EP100. Jim Dowdall. Stunt Coordinator.
When we started this podcast in 2019, the idea was to give film students a direct line to members of film crew who are further ahead in their chosen careers; hearing their stories and learning from their experiences. When the world stopped in 2020, the ‘experienced’ in the film industry had time to chat.
This episode was recorded in May 2020 and we knew it was destined to be our 100th episode.
Jim’s story and his entry into, exit from, and return to the film industry demonstrate that there really is no ‘one true path’ to becoming a crew member. Encouraged to leave school, running off to join the circus, a stint in the parachute regiment, working as an armourer – all unexpected experiences that conspired together to give Jim the tools for success: a thirst to learn, the ability to move forward and accepting every opportunity that came his way.
In the words of Steve Jobs, “it’s only looking back that we can connect the dots”. And, connect the dots we do, with Jim’s amazing stories and anecdotes about film super stars who paved the way for generations they would never meet.
Thank you Film Family for giving this an audience.
We truly love what we do and we thank you for giving us your precious time each episode.

EP96. Steve Davies / APA CEO
Three years on from the last episode drop we felt it was time to give this podcast the rebirth it had been desperate for - like a Podcast Phoenix.
From the ashes we have spoken to Steve Davies, APA CEO. We talk about 2023, a tough year for film crews and companies and what 2024 could bring, how to make the most of it and where are heading.
