Were You Still Talking?

Today on the Podcast I share a lot of laughs and good advice with Paul Bright. Writer/producer/director/editor of 11 feature films who started his career as a union actor before graduating from Hollywood High School. He was the founding artistic director of a repertory theater in the Austin, Texas area and realized more people would see a single movie than an entire season of theater. He resigned from producing stage plays to direct feature films in 2005 and his movies are distributed around the world, both legally and illegally. Two films are in post-production, nine films are streaming online on many different platforms. They are all linked through

paulbrightfilms.com

He moved to Oregon from New York in 2012 and made a series of TV commercials and public service announcements with Joel Albrecht, Kate Young and Marci Long, along with other video production work in Eugene for companies and non-profit organizations. Now he's performing on stage in Portland theater productions, just finishing the Portland Actors Ensemble production of Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT. He is launching a new theater troupe, with former Eugene actor Jonas Israel, called Oregon Yiddish! (OY!) staging Yiddish plays in Portland in 2020.

He has a course on Udemy.com (u-DEM-ee), which is a learning platform, on independent filmmaking, with nearly 1400 students representing 85 countries, and translated into 24 languages. Less than half the students live in the United States. He's currently creating another course for Udemy on screenwriting.

He has a comedic video commentary series that skewers life's hypocrisies, called Paul's Tub Talks.

Previous seasons are streaming on YouTube. The new season is available through patreon.com/paulbrightfilms

His passion is for filmmaking and telling unique stories with a distinct perspective.

After completing and releasing CROSSING SHAKY GROUND and STARS IN HIS EYES, Paul's next feature film will be a sci-fi time travel comedy filming in Portland.

Tonight's guest is Brian Haimbach, writer, actor, and head of the theater program at Lane Community College.

Brian and I talked a little about acting, a little about directing, a little about the theater program at LCC, a little about travel and a bit about his one man show "How to be a Sissy" that he was able to perform at Edinburgh Festival Fringe thanks to a grant from Oregon Arts Commission.

There was also some mention of beards and how handsome Brian's husband is.

Today in the castle I have Jeff Tobey. We had a fun time talking on subjects from "tomato farming" to dentists with large hands, to "scrapping" in Millersburg Missouri, to what goes on in the neighborhood, to Oregon Ducks! Good stuff.

This time I have Bruce Burchmore on the phone. Bruce is a Pilates instructor in Los Angeles. He is also writer, producer, director of a documentary called Harpsichordia. From his website: Bruce Burchmore developed an enduring fascination of the harpsichord repertoire as a graduate student in musicology and early plucked strings performance. His main interest was the 17th- and early 18th-century French repertoires for lute, theorbo and Baroque guitar, and quickly found that a strong knowledge of the contemporary harpsichord schools augmented his expertise in French Baroque music in general. He has several published articles in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2nd. ed.), and is in the process of finalizing a study of the Saizenay manuscripts for solo lute and theorbo, accompanied by a complete modern edition with critical apparatus.

We talk about the adventures of making a documentary and so much more.

Wow, episode 13 recorded on the 13! Now we're talking. This time it's a conversation with a dear friend of mine, Jon Griffin, who I have known for 20 years? He is an audio engineer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, Cinematographer, singing bowl energy healer, all around lovely person, and some other things I'm sure I forgot. We talk about people, places, arts, food, culture, putting positive energy in the world, the connection we all share on the planet and quite possibly getting away from the pedestrian level of consciousness.

We also talk a little about micro dosing and Jim Fadiman, the effects of no sleep, and how we ended up on the podcast on this day at this moment.

This episode goes deeper than most.

We also highly recommend 1960 Cocina on 18th and Willamette in Eugene, OR, USA!

Wait, THIS is the best podcast ever! On this episode my biggest guest to date: Jeff Johnston. One of the nicest humans on the planet and host/associate producer/camera operator/editor etc. for "Rollin On TV" (rollinontv.com) one of the largest syndicated TV shows about RV life.

I ask him how he does his segments for the show, what are some of his favorite adventures, about his work in the local production scene, and does he even own an RV?

We are both on AKG Perception 200's.

What's it all about? It's about people, places, arts, food, culture, putting positive energy in the world, how all of us have something to say or maybe we don't, life, death, drugs, exercise (or exorcise, if you spell it wrong!), laziness, motivation, breathing! The connection we all share on the planet and quite possibly getting away from the pedestrian level of consciousness.

We are both on AKG Perception 200's. One of them has a hum that I hope I mostly eliminated in mix. I think it's a grounding problem. Not sure how to fix.
