Gareth Evans - 'Havoc', 'The Raid' and 'Gangs of London' Director and writer on his process.

Welcome back to The Filmmakers Podcast, where we delve deep into the world of cinema with the artists who bring unforgettable stories to the screen. This week, your host, Giles Alderson, is beyond excited to welcome a true master of action and suspense, the phenomenal director Gareth Evans!

Gareth Evans isn't just a director; he's a cinematic force. He exploded onto the global stage with his groundbreaking martial arts epics: the bone-jarring and genre-redefining The Raid: Redemption, and its critically acclaimed, relentless sequel, The Raid 2. These films, with their breathtakingly brutal and intricately choreographed action sequences, have left an indelible mark on filmmaking worldwide, inspiring countless others. Beyond the Raid saga, Gareth also helmed the atmospheric and unsettling folk-horror Apostle for Netflix, showcasing his impressive range. Furthermore, his incredible work as a creator, writer, and director on the critically acclaimed and intensely visceral TV series Gangs of London has further solidified his reputation for crafting compelling narratives and delivering impactful action on any scale.

Now, Gareth returns to the big screen with his highly anticipated action-thriller, Havoc, featuring the immense talent of Tom Hardy. Hardy, a powerhouse performer known for his captivating and intense roles in films like Mad Max: Fury Road, The Dark Knight Rises, Inception, and Peaky Blinders, takes center stage in this gripping story. Joining Hardy in the stellar cast of Havoc are the incredibly talented Forest Whitaker (Oscar winner for The Last King of Scotland), Timothy Olyphant (known for his roles in Justified and Deadwood), Justin Cornwell (Training Day TV series), and Luis Guzmán (Boogie Nights, Narcos).

Join Dom Lenoir and Gareth for an in-depth conversation about the making of Havoc. They'll explore the collaborative process of working with a talent like Tom Hardy and the rest of the impressive cast, the evolution of Gareth's signature action choreography within a new narrative framework, the challenges and rewards of bringing such a high-stakes thriller to life, and his insights gained from his remarkable journey in film and television, including his groundbreaking work on Gangs of London. This is an absolute must-listen for anyone passionate about action cinema, the craft of directing, the art of performance, or the genius of Gareth Evans. Let's welcome the extraordinary Gareth Evans to The Filmmakers Podcast!"

HAVOC is OUT in CINEMAS now.

Richard Linklater & Glen Powell on hit movie 'Hit Man'

3 december 2024 | 48 min

The brilliant filmmaker Richard Linklater (Boyhood) and the uber talented Glen Powell (Any One But You) joins us to chat about their brilliant comedy movie Hit Man!

Richard Linklater and Glen Powell discuss how the movie came about. Why they wrote it together on spec and how they made it with Giles Alderson & Dom Lenoir.

From his debut feature "It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books" – a film he made with almost no budget, Richard Linklater kick started his career. Shot on Super 8, and literally drove around the country screening himself – He made the cult classic "Dazed and Confused," the romantic trilogy "Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset," and "Before Midnight," the animated rotoscope experiments of "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly," and the groundbreaking, 12-years-in-the-making "Boyhood," Linklater has consistently defied expectations and carved

his own path with a signature style that's both intimate and epic.

From his breakout role in "Scream Queens" to his

scene-stealing performance as Chad Radwell in "Everybody Wants Some!!" – Richard Linklater's ode to college life in the 80s – Glen Powell has been steadily building an impressive resume. He's charmed audiences in rom-coms like "Set It Up," and "Anyone But You" showcased his dramatic chops in the true-life war epic "Devotion," and, of course, soared to new heights as the cocky but ultimately heroic Hangman in "Top Gun: Maverick and very recently blew us away in the brilliant 'Twisters'.

Hit Man is out now on NETFLIX!

Making Fan-Favorite TV Series Fargo, The Big Door Prize and PEN15 with cinematographer Bella Gonzales

23 september 2024 | 64 min

We welcome onto today's show Bella Gonzales, an accomplished director of photography whose remarkable work spans across several prestigious series.

Bella is known for her exceptional contributions to episodic series such as FX's

Fargo, Apple TV+'s The Big Door Prize, and Hulu's PEN15.

Her unique vision and technical prowess have made her a standout talent in the industry, and her recent projects are a testament to her skill and creativity.

On the show, Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir chat with Bella about:

What lenses she uses, camera angles and working with different directors.

She talks about what light means to story and why should pick your battles in prep and on set.

We also dive into blocking, floor plans and not coming from a world of 'no'.

We talk Alien, the new TV show she has just finished working on and what is like being part of history and we dive deep into the making of Fargo.

For the new Apple TV+ series, Me, Bella was the sole director of photography for the pilot and all 10 episodes of this series, working closely with director Michael Dowse. Her role allowed her to set the show's visual tone, treating it with the care and precision of a feature film.

For Fargo Bella also previously worked on season 5 of Fargo, where she built on her previous contributions to the series and her work and relationship with showrunner, Noah Hawley. She lensed episodes 3&4 of the new series which is out now on Apple TV+ and stars Juno Temple and Jon Hamm.

She decides to leave, but a trailer suddenly arrives carrying Amaya (Dina Shihabi) and Andy (Ryan Corr), a vacationing couple from New York City seeking to save their troubled marriage. Ignoring the risks their presence will bring, Geena convinces Clyde to let them stay, a decision with dangerous consequences for them all.

Distribution, streaming platforms and filmmaking with director, producer and Tello owner Christin Baker

19 september 2022 | 69 min

Today, we’re back with a regular episode. And yet this episode couldn’t be any better as our host Giles Alderson welcomes producer/writer/director Christin Baker to the show. She is also the co-founder of the Emmy-nominated streaming platform Tello, which focuses on stories for the lesbian/queer community. Their 2017 series “Secs & EXECS” earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for Austin Powers actress Mindy Sterling. Also, in 2019, their series Riley Parra received two Emmy nominations for actresses Liz Vassey and Carolyn Ratteray.

The SVOD platform has a wide library of the best LGBTQ+ women's titles and thousands of paid subscribers. The majority of their million-dollar revenue goes back to filmmakers, enabling them to make more shows. Christin has been playing with video production and storytelling since she was 13 after her family got their first VHS camcorder.

In 2016, she was awarded Best Director at the London Raindance Film Festival for her work on Maybelle, a series that follows the story of a 35-year old gay woman in the south after the death of her mother.

Over the last four years, as an indie producer, she has made five features on SAG Ultra Low Budgets, but she believes the storytelling quality is as high as anything on Netflix.

In her conversation with Giles, Christin chats about:

finding investors
crowdfunding
turning a web series into a feature film
setting up her streaming platform Tello
making LGTBQ+ films
directing feature films
sales agents
predatory distributors
Cannes

Christin was very insightful about her process. This episode is an absolute masterclass in production and distribution – a must-hear for any filmmaker working in the independent world. So, sit back, relax and listen to our amazing chat with the fantastic Christin Baker.

22 augusti 2022 | 62 min

Today, our host Giles Alderson welcomes a very special person to the podcast: The man who greenlit his debut feature film, Yariv Lerner. Now, not only does Yariv run Nu Boyana Film Studios, the biggest film studio in Eastern Europe, but he is also the executive producer or producer of films like Hitman's Bodyguard (2017), Acts of Vengeance (2017), Hellboy – Call of Darkness (2019), The Dare (2019), Angel Has Fallen (2019), Rambo: Last Blood (2019), and Expend4bles (2023).

