The Movie Crypt

Filmmakers Adam Green (FROZEN, the HATCHET franchise), Joe Lynch (MAYHEM, EVERLY), and Arwen the Yorkie host this inspirational and educational program that offers a fully comprehensive look at the entertainment industry, the artistic process, and the enduring struggle of not giving up on your dreams. By candidly sharing their own trials and tribulations in Hollywood, Adam and Joe create an extremely honest and heartfelt dialogue with their guests. The hilarious, heartbreaking, and therapeutic “artist on artist” conversations focus on each guest’s individual journey and the various hurdles they have personally faced and conquered along the way. With guests ranging from Academy Award winners, entertainment icons, and A-list celebrities… to cinematographers, editors, studio executives, and countless other crucial positions not typically featured in the spotlight, an average episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT offers more insight for navigating the entertainment industry than an entire semester of film school.

Ep 260: Jacob Gentry May 28, 2018

Show notes

Filmmaker Jacob Gentry (THE SIGNAL, SYNCHRONICITY) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen for an amazing discussion about his journey from a child recording his own "podcasts" (decades before podcasts were even a thing) to one of our generation's most unique and exciting voices in filmmaking. From technical geekery (you won't believe what other film the Panavision lenses were used for on one of Jacob's first projects!), to the potential pitfalls of festival hype, to dealing with the internet's rotten anonymous haters, to the "contract" that every film's marketing materials create with an audience… this is a raw and honest conversation that many aspiring and working filmmakers out there will relate to and benefit from. Dr. Arwen prescribes her famous "Hollywood Therapy," your "Viewer Mail" questions are answered, and the boys make a date to watch 12 FEET DEEP together.
