Haha, absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about – and thank you for listening! To be honest, this is the first episode in a year (let's call it the start of season two). Have struggled a little bit for motivation whilst work has been busy, but hopefully will get some good interviews done in the...

Hey everyone, just checking in with a new episode of my filmmaking podcast. This one's with Mark Jenkin the writer/director of a film called Bait. Bait's been a real hit here in the UK – it's a little Cornish film shot on a Bolex and with dubbed sound, so very unusual, but it's been acclaimed...

Haha, I am feeling nostalgic. And if it brings the old IT band back together, all the better!

Hi Richard – It is indeed a long thread, and pretty much charts the history (comings and goings) of Indietalk from 2014 to 2017. So it's quite interesting to look back on. The most advanced cut of the project is here: PW: indietalk I think it's really only missing the UFO video, which can be...

Now would be a great time to finish this...

I think this would be good, though would require a critical mass of people participating to make it work. When we've done similar things on here in the past – like the Secret Santas – it's been quite hard to ensure that everyone is making them on time. And I do think that Indietalk's great...

I've become an inadvertent Apple evangelist (iPhone and MacBook) but other than that I'm quite flexible. I own gear from Canon, Rode, Shure, Zoom...etc. Rode is probably the brand I have the most of, in terms of different pieces. I also always wear a West Ham baseball cap, but that's more...

For what it's worth, I think stopping that feeling takes you, not any scripts (brilliant or otherwise). The reality is that this industry is difficult and competitive, and then, on top of that, we're all constantly fighting internal battles for self-esteem, confidence and happiness. Feeling...

Definitely know (and sympathise with) that feeling of striking the balance between decent work that pays the bills but where you lack an emotional investment, and the more time and energy consuming, risky work that we all want to *ultimately* do. As long as you're happy with the balance though...

I'm enjoying it, makes me feel young (in Indietalk years...) again ;)

Hi everyone! Apparently I have to post here before I get access to the rest of the site, which has mysteriously vanished. For those who don't know me (which probably constitutes a fairly high percentage of IT's current users) I'm Nick, I'm from the UK and live in London. I've made a bunch of...

I'll go first: So, I now work professionally in the media, albeit audio storytelling rather than visual storytelling. It's business, so most of the work that I do isn't anything that I'm passionate about, although I make a lot of interesting shows. I do have my own little podcast, Establishing...

Some of you I know of old, some of you are new to me. Anyhow, I did a similar thread to this years and years ago and found it a good way for people to articulate what they were working on and what they want from their next project. So... – What are you thinking about? Or writing? Or applying...

Wow, wasn't expecting such a drastic overhaul! It's testament to, even though I haven't been posting much the past couple of years, how often I check in on the site that I had been eagerly awaiting and praying for its return. Looks great, fab job IT!

I'm struggling on with this project, despite the lack of a big audience. Any listens from you guys (plus ratings and reviews on iTunes if you're an absolute doll) would be much appreciated! This week I'm talking about Arabic cinema, something I know nothing about, with Sheyma Buali, who is...

I would maybe just say 'EVENTS' instead of aftermovies, it seems a fairly standard genre of commercial video work. Looks good Walter – the only shot I don't like is at 0:19, guy eating some toast and drinking tea (or something!). Other than that, I like it all.

I took a couple of months off this project because I had to focus on work that was getting me paid, and the last interview I had done before Christmas, with director Yann Demange, wasn't very good and made me reappraise why I was doing this... Anyhow, I'm going to start releasing episodes...

(I've unsuccessfully tried to post this three times now, so apologies if the message is brief!). My latest podcast, and possibly, though not definitely, the last before Christmas is an interview with Yann Demange, director of 2014's '71 and White Boy Rick, starring Matthew McConaughey. He was...

This week's episode is with a British filmmaker called Victoria Mapplebeck, who works in documentaries, and has just produced two acclaimed short documentaries about her son, shot on iPhones, and is currently making a VR documentary about her own treatment for breast cancer. You can listen here...

Good stuff, and really interesting to think about the differences in doing this between UK and US (I always find the role of SAG intriguing, as things are slightly different here in the UK). I also think this is a great subject, because all the directors/producers I know who have gone on to do...
