Behind The Film: The Only Living Pickpocket in New York with Noah Segan

Épisode 105

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 34:29

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of Indie Film Weekly, Glen Reynolds and Jason Connell speak with filmmaker Segan about his film The Only Living Pickpocket in New York. The film stars John Turturro as Harry Layman, an aging pickpocket whose old-school skills are fading in a changing city; after stealing from the wrong person, he races across New York’s five boroughs to recover something unexpectedly valuable, risking his life and his family, including his invalid wife Rosie.

Segan explains building empathy for a flawed criminal, balancing humor and tension, and drawing inspiration from filmmakers including Lumet, Spike Lee, Jonathan Demme, and films like Friends of Eddie Coyle and Mikey and Nicky. He recounts casting Turturro (plus Buscemi, Esposito, Maslany), pickpocket training with Apollo Robbins, shooting challenges in real neighborhoods and on the subway, editor Hilda Rosula’s role in pacing, and music choices featuring Gary Lionelli’s score, LCD Soundsystem, “Native New Yorker,” and Bobby Short. Segan describes premieres at Sundance and Toronto, and securing distribution with Sony Pictures Classics.

The Only Living Pickpocket in New York opens in NY & LA October 23 and nationwide on October 30.

He describes the Flyers’ coach studying Soviet hockey, the controversial Ed Van Impe hit that preceded the Russians leaving the ice, and the film’s humor and archival footage process with Comcast/NBC and Flyers archives.

On this episode of Indie Film Weekly, Glen Reynolds and Jason Connell speak with filmmaker Thane Economou about his dark-comedy true-story film Trust Me, I’m a Doctor, starring Kal Penn as Dr. Kapoor amid the Anna Nicole Smith media circus, with Linda Hamilton and Abbie Cornish.

He details extensive research into Smith’s life and court records, casting Penn and Hamilton, directing key scenes like the diary reading, and filming inside the actual WeHo Pride Parade.

Behind The Film: Winter of the Crow with Kasia Adamik

Épisode 101

mardi 13 octobre 2026 • Durée 25:14

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of Indie Film Weekly, Glen Reynolds and Jason Connell speak with filmmaker Kasia Adamik about Winter of the Crow, a political thriller set in Warsaw during martial law in 1981, starring Lesley Manville as British professor Joan who witnesses a secret-police murder and becomes trapped in a shut-down country.

Adamik explains the film’s long development from adapting Olga Tokarczuk’s seven-page novel, the challenge of capturing Tokarczuk’s absurdity and humor, and the decision to tell the story subjectively rather than with detailed political factography. She describes changing the protagonist from male to female after earlier script versions stalled, which clarified Joan’s vulnerability, ambiguity with students, and Thatcher-era context.

Adamik details recreating 1981 Warsaw largely in Luxembourg with slightly exaggerated realism influenced by Brazil, using Polaroids as proof and a “reality check,” and reflecting on her storyboard career before discussing the film’s themes of normalized oppression, lost freedoms, empathy, and audience reactions after its Toronto premiere.

Winter of the Crow opened in limited theaters October 9.

On this episode of Indie Film Weekly, Glen Reynolds and Jason Connell speak with filmmaker Shaun Paul Piccinino about Double Trouble, a PG-13 holiday action comedy set during a Las Vegas casino jewelry heist starring sisters Madeleine and Violet McGraw with Andrew Koji.

Piccinino explains the film originated from a desire to showcase the McGraw sisters in a non-stereotypical holiday movie, blending influences like Home Alone, Ocean’s 11, Die Hard, and Jackie Chan-style environmental action. He discusses Vegas production challenges at the Palms Casino, including working with underage actors’ time limits and filming amid 4,000 football fans, plus staging sleight-of-hand, complex stunts, and an original song performance cross-cut with the heist. He hopes audiences take away a message about family and found family.

Double Trouble opens in limited theaters October 9 before streaming on Amazon Prime.

Emerging Filmmakers: Men of Law with Karl Lentini

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of Indie Film Weekly, Glen Reynolds and Jason Connell speak with filmmaker Karl Lentini about his indie thriller Men of Law, releasing September 29 on Amazon and other transactional VOD platforms through X4 Pictures. Lentini explains the film’s origin as a self-financeable concept he developed with Charles Gorgano, the New York–Texas character setup and Smithville, Texas locations, and inspirations such as the structure of The Untouchables.

He discusses taking on multiple roles (co-writer, director, producer, composer, and lead actor), the challenges of run-and-gun chase scenes, editing with Sarah Radle, and directing himself. Lentini describes losing Gorgano in 2021 and the actor who played Vito in 2024, and how the film led to a Men of Law podcast exploring child trafficking with real-world guests.

The episode also covers distribution strategy, meeting Reynolds via an Austin DVD connection, and quick-fire moviegoing questions.
