“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

Drew is more than just a promising new voice in the industry. In our conversation, he shares how he got his start, his unique approach to exploring new technology through an unexpected lens, and the surprisingly quick process of landing the perfect producers for his project, the team behind Barbarian.

Exploring family and chaos, with 'Riff Raff' director Dito Montiel 19:35

منذ يومين19:35

19:35

Dito Montiel, the director of memorable films like 'Boulevard' and 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints', joins us for a riveting chat about his newest project, 'Riff Raff'. The film features a star-studded line-up, including Jennifer Coolidge, Ed Harris, Bill Murray, and many more, which only adds to the intrigue of this film that delves into the chaotic yet beautiful world of family dynamics. Montiel’s storytelling is rooted in his personal experiences, particularly the familial bonds he formed in the punk rock scene of his youth. Throughout our conversation, Dito shares his process of bringing the characters to life, often drawing from his own life experiences and the emotional truths they evoke. He reflects on casting decisions, especially how he managed to snag Jennifer Coolidge for the role of Ruth. From the chaotic energy on set to the nuanced performances delivered by his actors, Dito paints a vivid picture of the creative process that is as unpredictable as it is rewarding.

Brace yourselves for 'Lockjaw' 27:25

Slamdance is one of those festivals where the voices of the future become the voices of the present! One of the buzziest titles in this year’s lineup is Sabrina Greco’s directorial debut, ‘Lockjaw,’ starring Blu Hunt as Rayna, the main character wearing braces that are the physical manifestation of the titular situation one and a half months after a DUI. But the physical damage is only what’s on the surface. We embark on dissecting the entire affair with the director and star of the refreshingly 77-minute-long film. From the spark that ignited the idea of the story, to the unexpected challenges the bodily restriction posed, we cover it all with Sabrina and Blu! (Photos: Courtesy of Lockjaw, LLC)…

With the final voting for this year's Academy Awards underway, we bring you a short film that's thematically as timely as it gets. 'A Lien' chronicles a far too common and unjust tearing apart of a family in the midst of the father's immigration process. The 15-minute short is directed by brothers David and Sam Cutler-Kreutz, and today we are joined by Sam and cinematographer Andrea Gavazzi to discuss the baffling situation, the personal stories behind it, and the multi-faceted nature of the family's separation.

Jarin Blaschke brings color to the world of 'Nosferatu' 16:45

منذ 19 يومًا16:45

16:45

The unsurprising surprise hit of late 2024 - early 2025 was undoubtedly Robert Eggers’ gothic horror retelling of Nosferatu . The familiar story of Count Orlok, portrayed by Bill Skarsgård, is captured from a fresh perspective, through the eyes and nightmarish life of Ellen, played by Lily-Rose Depp. The two are accompanied in their gory ventures by other talented actors, including Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The not only thematically but visually striking piece is lensed by none other than the director’s go-to collaborator, cinematographer Jarin Blaschke. Thanks to Jarin joining us on this episode, we got to take a peek behind the curtains of the rocky but well worth it road to finally making the film, the price of success, and the way the light hits the fearsome Count.…

Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova took Hollywood and the world by storm as Tutar in 2020's Borat Subsequent Moviefilm , and her choices ever since have lived up to that. Whether playing a vital role in Halina Reijn and A24's first venture, Bodies Bodies Bodies , voicing Cosmo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 , or just last year playing Ivana Trump alongside Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong in The Apprentice , she also finds time for passion projects like Triumph , her home country's Oscar submission this year, and today's topic of discussion, O Horizon . During our conversation, Maria tells us about the intersection of different projects and how this one found her, the fine lines they had to walk while bringing the story—written and directed by Madeleine Rotzler—to life, and the universal portrayal of the ever-changing landscape of technology through grief.…

Festival season is in full swing, and this time, we had the pleasure of speaking with Miriam Shor and Josh Stamberg, the stars of Magic Hour , Jacqueline Christy's directorial debut, which premieres at this year's Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Miriam, who you might know from Younger , and Josh, who starred in Fleishman Is in Trouble and WandaVision , discuss the evolution of their acting careers, the relationships they have built with the characters they've portrayed over the years and decades, as well as the benefits of working with a first-time director.…

We're not used to seeing refreshing, high-quality movies (other than intended Oscar palyers) hit theatres in January, or as some like to call it, Dumpuary. Of course, there are always exceptions, like Paddington 1 and 2, Split , or Cloverfield. This January, on the brink of February, writer-director Drew Hancock’s feature debut, Companion , joins that list. The romcom-esque sci-fi thriller, starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, undeniably brings a fresh perspective to one of the most pressing topics of our time.

In our conversation with her, she shares the ups and downs of bringing The People's Joker to life—a film that defies not only genre but all expectations.