And he was so kind enough to sit down and talk about what it’s like to run a studio, what he wants from a writer or director, the difference between producing & exec producing, and what made him decide to make The Dare. He also discusses how to handle difficult situations on set, when to step in as a producer, but also when to step back. Lastly, he presents Film Forge, his new training program, which you can join today.

Masterclass in Cinematography with The Rookie’s Johanna Coelho

8 augusti 2022 | 63 min

We haven’t had one of these in a while. This is why we are absolutely delighted to welcome DOP Johanna Coelho to the show.

Johanna sat down with our hosts, Giles Alderson and Andrew Rodger, to tell you all about the cameras she uses, the lenses, the equipment, .. She talks about the difference between shooting a feature film vs a TV show, how she picks her crew, whether she keeps up with new tech, filter, grain, the balance of getting everything in camera or leaving something for post, as well as how she deals with difficult or misogynistic people on set.

And she discusses her work on The Rookie, her workflow, prepping for 4 cameras, how many days of prep and how many shooting days she had and how she maintained the look of the show while putting her own touch to it.

What are you waiting for, lovely listener? This is the masterclass you have been waiting for. So sit back, relax and listen to this week’s episode with the amazing Johanna Coelho.

THE ROOKIE Season 4 is out!

Starting over isn't easy, especially for John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of joining the LAPD. As their oldest rookie, he's met with skepticism from those who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.

How to make your (debut) Feature, going from Shorts to Music Videos to Features with Kate Dolan – Writer/Director of You Are Not My Mother

25 april 2022 | 57 min

Today, we welcome writer/director Kate Dolan to the show to tell us all about her highly successful and inspiring filmmaking journey that lead her to make her debut feature, You Are Not My Mother (2022).

Kate chats with our host, Giles Alderson, about how she started out as an art director and learned from others on set.

She also discusses how her debut feature You Are Not My Mother came about, her writing process, why the early inclusion of her 1st AD and her editor made her script better, and why it’s so important to build a relationship with your actors and your crew.

Kate is an absolute inspiration. You don’t want to miss this. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode with Kate Dolan.

15 februari 2022 | 63 min

Joining the show today is the producer of Blood Red Sky (2021), the most popular non-English speaking film on Netflix, Benjamin Munz. He is also known for films such as Polar (2019), Stung (2015), and the short film The Night Father Christmas Died, which was nominated for a Student Oscars.

He also discusses what makes a great producer, what he looks for in a director or screenwriter, and the ups and downs of being a producer. And of course, he talks all about his collaboration with Netflix.

This is the inspiring story of a film fan who started out in a comic bookstore and went on to produce one of Netflix’s most successful films. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s episode with Benjamin Munz.

You probably know him from films like The Lord of the Rings series, the X-Men series, Mr Holmes (2015), The Da Vinci Code (2006), Infinitum: Subject Unknown (2021) by Matt & Tori, and many, many more.

Giles, Tori and Matt sat down with Sir Ian at his wonderful home to dive deep into his long acting career: Ian talks about when his love for theatre and movies began, the difference between acting on stage vs in front of the camera, and whether he watches his films.

He also discusses what he’s looking for in a director, how he produced his film Richard III (1995), and his favourite and most challenging roles. He talks about the first film he has ever acted in that was never released, how you as filmmakers can approach him, and why it’s easier than ever to make a film.

This was incredible. We hope this conversation inspires you as much as it inspired us. Sit back, relax, enjoy this week’s episode with the legend that is Sir Ian McKellen.

JOE WRIGHT on Directing Cyrano (starring Peter Dinklage) and with Screenwriter Erica Schmidt

11 januari 2022 | 52 min

Today, Giles Alderson and co-host Dom Lenoir welcome not one but two amazing guests to this very special episode. First, they talk to the one and only Joe Wright! Yes, that’s right, Joe Wright, the director of films such as Pride & Prejudice (2005), Hanna (2011), Anna Karenina (2012), Darkest Hour (2017), and The Woman in the Window (2021). But today he’s here to talk about his latest film, Cyrano, starring Peter Dinklage, Haley Bennett, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and many more. He talks about how he gets great performances, the importance of rehearsals, what he’s looking for in an actor, working with the same crew and how he preps a movie.

And then, Giles and Dom had the pleasure of speaking to the screenwriter of Cyrano, Erica Schmidt. She has never written a screenplay before, but she has written a lot of plays. That is why she talks about her work and life as a playwriter, the challenges of turning a stage play into a film script, how the film came about, and she discusses what she learned from being on set.

It was a great pleasure talking to these brilliant minds. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s episode with Joe Wright & Erica Schmidt.

CYRANO will be released in February!

How it all started with a little short, how they financed the movie themselves in the beginning, and how they managed to bring on more and more people. They discuss what it was like to do all the paperwork for their first feature project, why hiring a lawyer is important, and what it takes to do a successful Crowdfunder.

They also talk about how they put all the footage together, where they got their archive footage from, and share all of the various worries that they had while working on this documentary for 8 years.

This is a true masterclass in making an indie documentary. And it was an absolute joy to chat with Will and Yemi. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s episode with Will Thorne and Yemi Bamiro.

ONE MAN AND HIS SHOES is out NOW!

It tells the story of the phenomenon of Air Jordan sneakers showing their social, cultural and racial significance and how ground-breaking marketing strategies created a multi-billion-dollar business.

27 september 2021 | 78 min

On today’s show, Giles Alderson and co-host Lucinda Rhodes Thakrar sit down with Alex Noyer, the writer and director of Sound of Violence, which premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in 2021.

Alex dives deep into Clubhouse of Horror, what the room is about, what it’s like to be a judge on the latest competition, and not just what you need to do to get your horror short script financed, but also how to make an ace short.

Coming from documentaries, he discusses how he made his first narrative short Conducter (2018), the importance of a one-line pitch, and how he turned his short into a feature.

Giles, Lucinda and Alex also talk about the importance of mental health on set, how to deal with overtime, why nerves are good, directing techniques, distribution, and why you need a good lawyer.

It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Alex. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s episode with Alex Noyer.

SOUND OF VIOLENCE is out NOW!

Alexis recovered her hearing during the brutal murder of her family when she was ten. The visceral experience awakened synesthetic abilities in her and started her on an orphaned path of self-discovery through the healing music of brutal violence.

We talk about how she went from making award-winning short films such as 'Rocket', 'Acoustic Kitty' and 'Set Adrift', to making her directorial debut 'Rose'. She mentions how she started from editing commercials, to editing shorts.

Jennifer talks about how she was inspired by a teacher, how she taught herself to edit and a great reason why you should make shorts or films.

She also discussed how restrictions are good in film-making and the importance of doing your homework. Why you shouldn't have too many expectations, how she got her agent and dealing with a million decisions.

Gripped by a violent, terrifying illness, Rose lives in seclusion with her husband, but the arrival of a stranger shatters the fragile refuge they have built.

The British film premiered at last year's BFI London Film Festival and received strong reviews. It was also nominated for the BIFA Raindance Discovery Award.

