Tribeca 2016: Five Questions for Women who Kill Writer/Director Ingrid Jungermann
After creating, directing and starring in two acclaimed web series — The Slope, a collaboration with Desiree Akhavan, and From F to 7th — Ingrid Jungermann makes her feature debut with the Tribeca Film Festival selection Women Who Kill. It’s a zeitgeist-y murder mystery set in the world of true-crime podcasts, but, like all of Jungermann’s work, it’s also a relationship story drawing inspiration from her own life. Below, Jungermann, one of Filmmaker‘s 25 New Faces, talks about her favorite ’80s serial killer books and movies, why working in genre allows her to be more personal, and now “Serial” inspired the film. […]

Watch: Taiwan Food Adventures: “Lynn Chen Bites, Episode One”
I first met actress Lynn Chen when executive producing Alice Wu’s feature film, Saving Face, and, since then, I’ve followed her work across film and TV — from Dave Boyle’s features to the premiere of Fear the Walking Dead — but also podcasting and social media. A body image activist as well as actress, Chen has the most varied social media footprint of anyone I know. She’s recently carved out a second career as food blogger through her website and podcast, The Actor’s Diet, as well as food videos for Buzzfeed, where she’s scored over one million views in a […]

Five Questions for She Does Podcast’s Elaine Sheldon and Sarah Ginsburg
Premiering on Wednesday, January 14 is She Does, a podcast focusing on the creative lives of women working in the media created by filmmakers Elaine Sheldon and Sarah Ginsburg. As the podcast’s mission statement explains, “Going beyond their current career status, we explore each woman’s past to understand how their personality, background and philosophy informs their work.” Interestingly, the podcast is not discipline-specific, including not just filmmakers but technologists, designers, journalists, musicians and more. In addition — and impressively, given the purely independent, DIY nature of this series — Sheldon and Ginsburg are bringing an artistic polish to She Does, […]

A Guide to the World of Film Podcasts
A few years ago I was doing a 30-minute internet radio show and decided one day to re-purpose it as a podcast. I thought, why not? Public radio shows like This American Life and Radiolab were doing it. I was also realizing that I was wasting my time being on the radio at all. Filmwax Radio was not public radio, and I assumed correctly that only a relatively small number of people were tuning in. I also thought that going podcast-only would be an opportunity to change my show’s format. I’d no longer be constrained by a 30-minute slot, nor […]

DRUNK PODCASTING AT CREATIVE CAPITAL
The above scene at the Creative Capital retreat this weekend brought back a lot of memories. The arts funding organization’s semi-annual retreat was held at Williams College in Williamstown Massachusetts, and on the final evening the outdoor barbecue got drizzled out. So, it was moved indoors, and afterwards the cafeteria space became a party space, where artist grantees and consultants danced to Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love.” A level up, Cinemad’s Mike Plante set up his microphones and recorded a podcast. The ’80s music, the party, and radio — it was like one of my own evenings in college, where I’d […]

RODDY BOGAWA ON “TAKEN BY STORM”
Excuse the inconsistent audio levels, a few bad edits, and the boom-y sound of some of this, but I decided to simply take the recording of my interview with Roddy Bogawa about his new doc, Taken by Storm, and run it as an audio podcast. I may try and do some more, and if they get smooth enough, start uploading them to iTunes. Taken by Storm is a portrait of artist Storm Thorgerson, who is best known for his work with the graphic design company Hipnosis designing album covers for bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. His sometimes surreal […]

I POD
The distribution panel I moderated last week is now a podcast. (If I had known this was to be archived on all of your hard drives, I probably would have been more concise in my questions…) Click on the link above to hear Caveh Zahedi, Jay Duplass, Susan Leber and me discuss the treacherous shoals of DIY distribution and offer some hard-earned advice to all of you aspiring directors and producers out there. For a print preview, here’s what Indiewire’s Eugene Hernandez had to say about it.
