The Great Escape Breakout

Christmas is coming! To celebrate, join Mark, Chrissey and Rich as they chat about what they’d put on their indie Christmas lists, chat about their favourite traditions and what they’re looking forward to in the Winter break.

We’re back! And what better way to start this new season of the Breakout podcast with a chat about what we’ve been up to… which veers wildly into the realm of why comic book films struggle with story and the concept of the ‘poop sandwich’. Oh well.

As the last video recorder rolls off the production line, we get all sentimental about the humble VHS videotape – sharing our memories, our histories and, for some people, distaste towards the 40-year old format.

Both ‘A Drop To Drink’ and the stop motion adventures of Pony will be online soon.

The TGE crew get chatting on the mashing together of science fiction and fantasy. What is it? Why do people do it? Does it more palatable for the general public? And why isn’t Terminator 2 an example of it?

Squishy, the giant squid that Chrissey made has kind of become our unofficial mascot.

The TGE crew get nostalgic for 90s cinema as they discuss their earliest memories of going to the cinema, and remember their favourite cinema experiences. Nowadays the cinema experience is very different to how it was twenty years ago, but is it better? Do cinemas have the right idea with the new fad for multi element pricing, or should they just be focusing on keeping the screens clean?

From Netflix to Amazon Kindle Unlimited, more and more people are getting their media fix through the ever expanding world of digital content subscription services. But will on-demand services be the end of traditional entertainment?

In this episode of Breakout, we discuss the benefits and pitfalls of ‘fixing it in post’, or vowing to correct an issue during the production of a film in the post-production phase. Is it a phrase that should always be avoided, or are there some merits to it?

Since recording this podcast, it has been revealed that the scene, which previously was thought never filmed, has turned up on a VHS workprint copy of the film, and will be released as part of Arrow Film’s new Hellraiser boxset.

In this episode of Breakout, actress Marley Hamilton joins us for a chat about the pros and cons of unpaid work. We share experiences and observations from the world of indie film, about the attitudes to free work from both sides of the fence; production company and freelancer. Should we all be refusing to work for free?