We Need to Talk About Sundance #3: The unintentional intentions in ’Rains Over Babel’ 19:45

One of the few things the pandemic couldn’t put a stop to was creativity. Our next guest is a perfect example: first-time director Gala del Sol, who began developing her debut feature during a time of great uncertainty. Gala’s incredibly ambitious Rains Over Babel premieres at Sundance in the NEXT section, offering something fresh and new while working within a familiar story and structure. In our conversation, we discuss the birth and evolution of the film, the importance of our upbringing, and how intentional the Dante adaptation was. (Photo credit: Gala del Sol Films)…

We Need to Talk About Sundance #2: The search for ‘LUZ’ 23:55

Three worlds, three dimensions? Not necessarily... However, director Flora Lau’s interpretation of the search for something both on a physical and spiritual level is exactly what we get to witness in Flora’s second feature LUZ . To up the ante, we haven’t been joined by this many guests before, as this time, in writer-director Flora Lau, producer Yvette Tang, actresses Sandrine Pinna and Huang Lu, and composer Mimi Xu. In our conversation with them, the group reflects on the physical manifestation of the previously cited search in the form of a deer, connecting different places and worlds, or how the characters can still stay grounded and ethereal despite the film’s mammoth thematic undertakings.…

We Need to Talk About Sundance #1: One of a kind 'By Design' 55:25

55:25

We could write endlessly about why you should look out for Amanda Kramer's By Design , but we’ll let the film’s synopsis speak for itself: “A woman swaps bodies with a chair, and everyone likes her better as a chair.” Honestly, what more do you need to strap in and watch this hour and a half long film starring Juliette Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, and narrated by Melanie Griffith?! Like all films, there are two sides to the story: one behind the camera and one in front of it. We had the incredible opportunity to speak with both Amanda Kramer, the beautifully twisted mind behind it all, and Mamoudou Athie, one of the actors bringing it to life. From materialism and physical performance to writing for actors and believing in the project you’re starring in, we cover it all.

Chris Sullivan visits Soderbergh’s Hollywood in ‘Presence’ 19:23

19:23

Even though this year’s edition of the Sundance Film Festival has just kicked off, today marks the release of one of the buzziest titles from last year’s festival. We’re talking about none other than one of the two Steven Soderbergh movies to see the light of day (well, actually the silver screen), the technically ingenious, thematically spooky Presence ! Our guest today is someone who you might know from TV shows such as This Is Us or The Knick , and films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 . In Soderbergh’s newest, actor Chris Sullivan plays a husband to Lucy Liu, and a father to Callina Liang and Eddy Maday. Chris not only shares a name with his character in Presence , but is also a recent father of two, who spoke to us about his experience on the project in general, and didn’t shy away from discussing the technicalities of the film in detail either!…

Ed Lachman and a cinematographer’s spatial awareness 28:00

As far as the art of cinematography goes, few are as accomplished or, dare I say, as revered as Edward Lachman. A frequent collaborator with Todd Haynes and a former partner to Paul Schrader and Steven Soderbergh, Ed has left an indelible mark on the craft. Today, we’re discussing Maria , the Angelina Jolie-led drama that marks Ed’s second collaboration with Chilean auteur Pablo Larraín following El Conde . The film, centered on the infamous opera singer’s final days, came with its share of challenges, demanding but, as you might expect, solvable. In our conversation, Ed reflects on his steadfast commitment to shooting on film, shares insights into the largely Budapest-based production, and reveals what keeps drawing him back to certain creative partnerships.

'September 5' director Tim Fehlbaum on the weight of history 16:01

It’s one thing to make a film about tragic historical events, but it’s another to depict them gracefully and objectively. This is exactly what director Tim Fehlbaum, his crew, and the stellar ensemble of Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro, Ben Chaplin, and Leonie Benesch set out to do in the movie September 5 . During our sit-down with Tim, he shared what led him to his third feature, his connection to the 1972 Munich events, his approach to directing this incredibly talented cast, and the complexities of the emotional and technical sides of the story.

Shea Whigham breaks out of character 23:39

23:39

Very few actors possess the level of versatility and underappreciation as Shea Whigham. From starring in indie gems like Wristcutters: A Love Story and Take Shelter to blockbuster franchises such as Mission: Impossible and acclaimed TV shows like Boardwalk Empire , Shea’s range is undeniable. Last June marked the Tribeca premiere of his team-up with Carrie Coon for Jeffrey Reiner’s crime dramedy Lake George , where Shea plays Don, a white-collar ex-convict who forms an unlikely alliance with Phyllis, played by Coon. We can also see Shea in 2025’s first major Netflix release, the miniseries American Primeval , where he portrays yet another vastly different character, Jim Bridger, a 19th century historical figure. Shea and Áron dive into topics like taste, the parallels and contrasts between Don and Jim, the character work behind both roles, and the one question he just had to ask Anthony Hopkins while shooting Joel Schumacher's Bad Company .
