    How to make a Netflix Hit with Blood Red Sky producer Benjamin Munz Feb 15, 2022
    Show notes

    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.

    Ben talks with our hosts Giles Alderson & Tobias Vees all about his filmmaking journey: How he started out in Germany where hardly anyone was interested in making films, how he slowly transitioned into paid jobs, and how he then pre-sold his feature film Stung for a million at AFM. 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.

    Watch BLOOD RED SKY on Netflix!

    A woman with a mysterious illness is forced into action when a group of terrorists attempt to hijack a transatlantic overnight flight.

    Sir Ian McKellen on Acting in Film & Theatre, Producing, Directors & his Career Feb 08, 2022
    Show notes

    Today is the day, dear listener. Our hosts Giles Alderson, Tori Butler-Hart and Matt Butler-Hart welcome the one and only Sir Ian McKellen to the show. Yes, THE Ian McKellen.

    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.

    Show notes

    On today’s show, Giles Alderson welcomes writer-director Lauren Hadaway to chat about her brilliant feature debut, The Novice (2021), starring Isabelle Fuhrman, Amy Forsyth, Dilone and many more.

    They dive deep into her filmmaking career: How she got started in sound as a supervising ADR editor and dialogue editor, working on films like Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight (2015), Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash (2014) or Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021) to name a few.

    Lauren also talks about how she made the transition from sound to writing/directing and why it’s important to differentiate yourself. She also discusses her writing process, why writing is rewriting, the importance of a great look book, directing actors, and how to deal with feeling like an imposter.

    You don’t want to miss this episode. Lauren is an absolute inspiration to all indie filmmakers out there. This is how to do it. It was a great pleasure to speak to her. And we can’t wait to see more of her work. So, sit back, relax, enjoy and get inspired by this week’s episode with Lauren Hadaway.

    JOE WRIGHT on Directing Cyrano (starring Peter Dinklage) and with Screenwriter Erica Schmidt Jan 11, 2022
    Show notes

    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!

    Today on the show, Giles Alderson welcomes the fantastic team behind Krays – Code of Silence (2021), produced by our co-host Lucinda Rhodes Thakrar, director Ben Mole & screenwriter Luke Bailey.

    Together, they dive deep into the making of the feature film about the Krays and give an honest look at the writer-director-producer relationship and its dynamic in the different stages of production.

    Luke talks all about his writing process, how he worked with Ben, why writing a treatment is important & how he writes dialogue. Ben, on the other hand, talks about working with actors, his cast, directing techniques, transitions, and why performance is more important than effects. And lastly, Lucinda discusses pre-production, bringing the team together, and why this is the movie she’s most proud of.

    This is a masterclass on how to make an indie film. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s episode with Ben Mole, Luke Bailey & Lucinda Rhodes Thakrar.

    KRAYS – CODE OF SILENCE is out NOW!1960s London. Hemlines are up, The Beatles are on the radio and crime is at the highest level on record. Detective Nipper Read is tasked with the impossible mission of bringing the city back to the rule of law. As he faces bent cops, political backstabbing, and terrified witnesses, he becomes increasingly obsessed with breaking the code of silence. He will push the rules, his moral compass, and his own sense of who he is, to the breaking point. The true story of the price paid by the man who caught the Kray twins.

    Show notes

    Today, Giles Alderson and co-host Lucinda Rhodes Thakrar welcome the incredible Philip Barantini! He is the writer-director-producer of the Indie One-Take Film Boiling Point (2021), which won multiple BIFA awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actress, Best Casting, Best Sound, & and Phil was also nominated for Best Director!

    Phil dives deep into his filmmaking career: He talks about how he started out as an actor, how he slowly shifted into directing and into the mindset of a director, and his learnings from that. He also talks about his first feature film Villain (2020) and obviously everything about how Boiling Point came about and how he made it.

    Who hasn’t thought of making a One-Take Film? No one. So listen up! This is a masterclass on how to actually shoot a Oner. Phil discusses rehearsals, how he works with actors, which camera he used, and why making a One-Take-Film is like ballet.
