made was funded through the City of Vincent Film Project, an initiative run in partnership with Revelation Film Festival where an emerging filmmaker is given $5,000 to make a short film about a story within the City of Vincent. It's a film about a video store in Mt Hawthorn, Network Video, that is sadly no longer open, but that doesn't stop the short film being one full of hope and optimism, a celebration of community and film culture.

I wrote about The Throwback at length in this article here, but I hope this discussion helps instil some hope in your heart for the future, and hopefully acts as a siren song for coming together once this whole upheaval settles down.

Matt Hale is a hypnotist who has performed at Fringe Festivals around the world and for corporate events providing guidance and support. While in this enforced reprieve that we all find ourselves in, Matt has released some helpful tools on his website for people struggling with isolation and mental health problems in this Covid-19 era.

Andrew caught up with Matt to ask about hypnotism and the apprehension that some may have when it come to hypnotism, as well as discussing what can help with easing minds in this time of need, as well as helping out with relationships too.

This is a worthwhile discussion to dive into, finding out about how best to approach the issues of our mind, and what actions we can take to tackle problems like anxiety and being around our partners 24/7.

We'd love to hear from YOU about what mindfulness techniques you have been using to help out with your mind in this period of isolation. What music do you listen to to help you meditate? And what tips do you have for those living with their partners in this time of isolation?

Find the useful resources on his website here for anxiety and here for relationships.

Find more info about Matt at his Facebook page too.

Robbie Studsor is an Aussie filmmaker who made an indie film called Burning Kiss. In this discussion with Andrew, Robbie talks about the indie film making process, as well as talking about the need for an understanding of film history and appreciation of different genres.

Burning Kiss is a visual thrill of a film, one that is purely unique in the landscape of Aussie indie films. It contains one heck of an iconic shot of a great white shark in a swimming pool, alongside a wealth of other imagery that's hard to shake.

Check out Burning Kiss via Filmink Presents.