Sophie Rundle will next be seen in the sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders, which is currently filming. Most recently, Sophie was seen alongside George Clooney in his recent sci fi feature The Midnight Sky.

2 april 2021 | 109 min

We are delighted to bring to you our SPECIAL bumper episode on the Making of David Fincher’s BAFTA & OSCAR nominated ‘Mank’.

Come join us as we go behind the scenes on how to create movie magic. We start with Giles Alderson and Andrew Rodger having a chat with 'Mank' Cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt about going from Gaffer on Fincher’s Gone Girl to DoP on Mank and how he made the transition to make his debut feature film.

He talks pre production, how he works with Fincher especially during the repeated takes, what the process was to shooting in black and white and the camera they used.

Co host Phil Hawkins then joins Giles to chat to Make Up designer Gigi Williams about her process, the difference between shooting on digital vs. film. What she works on first how she collaborates with the HOD team and gives some brilliant Make Up tips.

We then chat to Production Designer and Art Director Donald Graham Burt AKA Don Burt about designing the film from preparation through the shooting. He explains why listening is so important in film-making, how he researches a project and how he created the 1930/s & 1940 style and look. And how you don’t have to appease to get ahead.

Finally we chat to Costume Designer Trish Summerville about how she created the look and feel of Mank through her costumes. She talks about working in teams, how to collaborate with actors to help create the characters and how to use colours and patterns to portray certain emotions!

Mank is available NOW on NETFLIX

Making Independent Genre Movies with Creep, Severance, Triangle and The Banishing director Christopher Smith

30 mars 2021 | 72 min

We are delighted to have legendary director Christopher Smith on this weeks episode. He has been a firm favorite of host Giles Alderson who has wanted him as guest since the start and finally he is here to talk about his latest gripping film The Banishing.

Joining Giles as co host is fellow director Christian James as they discuss Chris’ journey to becoming a filmmaker. His first brilliant film Creep and how he met producer Jason Newmark who has since been a team with him pretty much all his journey as a filmmaker.

We also chat about pitching and personality, what he has learned as a director and agents and managers. We discuss working on set, why it is important to create a great vibe for actors and crew and why sometimes you have to lay down the law!

In 2004 Christopher Smith wrote and directed the nasty shocker CREEP, putting Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) front and centre as a woman stuck in the tunnels of the London Underground, pursued by something you really wouldn’t want to meet in the dark. Run Franka, run!

Smith hit the ground running with his 2006 pitch-black horror comedy SEVERANCE, this was a brilliant mix of the horrifying and hilarious that had audiences howling in delight.

In 2009 Smith went out to sea for the thrilling TRIANGLE, with Melissa George (The Slap) trapped in a hellish time loop on an abandoned boat, pursued by a hooded figure with a bloody axe.

Smith’s hugely enjoyable BLACK DEATH (2010), set in 17th-century plague-ridden England, had a terrific lead performance from the ever-reliable Sean Bean (Possessor)

After forays into family comedies (Get Santa) and TV series (Alex Rider), Smith comes back to the horror genre this year, with THE BANISHING, a spine-chiller set in Britain’s most haunted house, Borley Rectory, during World War Two. Downton Abbey’s Jessica Brown Findlay is a young woman uncovering dark secrets in her new home.

THE BANISHING is released on digital platforms from 26th March and will stream on Shudder beginning 15th April.

How to make a Sky Original Feature with 'To Olivia' Director & Writer John Hay and Producer Donall McCusker

22 februari 2021 | 84 min

Giles Alderson sits down with Director and screenwriter John Hay & producer Donall McCusker to discuss their latest film 'To Olivia', now on Sky, which is the story of the tumultuous marriage between actress Patricia Neal and renowned writer Roald Dahl. It stars the fantastic Keeley Hawes and Hugh Bonneville and is a beautiful, heart warming , well made and brilliantly directed film.

Donall McCusker has produced films such as 'Falling for Figaro'. 'Division 9', 'Kajaki', 6 Days' and the 'Hurtlocker'. John Hay is the director and screenplay writer of 'To Olivia' but he's also directed 'There's Only One Jimmy Grimble', 'Lost Christmas', and some amazing TV work including 'Stig of the Dump', which was BAFTA awarded. They sit down with us to discuss how they made their latest feature To Olivia and what directing and producing tips could help benefit you.

We also chat about what makes a good line producer and how to close finance. Plus we learnt why you might want to film on widescreen format and what it's like working with child actors and how you have to treat it in an entirely different way.

We also dive deeper into why they decided to make this story on the legendary 'Roald Dahl' and how they got the finance to make the movie. They also talk about losing cast and how they deal with with replacing actors at the last minute, during pre-production.

We also get a little insight of their experience with working with Al Pacino, Katheryn Bigelow and Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz so make sure you listen closely as you really don't want to miss anything on this weeks podcast.

24 november 2020 | 74 min

Listen to our full talk at the American Film Market for earlier this month with regular hosts Giles Alderson and Ian Sharp joined by writer, director and producer Dan Mazer to discuss filmmaking on both an indie and studio level.

Dan talks about his start in the world of film through his writing for television with Sacha Baron Cohen on Da Ali G Show, how from there he got involved with writing and producing the features Ali G Indahouse, Borat and Bruno. Whilst continuing to write further features Bridget Jones’s Baby and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Dan has also directed I Give It a Year, Dirty Grandpa and the upcoming Home Alone - the latter of which was filmed during the current pandemic.

Ian and Giles compare their experience on the indie side with Dan’s studio work, discussing how they’ve each managed to get their respective projects off the ground, dealing with financiers and maintaining good relationships with studios, as well as fellow producers and directors.

Finally, Dan discusses the strategy of releasing Borat Subsequent Moviefilm on Amazon for on-demand viewing, why the decision was taken and how they used the timing of the global pandemic and the US election to their advantage.

Julie Delpy: Actor, Screenwriter & Director on filmmaking, acting and her latest feature 'My Zoe'

27 oktober 2020 | 59 min

Giles and Robbie are humbled to sit down and chat with the incredible tour de force that is Julie Delpy. Whilst many of us may know and love her from Richard Linklater’s the 'Before' series or her work with Kieslowski on the Three Colours trilogy, we also know her prolific directing career from her debut 'Looking for Jimmy' all the way up to her latest feature 'My Zoe'.

Julie talks frankly about her personal philosophy about film-making, her love of sci-fi and her directing process from writing to production to post - including how she made a name for herself at NYU by turning other students garbage footage into masterpieces in the edit suite.

We cover everything from collaborating with encouraging colleagues like Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater to navigating the nastier side of the film industry and dealing with industry sexism as a female actor making the route from acting to directing.

Finally, we discuss the practical nature of film-making, and how you can stay true to your own vision whilst adding others’ ideas into the mix in the hire wire art of directing.

This week’s sponsor is WeScreenplay

Our jury of studio execs, producers, agents, and writers are on the hunt for a script that’s just waiting to be turned into the next big movie. And these are people who can take a script and turn it into a film. They’ve done it before and they’re always looking for great writers to do it again.

Prizes

The WeScreenplay Features Contest is also giving away cash and prizes. The Grand Prize script will receive $1,000 cash prize and the top 3 scripts will receive WeScreenplay’s top-notch coverage.

But the best part about the WeScreenplay Features competition isn’t just the cash prizes and industry jury.

