Delil Baran and Dylan Grunn join us spontaneously while visiting Indianapolis for the world premier of their movie, "Whelm."

Arriving with their producer/ director/ writer Skyler Lawson (our immediately preceding interview), they chose to share about their craft, "living in the present," dealing with a persistently unknown future, and about their personal lives and studies.   

Skyler Lawson released his first feature-length film, Whelm, at The Heartland International Film Festival.  

In this compelling interview, he talks about raising money, motivating cast and crew, the charm of a movie set in 1933 in his home town, Wabash, Indiana, and his goals for future productions.  

Listeners will want to tune in to the next published interview with two of his actor/colleagues.  

Perhaps John Bloom may be called a second responder, one of thousands of Americans and hundreds of Hoosiers who voluntarily went to New York City to counsel persons suffering losses during 9-11.

John spent ten days there.  He carries memories and feelings to this day.  

Ryan Vaughn heads The Indiana Sports Corporation that provides services throughout the state, including "Exchange," a web site on which sports directors and others exchange information and locate resources.  Another service, "Sports Indiana," is an association of community sports agencies in many cities and towns, all interested in creating sporting opportunities locally.  

In Indianapolis, the corporation bids on major events, then manages those events.  

Indianapolis will inaugurate new service transportation in September, starting with a north/south route called the Red Line.

Bryan Luellen, Vice President of Public Affairs of IndyGo, tells all.  Parking, route selection, future routes, accessibility and more, are part of this timely conversation. 

Steve Spence of Indianapolis is president of The Society of American Magicians.  He also is a professional mediador, and active member of Kiwanis International.

The craft of magic as well as required skills and business issues are covered in this podcast.  

Kit Williams directs preparation and management of the stage.  He is the manager who makes sure that directors of sound, light, and  trucks to carry their equipment, are in the right place at the right time.

And here we learn about computer mice (mouses?) that direct robot lights and robot cameras, all from an invisible trailer behind the action.  The emergence of modern speakers that do not splash sound, but direct it, and the marvelous technology of roll up video screens are described here.

Phillip and his son operate Ramsey Pyrotechics in Frankfort, Indiana.

He started voluntarily shooting shows, but then he learned that The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra wanted safe fireworks displays for The Fourth of July.  From there, word of mouth led the company to produce more than 70 shows a year.

This conversation includes details of firework shell construction and launching.
