Ep 121. Film in the News | Canal+, Cannes & Dogma ‘25

 

As the worlds film family came together for the 78^th Cannes Film Festival a few articles caught my interest, so I decided to put them out there for this ep. The festival was widely considered a success, but was there any affect felt from the last few years of turbulence?

Ep 119. Trumps Film Tariff

Ep 119. Trumps Film Tariff

 

As the industry was dealt another possible blow of tariffs on films made outside the U.S, initial thoughts were fearful. With a little more insight and investigation, seems like more hot air to ruffle feathers.

Ep 117. AI Fake KFC Advert – Dir: Joris Noordenbos & DOP: Simon Paul

Ep 117. AI Fake KFC Advert – Dir: Joris Noordenbos & DOP: Simon Paul

 

As the internet exploded with comments and opinions on a recent AI generated fake KFC commercial by @divinci_production, it raised questions for me around copyright, and the thin vail between imitation and plagiarism.

We have the foundations of the future of the industry already built through our shared experience, we should decide how it moves forward for the benefit of us and those coming up behind us.

Ep 116. Scott Grummett | Food Photographer & Director

 

As we enter the new world of commercials and content, having a speciality, I think, is a smart move for future Directors. Our guest chose food and he continues to perfect his craft each job by pushing the boundaries of what Agencies and Clients will accept, and will make bellies across the globe rumble for many years to come.

Ep 115. Last Swim. Dir: Sasha Nathwani & Lead Actor: Deba Hekmat

 

As I enter the fifth year making this podcast we have a very special film as todays talking point. A film that is uniquely now and wonderfully eternal. We have all been a young teen in our city, with no real plans, in a tight friendship group with “having fun” and “making memories” the only agenda.

Please go and watch Last Swim, an independent British film, you will have a great time!

 

As always, thank you to our guest and thank you for listening.
