This week we were joined by cinematographer Matthias Koenigswieser. He joined us to talk about his work as the DP on the film "Christopher Robin." The film was shot with a blend of 65mm, 35mm, and digital to craft the wonder and natural beauty of the Hundred Acre Woods. Listen in to hear how he did this, his work with CGI and the care he took with these characters that mean so much to us all.

Christopher Robin is in theaters now!

Ed and Will have joined us to talk about their work in the Super 8 film project, Straight 8. Utilizing one cartridge of super 8 film, participants are tasked with shooting a film short without the ability to edit the final product. The exposed film is sent directly to the judges without a chance to look at it beforehand. We talk about how this project came together, why it's been so successful and how you can get involved.
