EP126 | Capturing Essence In Your Art (Guest Sam Gilbey)
Looking at the Cover of Empire Magazine, you might see a promo for a movie and immediately know what the movie is about. Or looking at a beautiful Mondo Poster, you connect immediately with the characters. You didn't watch the movie. No one told you the plot or the twists. Yet, the art delivered the essence of the story so well that of course you feel connected to it. That's the power of Sam Gilbey. Sam is an incredibly talented artist known for his Empire Magazine Cover Illustrations as well as artwork showcasing some of the coolest icons in pop culture history. Host Mike Pecci discusses with Sam his work on retelling iconic visuals of Jaws, The Mandalorian, and all of his art work.Check out Sam Gilbey's website:https://www.samgilbeyillustrates.com/Sam Gilbey's IG & Behance:instagram.com/samgilbeybehance.net/samgilbeyMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessGrab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by:www.acrylmadness.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/https://soundcloud.com/jdog19971The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP125 | Cinematography: Capturing Images That Define A Generation (Guest Daniel Pearl, ASC)
What defines a generation? Is it Meatloaf riding a motorcycle and being chased by helicopters? is it a boy band dancing like marionettes? Is it Slash laying down a guitar solo in front of a Church? Somehow, one man has been responsible for those moments that kept kids glued to MTV for decades. We're talking Guns n Roses. Meatloaf. Lionel Richie. NSYNC. J-Lo. Mariah Carey. Boys II Men. The list doesn't end. And on top of that, our guest Daniel Pearl, was the cinematographer for not only one of the most iconic horror films of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but he then came back to redefine the look of horror films with the remake! Host Mike Pecci was part of the generation that grew up enraptured by the images Daniel created. Now you get an inside look at what it took to create some of the most iconic images that truly defined a generation.Follow Daniel on Instagram:instagram.com/dpearldpCheck out Daniel's Insane IMDB:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0669050/#cinematographerMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessWatch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974):https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B077T2C24J/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rWatch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003):https://tubitv.com/movies/581944/the-texas-chainsaw-massacre?utm_source=google-feed&tracking=google-feedMusic Videos discussed in the episode:Guns N Roses - Don't Cry:https://youtu.be/zRIbf6JqkNcMeat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love:https://youtu.be/9X_ViIPA-GcLionel Richie - Dancing On The Ceiling:https://youtu.be/ovo6zwv6DX4N*SYNC - Bye Bye Bye:https://youtu.be/Eo-KmOd3i7sUsher - Dive:https://youtu.be/OIOntfVPBswGrab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by:www.acrylmadness.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/https://soundcloud.com/jdog19971The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP124 | Film Fest (With Marshall Cook)
You did the impossible: You got your film made. Now it's a question of how to get people to see it. Do you release it online? Do you try to get it released in theaters? Or do you try your hand at the film festival circuit? Our guest, Marshall Cook, directed a hysterical look at the ridiculous reality of attending film festivals as a filmmaker in his movie: Film Fest. Host Mike Pecci and Marshall swap stories of attending festivals as directors, the struggle of independent filmmakers, and the comparisons between comedy and horror.Watch Film Fest:https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B08W368MY2/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rCheck out Marshall Cook's website:https://marshallcook.com/Film Fest is on IG:instagram.com/filmfestfilmFollow Marshall on IG:instagram.com/thismarshallcookCheck out Rick Darge on IG:instagram.com/rickdargeMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessWatch Living In Oblivion:https://pluto.tv/on-demand/movies/living-in-oblivion-1-1Grab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by:https://betamaxxmusic.bandcamp.com/album/interfacewww.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP123 | Bring People Together With Music (Guest Alex Rodriguez)
Record Stores have a way of bringing people together. There's something about being told "Oh, you should check out this band" "Have you heard this?" "You're gonna love these guys" that makes you feel like part of a secret club. You gotta be careful, though. That passion for finding and listening to new music can become an addiction for some. Alex Rodriguez may look like he's ripped out of the 70s, but he's travelled a lifetime to find and curate one of the most expansive music vinyl libraries in the World. He was even hired by the guys at Coachella to make a documentary about finding the bands and music chosen for one of the biggest concerts the U.S. hosts every year. Host Mike Pecci and Alex go deep into their love for vinyl, their geekiness for music, and their love for record stores.Order your DVD of Record Safari while they're still available!https://www.recordsafarithemovie.com/Watch the Trailer for Record Safari here:https://youtu.be/x9Sv64xBtp0Check out the Glass House Record Store:https://www.theglasshouse.us/record-store/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessGrab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by:www.acrylmadness.bandcamp.com/https://orkladrive.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP122 | Directing a New Cult Classic: Willy's Wonderland (Guest Director Kevin Lewis)
When was the last time you saw a cult classic in a theater? Don't use quarantine as an excuse. How long was it before we shut down since you were at a midnight showing of The Thing? Evil Dead? Rocky Horror? There's a different kind of energy when you're sitting down to watch a raunchy, ridiculous B-Movie. Our guest, Director Kevin Lewis, set out to make a new addition to the cult classic pantheon, and there really isn't much better to add than Nic Cage beating up animatronic demon animals. Host Mike Pecci and Kevin share their love for cult classics, B-Movies, and making a new age version of the cult classic.Watch Willy's Wonderland:https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08V5HLCJV?tag=decider08-20&sa-no-redirect=1Watch Lost Soul, the Richard Stanley Documentary:https://tubitv.com/movies/537473/lost-soul-the-doomed-journey-of-richard-stanleys-island-of-dr-moreau?utm_source=google-feed&tracking=google-feedListen to the Edgar Wright / Quentin Tarantino Empire Podcast:https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/empire-podcast-edgar-wright-and-quentin-tarantino-in-conversation/Read Martin Scorcese's thoughts on Frederico Fellini:https://harpers.org/archive/2021/03/il-maestro-federico-fellini-martin-scorsese/The Little Things is available on HBO Max:https://play.hbomax.com/feature/urn:hbo:feature:GYA79hQZbUsI3gQEAAAB0?camp=googleHBOMAXMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessGrab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by:https://betamaxxmusic.bandcamp.com/album/interfacewww.acrylmadness.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/https://soundcloud.com/jdog19971The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.