Every entry gets free script feedback!

What are you waiting for? Send your script into the WeScreenplay Feature Competition now and take the next step in your screenwriting career!

Submit your manuscript today! The REGULAR deadline ends on November 15th. Go to https://www.wescreenplay.com/feature for all the info you need.

Lorcan Finnegan 'Vivarium' - How to direct a social sci-fi thriller starring Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg

31 mars 2020 | 79 min

Chilling sci fi satire on this week's episode with an interview with Vivarium director Lorcan Finnegan, appropriately atmospheric for isolated viewing.

Giles and Robbie open the pod with news on the latest MakeYourFilm online summit event amid the lockdown, followed by Robbie's interview with the writer/director.

Lorcan discusses his roots in graphic design, beginnings in TV, commercials and webisodes before charting his route into film with award-winning short Foxes, which gave him the kudos to launce two features, his first film Without Name and the much longer gestating Vivarium, out now on demand.

For the more analytical we talk colour theory and set design, and for producers taking notes we talk finance, as Lorcan reveals the story of how the film came together from an impressive array of European funding bodies.

We also discuss casting the leads, Imogen and Jesse, and how folklore and parable play into the film's story.

How to Edit a Star Wars Movie with Rogue One and Monsters Editor Col Goudie with Phil Hawkins, Giles Alderson & Robbie McKane hosting.

19 augusti 2019 | 55 min

This week we sat down with wonderful editor Colin Goudie who regales us with his wonderful stories about editing the incredible Gareth Edwards film Monsters and Star Wars: Rogue One.

How both films differed in budget but yet were the same in terms of emotion and making sure the story is key.

Phil Hawkins tells us about his Star Wars fan film: Origins and how it took 3 years to make and why he wanted to make a fan film in the first place especially after having made 5 feature films in the past.

Listen to Phil Hawkins episode as a guest Ep 14

We talk about Colin Goudie's background, leaving school at 15, going to art college, learning 35mm B&W stills photography - Going to film school, learning to tell stories with individual still photos - Putting himself forward for jobs on student films, making himself useful - Breaking into the industry as a runner, getting hired by the BBC as an editing assistant.

We talk Colin's first meeting Gareth Edwards whilst working on BBC programming 'Atilla'. How he working on Monsters and the unusual film production style, entirely improvised, no script, 120 hours of rushes, a fitting challenge to even an experienced editor.

How to Make a Film On Your OWN with NO Crew! Surviving the Outback's director, producer, writer, editor & star Mike Atkinson AKA 'Outback Mike' joins Giles Alderson

5 augusti 2019 | 61 min

The adventure filmmaker Mike Atkinson joins us on the Filmmakers Podcast to chat how he went about making a feature film all on his own! with no crew and in the middle of nowhere! The extreme outdoors, photography and filming are his passion. This led him to start filming his own adventures. "When I watch TV and the internet, what I see doesn’t capture what it’s really like to be alone in the extreme outdoors. Nearly everyone you see is being followed by a film crew and it detracts from the realism of what could otherwise be something interesting that I’d like to watch!"

We chat how he avoided crocodiles, ate dog balls (not the ones you think), got permission form the aboriginal tribes, learnt film-making form this podcast and others as well as youtube, raised his own cash, bought his own equipment and planned for years to create a brilliant inspiring feature film that captures something no-one ever gets to see.

He talks how he packed everything into a rucksack, shot with drones and how he powered the batteries and his laptop as he went, let alone ate and drank while he tried to survive all teh while tracig the steps of two survivors from the past.

How he leaned how to edit and had to work out what certain phrases and techniques were and all the deliverables he had to produce and complete for the distributors so his film 'Surving the Outback' could be released.

29 juli 2019 | 53 min

This weeks guest is the writer, director, producer and editor David Tarleton who sits down with Giles Alderson to talk how he made his indie film Hunter.

We chat how to make a cross-genre film, dealing with investors, casting appropriate actors and working with them on set, allowing them to bring things to the table.

How he shot in RAW and came up with a unique look for a film in the grade. We discuss the trick to maintaining and building tension by restricting the audience to a single character viewpoint and withholding info to build suspense and should you call your film a vampire movie when their are vampires in it?

An award-winning producer, director and editor, David holds an M.F.A. in Cinema Television from the University of Southern California, studied filmmaking at New York University, acting at Northwestern University, and has a Bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies from the University of Virginia.

David has created programs for Sony Pictures, The Muppets, Syfy Channel, Walt Disney Pictures, 3Net, Fox, Comedy Central, Disney Channel, Tokyopop, Mattel, Universal, Warner Brothers, Baby Einstein, Showtime and more.

David is a producer and a director of the new 3D television series "Dark Secrets," on cable channel 3Net. He is executive producer, director and editor of the award-winning new media comedy series "Dorkumentary," starring Adria Dawn, and was editor of the Webby Award-winning Muppets series "Statler and Waldorf From The Balcony," for Disney. His breakthrough film as producer/director/editor, the gothic fairy-tale "Dinner," premiered at Slamdance, played on the SyFy Channel, and was released on DVD.

How to Make an Indie Feature when you are still in School with 'Soundtrack to Sixteen's Hillary and Anna Shakespeare. Giles Alderson & Robbie McKane host

23 juli 2019 | 57 min

Giles Alderson (The Dare) and producer/editor Robbie McKane sit down with the lovely and talented Shakespeare Sisters to chat how they made their micro budget indie films 'Soundtrack to Sixteen' and 'Much Ado' without ever having made a film before.

Now deep into the edit on their second film the girls regale us with their stories about how they roped their friends into making the film, how they chose to make the film last minute before Hilary went off to University and how they learned on te job by hiring great people around them.How they wrote the film between Anna school lessons and how they shot the movie in the school where so many of things in the film happened.

How they managed to get a crew together and how they cast the movie and even ended up in it themselves. How they worked out the shots and how to direct on set in a very organic way.

This should inspire any filmmakers out there that anyone can make a film even if you have no experience and make a cracking film in the process.

How To Make a Period World War II Movie for £80K with Fighter Jets and Aerial Battles with the team behind Indie Film Lancaster Skies

2 juli 2019 | 78 min

Get you FREE Shotlister App Just email [email protected] for your FREE copy! No catch.

This week we are joined by the team behind brilliant indie film Lancaster Skies. Giles Alderson (The Dare, World of Darkness) sits down with director Callum Burn, Producer Andy Burn, Cinematographer Sam Parsons and actor Kris Saddler to chat how they made their World War II epic

We talk about their backgrounds, how they became filmmakers and their journey to Lancaster Skies

We chat how what it is like working with your father and son on indie films. How Callum, Andy and Sam wrote the script together

We ask Andy what makes a good producer and why they shot Lancaster skies in 5 blocks and all for only £80k. How they built miniatures and the the inside of a spitfire to create the look they wanted .

We chat how they raised the investment money to make the film through any which way they could. How the budget limited then but also made them think out of the box.

How it is important that all filmmakers have to step up to be a film business and make the film to sell and how you can actually make money .

