EP83 | Finding Empathy Through Documentary Filmmaking (Guest Rudy Hypolite) Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

Documentary Filmmaker Rudy Hypolite is, without a doubt, an empathetic documentarian. His films, PUSH: Madison versus Madison and This Ain't Normal are grounded, empathetic examinations of the real lives of black men, teens, and boys inducted from birth into gangs, violence, brotherhood, and a disassociation with the established "law and order" of Boston. Rudy provided Host Mike Pecci with a first hand experience of what these boys go through and taught Mike how to be a more empathetic person. With so many people so angry at so many things, we hope that this episode can allow some of us to take a moment to talk to each other, understand where we are coming from, and connect with each other as humans.How to Support Black Lives Matter & Other Social Justice Movements:townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/g32730417/george-floyd-blm-how-to-donate-help/?fbclid=IwAR2S9u5HCNzHlLjjuEjZxLu6_Kf13-g_HmOi2IjvEzmx8DrAY7eDbZL1z60Watch Rudy's films at: https://www.kreateabuzzdocfilms.com/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessILWP Website:www.inlovewiththeprocess.com

EP82 | Cinematography: Injecting Color Into Action (Guest Dan Laustsen) May 26, 2020

Show notes

In the film industry, time is king. So many of us are racing toward our goals and constant improvement is necessary, but the reality is that it's going to take a long time for us to achieve our goals as creatives. Host Mike Pecci spoke with Cinematographer Dan Laustsen about his decades of experience as one of the best DPs in the industry. Dan's insane career includes shooting household names like Crimson Peak, The Shape of Water, and John Wick 2 & 3. Through his colorful style, he crafts these unique worlds we all know so well. The best part is, he doesn't hesitate to share his techniques and wisdom.

EP81 | Talking All Things Barbecue (Guest Chef Tom Jackson) May 19, 2020

Show notes

What the hell does a pellet grill have to do with directing? It's no secret that Host Mike Pecci loves barbecue almost as much as he loves films, so you know he was excited to talk to Chef Tom Jackson of All Things Barbecue. This show is basically that: all about barbecue, but don't think that there aren't any lessons to pull from such a conversation. Barbecue teaches us to slow down, and enjoy the process of cooking, and this episode hits on a lot of points that are important for every artist to learn about the process of their craft. Pay attention & you might catch some words of wisdom... or you might just learn how to cook something delicious.Check out Chef Tom's IG:instagram.com/cheftomjacksonAll Things BBQ:www.atbbq.comMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessILWP Website:www.inlovewiththeprocess.comThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors

EP80 | Building Your Toolkit: Defining Tone by Selling Your Process (Guest Salomon Ligthelm) May 12, 2020

Show notes

One reason young creatives are so focused on learning new skills is because they believe those skills will get them jobs. Sure, learning techniques will help you make better work, but at a certain point, it isn't enough to be the best button presser in the room. Directors Mike Pecci and Salomon Ligthelm break down the importance of understanding and articulating your process as a Director and how developing that process helps you define your tone as a storyteller. Your process, that toolkit we're always talking about, is what separates you as a creative. Building your toolkit allows you to compete for jobs with your process so you don't have to cut your prices.Salomon Ligthelm's IG:instagram.com/salomonligthelmSalomon's Website:www.ligthelm.workMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessILWP Website:www.inlovewiththeprocess.comLinks from the Episode:DAUGHTER 'Medicine':vimeo.com/213504158ROCKET WARS:vimeo.com/132183063The Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors

The SELF-QUARANTINE MINI-SERIES 06 | Dealing With Stress & Answering Your Questions May 01, 2020

Show notes

Whether it’s a lack of stimulus checks or strategically timed landscaping, everyone has a reason to be stressed right now. Host Mike Pecci is once again joined by Ass. Producer Liam D. O’Brien to weigh in on life as we know it in Self-Quarantine. Between bleach cocktails, UFO sightings, and free Covid-19 testing, this week had enough news to last 4 hours let alone 90 minutes.

EP78 | Directing: Getting Your First Feature Film Made (Guest Grant Sputore) Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

All young filmmakers have the same goal. We spend every waking hour pushing toward it, every quiet moment thinking about it. How do I get my first feature film made? There is such a small percentage of people who actually make a full length film, and lets pretend for a minute that you just finished yours. You get into Sundance, it gets bought by Nextflix, and the fans give you a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes! Now what?! In this episode host Mike Pecci has a director to director conversation with I AM MOTHER director Grant Sputore about how he got his sci-fi epic made and what comes next.Grant Sputore's IG:instagram.com/grantsputoreI AM MOTHER:netflix.com/watch/80227090?source=35Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting by Robert McKee:amazon.com/Story-Substance-Structure-Principles-Screenwriting/dp/0413715604/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Save the Cat: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need by Blake Snyder:amazon.com/Save-Cat-Last-Screenwriting-Youll-ebook/dp/B00340ESIS/ref=reads_cwrtbar_2/143-7334865-3324009?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00340ESIS&pd_rd_r=1dcaa61f-7ef4-424b-9311-dab4bb1ccd98&pd_rd_w=idvfE&pd_rd_wg=im2j0&pf_rd_p=f7e50e46-03c7-4eda-9ad4-faa4a79972b4&pf_rd_r=HC84SKSZV9YMDWNVVENZ&psc=1&refRID=HC84SKSZV9YMDWNVVENZScreenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting by Syd Field:amazon.com/Screenplay-Foundations-Screenwriting-Syd-Field-ebook/dp/B000S1LAYG/ref=pd_sim_351_5/143-7334865-3324009?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000S1LAYG&pd_rd_r=3dd56656-8531-4a29-971b-0f4885afa1de&pd_rd_w=anaql&pd_rd_wg=nTNFA&pf_rd_p=9fec2710-b93d-4b3e-b3ca-e55dc1c5909a&pf_rd_r=202SV4H5EVC4124Q90W2&psc=1&refRID=202SV4H5EVC4124Q90W2Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: https://www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-Labs-Consultation-Service-101?utm_campaign=Labs%20Consulting%20Service&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=86870814&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_wSWwnc8PcednfbyTVEAsdMM306nDi0bOJYwiremn-vKb8nJkjTcElONO7CDX0cwMCmzCkv12_i0lWBBunGIlUMFJScg&_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors
