Welcome to a profound episode of the 'Right Place/Right Time' podcast, where hosts Mike and Lance engage in a captivating conversation with the esteemed acting coach, John Markland. With a roster of talent including Jeremy Allen White, Lewis Pullman, Eiza Gonzalez, and Eric Dane, John is renowned for his transformative approach to the craft of acting. 

"Where ever you are is the right place, right time."
In this thought-provoking dialogue, John delves into the roots of insecurity and the pursuit of the State of Play for performers. He shares his belief that there is no separation between life and art—our personal evolution as human beings is intricately linked to the development of our art. This symbiotic relationship allows experiences from life to enrich our art and discoveries through our art to further our self-awareness.

John eloquently draws parallels between the exploration of children through play and the journey of artists, highlighting the importance of communion between the conscious and unconscious mind. As wounded healers and storytellers, John suggests that by encouraging this state of communion, we can transcend barriers, connect with others, and ultimately, find redemption

Remote Encounters

ILWP REMOTE ENCOUNTERS 01 | The Power of Shooting on the Volume

Hosts Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams take you on a wild ride in their latest episode, where they dive into the eerie world of horror and genre screenwriting with the Latinxorcists.

From the get-go, it's clear this isn't your average chat about writing. Mike and Lance are battling against the thumping speakers at Fontainbleau's Club LIV, setting the stage as they sit down with founders Jose Vicente Chavez, Ricardo Martinez, and Alfredo Hernandez. You can practically feel the energy crackling in the air.

This episode is one of the raw honest ones. The Latinxorcists aren't just here to talk about horror and genre; they're here to dissect the writing process, warts and all. They delve into everything from giving and taking notes to the delicate art of working in writing rooms. And let's not forget about dealing with egos – a topic they tackle head-on with humor and humility.

Amidst the laughter and lively banter, the Latinxorcists touch on something deeper: the importance of creating spaces for Latinx storytellers. In an industry that often overlooks their voices, they're carving out a place where Latinx stories can thrive.

One of the highlights of the episode is the therapeutic discussion on unpacking trauma and overcoming fear. It's a reminder that writing isn't just about crafting tales of terror – it's about tapping into our humanity and showing compassion, both to ourselves and to others.

RPRT10 | In The Heart of Texas (w/ Gregory Kasunich  & Lauren Noll)

Have you ever found yourself captivated by the initial episodes of a television series, only to be disappointed by a decline in quality as the show progresses? It's a common experience, often attributed to a shift from creative excellence to a focus on quantity over quality. However, there are exceptions to this trend, and when we discover a show that maintains its visual brilliance from start to finish, it's cause for celebration.

In this episode, we dive into the mesmerizing world of FX's "SHOGUN." From its stunning visual style to its homage to Kurosawa and Japanese cinema, "SHOGUN" stands out as a testament to consistent excellence. Join us as we explore why this series looks so good.

Our guest, Christopher Ross BSC, the cinematographer behind the first few episodes of "SHOGUN," takes us behind the scenes. Together with host Mike Pecci, they delve into the meticulous process of creating a visual bible and maintaining the series' aesthetic integrity throughout its entire run.

EP302 | Why does SHOGUN look so good? (w/ Christopher Ross BSC)

On the latest episode of Right Place Right is the one and only Wesam Keesh – the man behind Wesam’s World and a professional eye-roller from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Join hosts Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams as they try to keep up with Keesh's journey from “Li’l Abner” to the glitz and glam of sunny Los Angeles. With a resume boasting scene stealing roles in Law & Order: Organized Crime, Awkward, Marvel’s Echo and NCIS: Los Angeles, Keesh has somehow managed to avoid getting lost in the Hollywood shuffle where dreams go to die faster than you can say "grande soy latte”.

The episode dives headfirst into personal growth, belief systems, and cancel culture - because apparently, nothing screams "fun podcast conversation" like discussing the existential crisis of being a actor in a city full of Instagram influencers and wannabe Kardashians, right?

But it's not all doom and gloom, folks, so buckle up because this episode is about to take you on a wild ride full of laughs through the absurdity of showbiz and the even greater absurdity of grown men pretending to have it all figured out. It's one you won't want to miss.

Welcome back, podcast aficionados, to another episode of Right Place Right Time!

From acting in commercials as a child to stealing the show in the Robert Sisters' latest, "A View of the World from Fifth Ave," Noelle's journey in the entertainment industry is filled with gems and laughs. And today, she's dishing out wisdom on everything from overcoming self-doubt to the absurdity of everyday life and how it can be a wellspring of inspiration.

Plus, we're cracking the code on finding that elusive supportive community of artists and reclaiming your power in a world that sometimes feels like it's straight out of a Kafka novel.

So "buy the paint" and find a canvas, because this episode is guaranteed to leave you inspired, laughing, pondering, and maybe even reconsidering your font choices.

RPRT 13 | Aging Gracefully as an Actress (w/ Lynn Freedman)

Get ready for one of our favorite episodes of In Love with the Process, now completely remastered with new music! Host Mike Pecci and Lance A. Williams sit down with acclaimed director and acting guru Judith Weston to discuss the book that transformed their approach to filmmaking. If you’ve ever referred to actors as "The Talent," you need to tune in.

Directing is one of the most social jobs in the industry, yet many aspiring directors neglect their relationships with actors. They’re not unicorns prancing in front of the camera; they’re professionals there to do a job. Effective directing goes beyond rehearsing lines—it's about understanding and communicating with your actors.

Judith Weston’s book, Directing Actors, has become a bible for Mike Pecci as he prepares for his first feature film. It also offers invaluable insights for actors like long-time guest and friend of the show Lance Williams. Take notes as Mike, Judith, and Lance delve into the importance of effective communication, the benefits of action verbs, and how to truly direct actors. This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about mastering the craft of directing.

REMASTERED EP139 | Directing Actors (Guests Judith Weston and Lance Williams)

While most kids were perfecting their dodgeball skills, this week’s guest, director Sean Carter, was dodging clichés and learning his way around cameras and all the film books he could consume.

Sean shares with hosts Mike and Lance how he transitioned from backyard Spielberg to film school prodigy, where he made friends in dark editing bays – the kind of friends who eventually call you up for a studio film gig in Greece. You know, as friends do.

It’s a deep dive into the mind that brought us “Keep Watching” and the much-anticipated “Wake,” his views on creating a narrative that grips you whether you're at a prestigious film festival or squished in the sticky seats of your favorite multiplex, and all of the career highs and low’s that don’t quite make the director’s cut.

If you're a fan of horror or just love a good behind-the-scenes tale, this episode is one for you.