We chat with Kris about his acting thoughts and how It took four years to make the film and over that time they built up the fan base on social media and held open days to bring people into and believing in the project

And we find out that Callum has to redo all the sound with ADR and did the sound Foley in his bedroom which as you can imagine took forever

How to make Indie Films while holding down two jobs with screenwriter and director Stephanie McBain and Giles Alderson

25 juni 2019 | 72 min

This week Giles Alderson (The Dare, World of Darkness) is joined by screenwriter and director Stephanie McBain who talks about her journey into making her debut feature Roads, Trees and Honey Bees and how she raised the money on credit and worked two jobs while doing it.

We chat with the inspiring Stephanie about how she started off acting and moved to directing after switching courses and having to prep but not make a short as part of her course but after a chance conversation how her friend said she would produce it for her and she went out and actually made it.

We chat about how she writes about what she knows and her process behind it and how that led on to wanting to make her debut feature without waiting for something to happen. So she sacrificed nights out and worked two jobs while earning enough money to get it made and how it was so hard to write it after coming home from work

How to make FIVE feature films in 5 years with writer, producer and director Tom Paton

18 juni 2019 | 89 min

Giles Alderson (The Dare, World of Darkness) sits down with director, writer and producer Tom Paton to chat how he made his films, Pandorica, Redwood, Black Site, Stairs and G-Loc and how important it is to have a business head on as a filmmaker.

Ep Sponsored by The Tracking Board https://www.tracking-board.com/

On the podcast this week we chat with Tom Paton about how he went from a Club Rep in Cyprus to becoming a Filmmaker and how he started with no real knowledge of cameras or production. How he self taught himself film-making and learnt to edit and understand VFX and graphics because he has no choice. How he didn't want to make a short but a feature first and how he raised finance using his background in selling to secure investment . for his first feature - Pandorica, shot at night in outdoor locations - high sensitivity camera used, in combination with DIY space lights to shoot a post-apocalyptic forest setting.

How he pushed on after his first feature onto his second feature - Redwood, which was a bigger budget, vampire film set in eastern Europe and the lessons he learnt from first feature he carried over to second feature.

His third film Black Site, out later this year, is a back to his roots, lower budget, exploitation John Carpenter-esque horror thriller.

We discuss what actors look for in a director - and vice versa and producing your own work - and find good collaborators. We discuss his fourth film - Stairs and his 5th feature G-Lock which are both now in post

PLUS loads of advice for filmmakers new and old

How to go from a VFX Compositor to making two independent Sci-Fi Features & a Disney TV Series with director Hasraf 'Haz' Dulull

3 juni 2019 | 76 min

The wonderful and highly talented and fun director, writer and VFX superstar Hasraf 'Haz' Dulull sat down with Giles Alderson and Robbie McKane to chat how he went from VFX work on The Dark Knight to making his own films 'The Beyond' and '2036 Origin Unknown' and his TV show Fast Layne.

We chat about his star in video games making cut scene graphics in an autonomous self-starting role. How he moved into the VFX film industry - specialised in compositing (combining different VFX elements into the final film) and pioneered the use of Shake and Combustible applications

How he worked on studio films culmulating in The Dark Knight for Christopher Nolan where a custom version of Shake was used to accommodate the 5K IMAX film

How he worked on commercials in VFX - moved up the rungs to lead compositor then VFX supervisor and As VFX supervisor was able to get a good perspective of production - began to work as a 'shadow director' on some CG sequences in documentary work.

We discuss how he began working on short films and building his own team where he gathered attention for his shorts in Cannes, developed relationships with Paramount and Fox for screenwriting and developing projects.

How he put is own money he had planned to buy a house on the line for his first feature - The Beyond, based on his successful short Project Cronos.

Used caché from The Beyond to push his next feature '2036 Origin Unknown' over the line and then used both of those features to pitch for Fast Layne a VFX heavy Disney TV series

Jim Cummings - How he wrote, directed and starred in his brilliant debut feature film Thunder Road with Giles Alderson & Christian James

27 maj 2019 | 57 min

Jim Cummings joins Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Christian James (Fanged Up) to talk about his debut feature film Thunder Road.

Jim wrote, directed and starred in the film which was developed from his short film of the same name which won the grand Jury prize in Sundance.

He tells us about his journey from making shorts as a producer to doing it yourself, where the idea for Thunder Road came from and how he ended up the lead in his own short and subsequent feature film.

Thunder Road is a hilarious tragi-comedy which follows the life of Jim, a police officer on the verge of a mental breakdown following the death of his mother and the breakdown of his marriage. Thunder Road is released i the UK on Friday 31st May Having self-funded the film via Kickstarter, it’s a testament to independent film-making and is a real passion project for Jim. The film also has lots of interesting angles to explore such as how it has had the seal of approval from Bruce Springsteen whose song it is named after, how it deals with topical mental health including the stigma around men being able to show emotion and it’s comment on the current state of the American police force.

How to Make a Period Feature drama with James Kent director of The Aftermath starring Keira Knightley and Alexander Skarsgard

8 april 2019 | 64 min

Giles Alderson (The Dare) sits down with Film and TV director James Kent to chat his feature films Testament of Youth and The Aftermath

We start of by talking about Directors U.K. and how important and useful it is for filmmakers https://directors.uk.com/

The freedom in Documentary film-making that you can use in feature film or TV work as a director and when your in edit suite it is just you and the editor and you need to have got your coverage and material on set. With docs there is not often a story until you are in the edit

Making the leap from docs to TV and features. Working with actors. Respecting them. Working with young up and coming acting talent. And moving into directing features and how important rehearsal time is.

Making period drama The Aftermath. And how the actors have transformed into something else when in costume. A different character and they can come with pre-conceived ideas. Rehearsal can help over come this. And he gives some great Directing tips to work with actors on set.

Working with Will Smith on a Documentary. And watching Darren Aronofsky working was a education.

And shooting AMERICAN TV and the difference between U.K. TV.

Working with A list stars on The Aftermath with Keira Knightley, Jason Clarke and Alexander Skarsgard and feeling intimidated and shooting sex scenes

We chat Mother Father Son starring Billy Howle & Richard Gere which is OUT NOW on BBC2

Scott Mann on Directing 'Final Score' with Dave Bautista & Pierce Brosnan and working with and directing Robert DeNiro on Heist. Giles Alderson hosts

26 mars 2019 | 71 min

Giles Alderson sits down for a natter with director and producer Scott Mann to chat indie film-making working in the studio film system and dealing with on set nerves.

Filming in Bulgaria with The Tournament and the great film crews they have there.

We talk how he made a teaser trailer for the Tournament. Got offered a mil as soon as he got to Cannes to get it made but no guarantee he would direct it so he turned it down. People suddenly wanted the project but he wanted to direct. And even with offers on the table It still took two years and having to sign on the dole while he tried to get it made.

Then trying to close sales on the Tournament and getting Ving Rhames to agree to star in the film after having to wade into the sea in Cannes to get a better reception on his phone whilst doing so. Loosing finance during prep and not being able to leave the hotel as bills not paid!! And getting cash flow on a sheet of yellow paper.

We discuss getting star struck and dealing with the fear on set with actors and how Hugging Robert DeNiro changed his mindset

Working with Harvey Weinstein after The Tournament and possibly making a remake of Seven Samurai

The wonderful tale of when he talked to Robert DeNiro via Skype and going on to work on the script and directing Robert on set of Heist.

