Ep 36 HOW TO DIRECT FIGHT SCENES & DIRECTING STREET FIGHTER Part 2 with Joey Ansah

Filmmaker Deborah Haywood joins Giles Alderson (The Dare) and guest host Julian Kostov (Another Mothers Son) to chat about her brilliant debut feature film Pin Cushion and how making shorts was the best way to prep for the mammoth task of making a feature.
We chat about the new Martson's Beer Town Film Festival in Burton and go in-depth about going from shorts to feature films and how it can really be a calling card. From making her first short Lady Margaret with Michael Sorcha to winning awards and getting noticed for her short film Sis and 'Twinkle Twinkle' for Rankin presents. Being involved with i-features and the BFI and how important it is to stick to your gut when writing your feature films.

We also chat about her screenwriting process, being strong on set and bold with casting, being bullied and feeling vulnerable, leading on set but being scared, and building relationships on set with the crew.

And importantly, Directing with love and having the right collaborative team and producer is so key.

Oh and actor Robert Maaser makes a surprise appearance.

Ep 41 HOW TO GO FROM SHORT FILMS TO FEATURES with Deborah Haywood, Giles Alderson & Julian Kostov

Part 2 of our chat with indie filmmakers and the team behind ace action thriller Tango One, Trish Rybarczyk & Sacha Bennett sit down with Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Dan Richardson (Retribution) in Just Voices Studio to chat about how they made it.

*We have an exclusive on their new film Ethel with a CAST announcement.


They tell us how they made Tango One. Getting all the money from the investor and getting Universal on board. Only issue with that is having to wait behind the big releases to come out first and hoping yours is next. But hearing the universal theme on at the beg of your movie is incredible.

How adapting a book can be difficult and ho turning away from the book and changing the character can be very beneficial. And changing the dialogue to fit. How they didn't want it to be a gangster film. Making Tango One more international and thriller-esque and less London drug dealers .

It’s all about prep. If you want something done do it yourself.
