The Filmmakers Podcast

Giles is joined by regular co-host Lucinda Rhodes Thakrar as they sit down and chat with cult actor Dominic Monaghan to discuss the psychological thriller Pet, a bold, unsettling chamber piece starring Dominic in the lead role of Seth.Dom shares stories of his humble beginnings as an actor in the Manchester youth performance scene, why he got into acting and how he moved from regional theatre to acting on the stage in London to being cast in one of the biggest movie franchises of a generation - but what is the secret to giving off the ‘perfect hobbit vibe’ at a casting call?We hear what it’s like to see Peter Jackson directing, along with the importance of building relationships with your fellow actors on set during a long haul shoot spanning almost 3 years.Finally - do actors need to ‘purge’ past characters they’ve played that are bad for them? And how does one do this? To find out you’ll need to tune in but as a spoiler it involves a shaman and a bag of unidentified herbs…Watch the Trailer for PET  EPISODE LINKSThis episode is sponsored but Performance InsuranceCheck out Jack Tarling’s Mother Tongues Award at www.mother-tongues-films.co.uk SUPPORT THE PODCASTJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, industry survival guides and feedback on your film projects.Spread the Word with Our Merch T-Shirts, Hoodies, Mugs, Masks and Water Bottles all now available in some very cool designs.Subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your podcasts.Help us out and write us a review (a good one!), tell your friends and CHOOSE FILM.Get in touch?

Giles and Robbie are humbled to sit down and chat with the incredible tour de force that is Julie Delpy. Whilst many of us may know and love her from Richard Linklater’s the 'Before' series or her work with Kieslowski on the Three Colours trilogy, we also know her prolific directing career from her debut 'Looking for Jimmy' all the way up to her latest feature 'My Zoe'. Julie talks frankly about her personal philosophy about film-making, her love of sci-fi and her directing process from writing to production to post - including how she made a name for herself at NYU by turning other students garbage footage into masterpieces in the edit suite.  We cover everything from collaborating with encouraging colleagues like Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater to navigating the nastier side of the film industry and dealing with industry sexism as a female actor making the route from acting to directing. Finally, we discuss the practical nature of film-making, and how you can stay true to your own vision whilst adding others’ ideas into the mix in the hire wire art of directing.  This week’s sponsor is WeScreenplayOur jury of studio execs, producers, agents, and writers are on the hunt for a script that’s just waiting to be turned into the next big movie.