Making action movie Final Score and how it came together so quickly

Having no extras in the stadium where they filmed. Having a high above the line and a low below the line. Creating and setting up the action in films. Storyboarding for himself and making a film when you know the set is going to be torn down.

Ep 95 How to Make a No-Budget Indie Thriller and stay at No.1 in the Amazon charts for 6 Weeks with The Redeeming's director Brian Barnes and hosts Giles Alderson & Andrew Rodger

12 februari 2019 | 61 min

Director Brian Barnes sits down with Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Andrew Rodger (To Dream) to talk about his debut feature film The Redeeming which became a No.1 selling film on amazon for 6 weeks!

We talk how he made his indie film, what happened on set. How he had learnt so much from making corporate films and short films that prepared him for making The Redeeming.

We discuss how being an editor made a huge difference not only in shooting but in the post production stage as well.

How test screenings are a huge advantage to help make your film better and how marketing should be about the film and not the people who made it.

And how he gave batman Begins director Christopher Nolan his first job in film-making.

Ep 94 How to raise finance & get distribution for your indie film by cold calling with Nathan VonMinden director of The Challenger Disaster

5 februari 2019 | 66 min

Giles Alderson sits down with director and writer Nathan VonMinden to chat how he made his indie film The Challenger Disaster by raising finance and getting distribution himself .

They chat about how scary and wonderful it is to see your film on a big screen and how you can't hide the flaws when it's up there for all to see.

There are no set rules for filmmakers, you find your own path but you have to become a business person and how he phoned around and cold called people to raise the finance to make and distribute the film.

How shooting dialogue scenes is hard and you are never as good as your dailies or as bad as your first cut and how it takes a team to make a film.

This is a truly inspirational talk about how you can make your indie film happen and all props to Nathan for doing so.

How no one wanted to make Dog Soldiers but got a great producer on board . It took six years to make an eventually found a very surprising investor. How the shoot went and how he felt. Making a shot list and storyboard and then threw it all in the bin and why he doesn’t shot list now.

How he was inspired to write The Decent. But having two cave films coming out at the same time meant a change in release day and how an uncontrollable disaster in London can effect the first weeks cinema run

Ep 87 How to Make a feature in Six Days from a short with director & screenwriter Nicole Albarelli, DoP Andrew Rodger and Giles Alderson

18 december 2018 | 58 min

This week we chat to screenwriter and director Nicole Albarelli who's film To Dream is released today 18th December, about how she made the film in six days,

Making a short film first but loosing her cinematographer and 1stAD the day before shooting and bringing in our host and DoP Andrew Rodger at the last minute.

How she turned her 60 minutes short into a feature. Going to festivals, winning awards and then getting picked up by a distributor in Texas who wanted to release the film as a feature so they shot an extra day. Meaning they had made a feature film in 7 days in total. Shooting six or seven scenes a day in many locations made it a tough but very rewarding shoot

We discuss working with actors and giving them a background and having them on set in character all the time. Intimacy on set and blocking the actors so they could maximise on the natural light

working with Adam Deacon during his issues off set and how the lighting and the set design can bring something spectacular to something bleak.

Ep 86 How to make an indie horror Sci-Fi with Await Further Instructions director Johnny Kevorkian and producer Jack Tarling

11 december 2018 | 68 min

This week Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Christian James (Fanged Up) chat to director Johnny Kevorkian (The Disappeared) & producer (God's Own Country) Jack Tarling about creating creatures, reversing footage and camera tricks, marketing your film, keeping audiences engaged when the movie is set in one location and their new sci-fi horror Await Further Instructions.

Johnny Kevorkian, shooting anything he could, and later refining his craft studying film at University. After making a series of ambitious shorts, he directed, cowrote and co-produced his debut Horror feature ‘The Disappeared’ which won him awards and critical acclaim.

Jack Tarling has produced BAFTA nominated God's Own Country, London's Finest and Await Further Instructions. He runs Shudder Films

Await Further Instructions: It's Christmas Day and the Milgram family wake to find a mysterious black substance surrounding their house. Something monumental is clearly happening right outside their door, but what exactly - an industrial accident, a terrorist attack, nuclear war? Descending into terrified arguments, they turn on the television, desperate for any information. On screen a message glows ominously:'Stay Indoors and Await Further Instructions'. As the television exerts an evermore sinister grip, their paranoia escalates into bloody carnage.

How to Produce and Act in Indie Films with Craig Conway who talks new horror film Mara

30 oktober 2018 | 59 min

Producer and actor Craig Conway sits down for a filmmaking chin wag with director Giles Alderson.

Craig talks in depth about how we can create a new ethic for creatives. How the Filmmaking and Producing system in the UK needs changing and reforming so that cast and crews share the revenue not just the execs who are making a world of inflated money.

They talk about working with 'star names' and do they make a difference to the box office?

Craig talks about making his psychological horror film Broken directed by Sean Robert Smith, working at NuBoyana studios on Hellboy with director Neil Marshal who he has worked with 4 times and soon to be 5! and new horror film Mara. Which took TEN years to make!

How to survive in the business you need to find people around you who have transparency and trust. Finding the right people to work with. The right source of investment and making films with a social responsibility and be bold and say no if it doesn’t feel right. There is always a way to make your film.

Craig has starred in TV and films including: Our Friends in the North, Dog Soldiers, Vera Drake, The Decent, Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, Doomsday, Romans 12:20, The Tournament, Devil's Playground, Four, 7 Lives, Airbourne, Final Score, Hellboy and Mara.

He has produced the films Devil's Playground, Four, Estranged, Giantland, Gatecrash, South of Hopestreet and Broken

He has a successful career, a meticulously neat beachside apartment and a hairstyle with just the right amount of gel. He adores his girlfriend Sarah who’s about to move in when she returns from overseas. But Bernard’s pristine existence is turned upside down when Sarah confesses her holiday romance.

To salvage the relationship, Sarah insists they equal the playing field: Bernard should sleep with another woman.

A man who would never cheat is asked by the woman he loves to have sex with someone else to save their relationship — a compromise which may ultimately destroy them, as love becomes corroded by jealousy.

By pre-emptively forgiving him for an infidelity he hasn’t yet committed, does Sarah prove that she truly loves Bernard or is it a sign that she doesn’t actually love him at all?

Tom Malloy info

How he worked with Oliver Stone as exec on his first film Gravesend and how from there wanted to learn how to be a producer to make films that he could act in.

We discuss how important it is to have a publicist and how crowdfunders aren’t always the best route.

How Tom approached a high networth individual (HNI) and got them to invest in his first film the Attic. Investors want to be in the film business. It sounds cooler than bitcoin on the golf course

How you should always bring on producing partners you respect. If you can’t raise finance, partner with someone who can. Put strengths where your weakness are and how it gets easier to spot dodgy producers in the business the further you are along with your career.

Learning bot Tom and Giles had the same composer on their debut film with Mario Grigorov on the Attic and The Dare respectively.

Now Tom has moved into the distribution side of the business with Glass House distribution so he can guarantee x amount of returns no matter what.

