Anne Hu - Geoffrey Prather - Bryan Poyser - BONUS Throwback Interview!

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 453 from December 2023 with short filmmakers Anne Hu, Geoffrey Prather and Bryan Poyser who all talk about their latest short films at the time. We felt that this short filmmaker roundtable was a good match for our episode with Brandon ShipCowSky and Ted Hayden from Monday because they also talked about making their latest short films.

Theo Brown - BONUS Throwback Interview!

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 463 from February 2024 with filmmaker Theo Brown who talks about making his first feature indie sci-feature on a low budget and how he casted the film. I thought this was a good match for Lincoln from Monday because both their features were low budget sci-fi films which they kinda did on their own with really small crews. After that we play another round of You’re the expert, enjoy!
