EP91 | An Honest Conversation Between Directors (Guest Daniel Centrone)
One of the first people that Host Mike Pecci hung out with after arriving in LA was another director named Dan Centrone. The two hit it off immediately: they both have experience as music video directors, they have the same East Coast mindset, and they've both dealt with some of the worst experiences in the business. Which is why we never were able to release the first recording of their episode. After some time working on new projects, boosting their spirits, and refocusing their discussion, we finally have an incredible episode with insight, catharsis, and a little sneak peak into what making your first feature film actually means.Dan's Webpage:http://danielcentrone.comFollow Dan on IG:instagram.com/dancentroneMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessRobert Eggers had a team build an actual lighthouse for The Lighthouse:https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/18/20921056/the-lighthouse-robert-eggers-director-interview-behind-the-scenes-robert-pattinson-willem-dafoeThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessQuasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Fright Rags (10% off at checkout w/ code: ILWP10):www.fright-rags.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.

EP89 | From the Circus to the Film Set (Guest Steven Strong)
"That set was a circus!" Does that sound like an insult? Think again. Our guest this week, Steven Strong, is the CEO of Quasar Science, one of the best lighting companies with some of our favorite products, and we're not just saying that because they're one of our amazing sponsors. (We love you!) If you've listened to this show, you've heard Host Mike Pecci talk about how much he adores his Quasar Tubes and the reason is obvious: they kick ass. Mike and Steven planned to talk about the benefits of quality LED lights, but then Steven dropped a bombshell on us: he grew up in the circus. This episode details a fascinating comparison of the circus and film industry, and for all you lighting nerds: don't worry... there's more than enough lighting discussion for you to love!Connect with Steven on LinkedIn:linkedin.com/in/steven-strong-14a99946Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://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/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.

EP88 | Film Editing: Mandy (Guest Brett W. Bachman)
Mandy. If you listen to this show, you're probably as obsessed with that film as we are, and if you aren't: stop what you're doing. Go watch it right now. Once you've seen Nic Cage in an acid-induced chainsaw fight, I'm betting you'll feel the same way we do. The whole film has such a unique voice, and it's clear that this was purposely created by the director and editor. Host Mike Pecci has admitted that this podcast is an excuse for him to talk to people he'd love to work with, and when you add in the fact that we haven't had an episode focused on editing, our guest, Brett Bachman, was the obvious choice. In addition to Mandy, Brett has edited other ILWP favorites like Color Out of Space and Daniel Isn't Real. If you're as big of a fan of these films as we are, this conversation between Mike and Brett is just everything you could want.ILWP YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5CRj5elNHZuT2vn3C9NPwgCheck out Brett's website:www.brettwbachman.comFollow Brett on Twitter:twitter.com/brettwbachmanMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG: instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessThe Epidemic of Passable Movies:youtu.be/Ukk5TJL27pEThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://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/InLoveWithTheProcessILWP Sponsor Page: www.inlovewiththeprocess.com/sponsors Hosted on Acast.