How his new found footage horror Screamers got picked up by Epic pictures, Peace West and Dread Central

The best way to find investors “If the why is big enough the how is always possible”

How to Make a Period Indie Film with the team behind The Bromley Boys, Dean Fisher, Steve Kelly, TJ Herbert and host Giles Alderson

29 maj 2018 | 58 min

Filled full of wisdom and knowledge from experienced directors and producers who have been there and done that and the fact The Bromley Boys took seven years to get to the big screen explains the hard work and dedication that went into it.They debate about when to shout out that you are making films. Should you scream fromm ten rooftops or keep it under wraps ? When is the best time to say I am making a film.Wanting to prove yourself as a filmmaker. Do it as soon as possibleFor director Steve Kelly how looking so young when he first started at ITV was a detriment. You need to learn to tell a story. One of the great ways to do this is to learn to edit.They discuss how to not set your expectations too high on your first film and be realistic with what you can achieve and how you can only succeed by failing more than the person next to you.We learn how Dean quit acting because he knew he was a better producer and how short films are the best way to learn how to make feature films and If you haven’t got the skill-set to write yourself find writersHow making The Bromley Boys was a testament to how well they worked together as if you are still speaking after trying to make a project after 7 years then you have done something right.Getting the right team around you and collaborating well is vital. It should be a family and be happy to come to work.They also give us invaluable advice for raising funds for films.“You trip up once and the investor is out. They are looking for you to make a mistake” - Dean FisherThey also discuss how to make a period film and the tricks to making it work. So how can you make it work? Shoot it in a 70’s style? Have a great costume and make design and art department is so important. Also you can paint our satellite dishes. But you can shoot in most places in london then shoot big close ups with a shallow depth of field.Going for self distribution as got P&A spend on the Bromley Boys. Having the right strategy for the film. If they don’t get with a major studio they decided they should distribute this themselves. Make sure you get a theatrical booker and experts in poster deign and trailer producing and how word of mouth is huge.Why releasing a film yourself can be very worthwhile. Just get the best people around you. It's the same as when you are making the film And they go into detail about Marketing and selling your filmLinksTrailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnXhdQ3fa4EFilm Screenings and Website http://www.thebromleyboys.com/

HOW TO MAKE AN INDIEFILM AT SUNDANCE with Indie Film Hustle's Alex Ferrari

22 maj 2018 | 54 min

The Filmmakers Podcast meets the Indie Film Hustle !!Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Alex Ferrari (This Is Meg) chat together about making indie films, podcasting and how Alex made his latest film On The Corner of Ego and Desire at the Sundance Film Festival when the festival was in full swing right under the noses of the every day public and staff.We start at the beginning though and how Alex got started in film-making and his ups and downs before he finally made his first feature film This is Meg.

Alex discusses how being the problem as a first timer filmmaker/director and being the issue is one of the reasons why your film might not get made but sometimes it's good not to happen too early or he would have self imploded and destroyed himself with all that came with it.

Being so close before it gets taken away is brutal and devastating.

How he went after his dream and made This Is Meg. and wrote the Scriptment with the star of the film Jill-Michele Melean .

He decided to do what he preaches about and went out and made a movie. "Just do it. Find the resources you know and make it happen". and How he put it out on various platforms including Hulu.

People always think your first film has to be a breakthrough hit . It doesn’t. Just make a film and learn from your failings

Making On The Corner of Ego and Desire, a feature film at the Sundance Film Festival during the festival was a challenge but he made it happen. Getting the cast and crew together and making the ‘director’ role a female. Wanted to make a movie about trying to sell a movie at Sundance. A this is Spinal Tap for the movie makers

How people at teh festival were happy to help out. Managed to shoot in amazing places, Molly’s, outside nightclubs, on buses and Sundance head quarters without getting kicked out.

The only issue was the party scene they had at their own Sundance party were people were having too much fun to care about someone making a movie.

But Alex tells us how making the whole movie was like improvisation Jazz. It’s emotional and semi autobiographical

Distribution side of things . Going to see where the festivals takes it.

“Get out of your own way, stop being afraid and get out and do it. Don't wait for it to be perfect”

Fail as often as you can so you can get down to the work

You have to love this,

Ep 53 Part2 HOW TO MAKE AN INDIE CRIME THRILLER FILM & GET CAST ATTACHED

18 maj 2018 | 33 min

THE BENEFIT OF SHORT FILMS when MAKING FEATURE FILMS with Trish Rybarczyk & Sacha Bennett

15 maj 2018 | 44 min

The team behind ace action thriller Tango One, Trish Rybarczyk & Sacha Bennett sit down with Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Dan Richardson (Retribution) in Just Voices Studio to chat about how they made it.

Trish started out working on Scorsese's The Departed and American Gangster and Spiderman3. Got to see how a huge company worked on set. She wanted to learn the craft of filmmaking and not jump into it. So did loads of jobs in film to get the experience.

Sacha “Id still argue being on set, watching a film play out is the best film school”

How Sacha worked as an actor on Blackadder and the amazing learning experience he had from that. "Even if it’s you going out with some mates and an i-phone, by doing some acting you’ll become a much better director that way"

If you’ve been a runner and had to mop up the toilets you understand the vitals of that.

If you are making a short, just ask actors. They are always looking for work

After Sacha made Devilwood, the investors asked if he could make a feature for 150k, so he quickly went through the scripts he had and made it work with Tuesday his bank heist film

Getting his cast of John Simm, Kevin McNally and Ashley Walters.

How they made Tango One. Getting all the money from the investor and getting Universal on board. Only issue with that is having to wait behind the big releases to come out first and hoping yours is next. But hearing the universal theme on at the beg of your movie is incredible.

How adapting a book can be difficult and ho turning away from the book and changing the character can be very benificial. And changing the dialogue to fit. How they didn't want it to be a gangster film. Making Tango One more international and thriller esk and less London drug dealers .

It’s all about prep. If you want something done do it yourself.

Inspiration for Filmmakers - 'The Filmmakers Podcast Present' with Giles Alderson & Christian James

10 maj 2018 | 6 min

HOW TO TURN YOUR ROM-COM SHORT FILM INTO A FEATURE with MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH director Daniel Jerome Gill with hosts Giles Alderson & Christian James

8 maj 2018 | 55 min

Or how to go from being a Assistant Director to directing your own feature film. Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Christian James (Fanged Up) chat with director Daniel Jerome Gill about going from an AD on many big movies to taking Modern Life is Rubbish award winning short into a feature film.

After University and his gap year Daniel made a pact to make it in the film industry and sent 100s of emails our to productions companies asking for a job. He got a few responses but that is all he needed to start work as a runner

To get a AD job with need perseverance. First job taking rushes at end of night. Making Teas. Doing a few unpaid short films you will eventually meet somebody who can take your career to the next level.

First paid job on worst film ‘Sex Lives of the Potato Men’ then that team brought him in on Matthew Vaugn's Layer Cake.

Standing by monitor on Danny Boyle's Sunshine and he learnt loads. And then started make short films from the crew he had met. He made Modern Life is Rubbish as a short film with no intention of making a feature, He got camera kit for free, begged borrowed and stole. Amazing how many people will help you.

He tells us how he got actor Rafe Spall into that short film. "Fortune favours the bold and you have to brave and ask".

Learning while working as an AD from successful directors. The main lesson he learnt was planning. Plan your shots. But be able to adapt.

How to turn to short film into a feature.

After getting into the Cannes short film corner. Mapped it out with the writer Phillip Gawthorne. Then after the success of the short he got an agent (42 Management) who sent the feature off and Universal liked it. Eventually he attached producer Dom Norris who raised the remaining funding to match Universal. How having a sales agent on board helps your investor to think it is real.

He tells us while working as crowd AD on The Crown he got the call saying his feature was happening and he had to leave.

How he shot the feature in 55 locations in 5 weeks

How it is important to trim down scenes in the edit. If they didn’t move the story forward you have to loose it. Lost 20 mins.

Getting the incredible music/score and how he cast the names who are in his film.

This film has opened loads of doors. Signed with CAA in America.

Advice: Bang on people’s doors and make a movie or short.

Modern Life is Rubbish is on at Picture House cinema now and can be purchased on line.

NEW WINTER RIDGE TRAILER https://vimeo.com/267988

Natasha Marberger starts off by telling us that to get selected film entrants just need good stories.

Stars of Winter Ridge Hannah Waddingham and Michael McKell talk about getting into film for the right reasons their approach to scripts on what parts they get to play. How when acting try and lock in so you ignore the producing side of things. Some of the really good directors have been actors and that the least direction was from Robert Zemeckis

Producer and actor Andromeda Godfrey discusses finding someone you want to work with and make it happen. It can be a lonely business so find people you want to work with. Believe in your project and yourself.

"Producing is putting out fires. Or even better not letting the fire start in the first place"

We chat to the team behind the short film Stationary and how a good team that works together well is very important and the main issues of being tight for time. Know your project well and submit to the right festivals. Being realistic makes you have a better chance.

We talked to Little Shit director Richard Gorodecky and Philip Ilson the London short film festival director who looks for films with a voice

Actor Simeon Willis is now writing a screenplay after being inspired by the podcast and how he directed ah a film for the 48hr film challenge

Working with Christopher Nolan on The Dark Night and getting advice on his frst ever film. A little know Scorsese piece called Gangs of New York.

Actor Jon Campling talks about the difference between shooting an indie film and shooting Harry Potter . The huge machine behind a huge film and everything serves the actor. Indie film is a collaboration between everyone working on it.

Winter Ridge script editor and screenwriter Alistair Ager chats about the process of script writing and being a script editor. "You can be a fresh pair of eyes and you can spot things that the writer didn’t". How he looks for character arcs or plot points that aren’t needed and too much dialogue.

And Dom Lenoir and Matt Hookings make a little appearance too.

HOW TO MAKE AN INDIE FILM NOIR ON THE STREETS OF LA with the team behind LA Overnight

1 maj 2018 | 57 min

Screenwriter and Producer Guy J Jackson and stars of the movie Arielle Brachfeld and Ashley Park join Giles Alderson (The Dare) to talk about their new indie noir thriller LA Overnight

How Arielle jumped into the indie world by making Return of the Ghostbusters - A Ghostbusters fan film and her second written feature Chemical Peel and how LA is often not very welcoming to filmmakers but it does have a base and group of people who will help out to make indie films but with technology around now there is no excuse not to make a film.

Ashley has also recently produced the film Surviving Theatre 9 which is out soon and how it differs from being just an actress. "It’s so useful as an actress to also produce. You will never complain again. You get used to everything, nothing fazes you. It’s a really great learning experience”

Arielle found out she was auditioning for the lead role in LA Overnight at the read through and how she brought in lead actor Azim Rizk.

As the screenwriter and producer, Guy talks about getting a job by writing good emails. How tough Hollywood is. Michael Chrisoulakis, the director gave have a chance. But gave him boundaries to go with it and How Noir has pitter patter style to it's dialogue and their work to get the script as strong as it can be.

Ho they cast Hollywood names Lin Shay (Insidious) and Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show).

How to Film in LA. People will try and get money by playing the radio loudly and will want money for them to go away. Avoiding permits but getting insurnace is key. "If you're a dude with a camera and another dude with a mic no one usually bothers you. Just make sure you have insurance".

Shooting with a drone. Was so nervous you might be arrested. But director Micheal saw LA through a foreigners eyes and saw the beauty.

How they shot for nine months, shooting on weekends.

How you become Battle Buddies from your time on set and how you can be so proud of a film and proud of your co-stars and team

The secret is... getting someone else’s money

HOW TO MAKE A MICRO BUDGET INDIEFILM, WIN AWARDS & GET A CINEMA RELEASE with 'GUARDIANS'

26 april 2018 | 52 min

Director Mark AC Brown and actor David Whitney talk about how they made their new indie film Guardians.

We also chat about how Mark made a film for his degree but it was a great experiment and not to be seen again. How he wrote a feature script for Nu Image but the 'Expendables' ruined it and how it is best to write something to make yourself for free or on a micro budget with what you have available to you.

How when making an indie film, continuity is not as important as the story. How the establishing scene of a character is so important. But don’t waste time on drone shots. Then get the most amount of permissions you can get. And if not shoot anyway.

Suzanne Smith - their DoP was a runner on a Brainehound short and worked her way up. Made short film Beard with David and Mark and proved herself as a brilliant DoP and How having great all rounders like Fred Fournier and Joe Starrs as editor and 1st AD respectively is vital as is keeping your ‘team’ from your shorts/music videos and bringing them with you.

With low budget movies you have to juggle and workaround peoples schedules and how 'Withnails' - Richard E Grant's marvelous book was an inspiration (as was The Wah Wah Diaries)

When you are supposed to be doing he scene in 4 shots but end up doing it in one due to time constraints but it’s one of the best moments in the film so it's not always best to stick to your shot lists.

Why post can take so long when you are asking for favours on a micro budget film.

How they learned from other filmmakers on how they distributed their films - Ben Cookson, Fizz and Ginger's Two Down and James Rumsey's Drunk on Love.

Mark wanted to have a cinema run so chose Our Screen to have a theatrical release. Then the release got extended as it sold out for the second night.

And how they opened a festival in a double bill with recent horror film IT.

How to Make an Indie film at a Music Festival with the team behind Access All Areas, Ollie Vesey & Bryn Higgins

26 april 2018 | 62 min

Oliver Veysey (The Railway Man) and Bryn Higgins (Black Mirror / Electricity) join host Giles Alderson (The Dare) to chat about their latest film Access All Areas which was shot at Bestival music festival and stars Ella Purnell, Jordan Stephens, Georgie Henley, Jason Flemying and Phil Daniels.

For one of his first jobs in film we learn how Oliver, while working as Robert de Niro's assistant on Starfish had to make the best Martini or risk being fired. How he got a assistant job at Working Title after cold calling every film company he could.

Bryn talks about his background in documentaries and how they are a great way into feature films. How and why he made Unconditional - an LGBTQ movie and from there made the brilliant Electricity starring Anges DeynHis process of working with actors “The camera photographs thoughts so if you think it right, you are there". And how he would rather have a floor plan rather than story board.Making sure to block the scenes with the DOP in the room.

Oliver's experience producing The Railway man and how having a great mentor (in his case, Andy Patterson) is the best training a producer can have. How it took 14 years to get it made. Even with Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman on board there was still no guarantee the film would go ahead.

Filming at a music festival. Noise levels, crowds, performing live to track on the real stage and other issues of filming at a festival full of mud, blood and kidsHow learning from making the Bourne Ultimatum helped shoot the crowd scenes in AAA and trying not to pick a toilet people were having sex in also helps.
