Ep. #18: "The Substance" (Live from the 2025 AD Awards Winner Q&A) with 1st AD Matthieu de la Mortière, 2nd ADs Olivia & Benoît, 2nd 2nd AD Anne and 3rd ADs Agathe & Joséphine

dimanche 30 novembre 2025 • Durée 33:00

This is part two of our two-part Assistant Director Awards Special - because this year, Meet the ADs partnered with the Assistant Director Awards (ADA) to share the winning teams’ insights with a wider audience.

We’re not part of the awards organisation itself, but we’re proud to collaborate in celebrating outstanding AD work from around the globe. Julia hosted the 2025 ADA Winners’ Q&A featuring the gold-winning AD teams of Ripley and The Substance. The conversations were far too good to disappear into a Zoom archive, so we’re bringing them to you as two special podcast episodes.

For "The Substance" the entire AD team was present consisting of 1st AD Matthieu de la Mortière, 2nd ADs Olivia Delplace & Benoît Seiller, 2nd 2nd AD Anne Juin and 3rd ADs Agathe Manzanares & Joséphine Anquiez.

This Q&A was recorded live on Zoom, with a visual audience present and questions coming in throughout the session so the conversation style is a little different from our usual episodes. You’ll notice a few audio hiccups here and there.

Ep. #3: "Eine Million Minuten" with director & producer Christopher Doll (IN GERMAN)

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

vendredi 16 février 2024 • Durée 01:14:50

In unserer ersten Deutschen Folge, hatten wir die große Freude, mit Produzent und Regisseur Christopher Doll zu sprechen. Chris ist Mitbegründer und Geschäftsführer der Hellinger/Doll Filmproduktion und den meisten Filmschaffenden in Deutschland seit Jahren ein bekannter Begriff; z.B. als Produzent von Filmen wie "Traumfrauen", "SMS für Dich", "4 gegen die Bank" oder "Wunderschön". Vor seiner Produzenten-Karriere, hat Chris jedoch als 1. Regieassistent und 1st AD Filme wie "Krabat", "Im Winter ein Jahr", "Buddy", "Wickie", "3096 Tage" oder "Anonymus" von Roland Emmerich geprägt.

Wir sprechen über Chris Lebensweg, seine Liebe zum Kino und zur großen Leinwand, wichtige Momente in seiner Karriere, aber auch die 4-Tage-Woche beim Film, das Miteinander am Set, Respekt für die Crew und die Bedeutung der ADs am Set. Schlussendlich geht es aber natürlich auch um sein Regiedebüt "Eine Million Minuten". Ein großartiger, bewegender Kinofilm mit Karoline Herfurth und Tom Schilling in den Hauptrollen.

Themen-Wünsche, Fragen und Anregungen nehmen wir jederzeit gerne entgegen! Schreibt uns einfach an: podcast@ad-union.org

Ep. #2: "All Quiet on the Western Front" with 1st AD Benedict Hoermann & Crowd 2nd AD Valerie Adamer

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 31 janvier 2024 • Durée 01:11:08

Episode two features the core AD team of Edward Bergers epic German anti-war film "All Quiet On The Western Front" from 2022, also called "Im Westen nichts Neues" in German. It was a pleasure speaking with 1st AD Benedict Hoermann and Crowd 2nd AD Valerie Adamer about their their achievements, challenges and most fun memories of the shoot. We dig deep behind the scenes of the winner of nine Academy Awards last year. During the first half we´ll be talking about cranes, gimbals, meaning camera shots and technical equipment as well as storyboarding and rehearsing thoroughly. In the second half it's more about crowd, burning stunts people and the psychological impact of "playing war" but also about frozen sandbags and being a first time guest at the Oscars as an Assistant Director. Enjoy!

Ep. #1: "Peaky Blinders" (S. 5&6) with 1st AD Jon Midlane, Key 2nd AD Arizona Eastwood and 3rd AD Mike King

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

lundi 22 janvier 2024 • Durée 01:14:39

Our first episode features the core Assistant Director (AD) team of the British hit TV show "Peaky Blinders" Season 5 and 6. It was an honour speaking with 1st AD Jon Midlane, Key 2nd AD Arizona Eastwood and 3rd AD Mike King about their careers as well as their achievements, challenges and most fun memories of the shoot. We dig deep behind the scenes of one of the UK‘s biggest shows, hear the touching story of losing a beloved cast member during the shoot, get amazed by the fact that some actors who play a married couple on "Peaky Blinders" were never in the same room together and cannot stop laughing about the ridiculous things one has to do as a 1st AD - like in Jon's case: playing a dead body and at the same time calling "action".

Enjoy! And if you have any thoughts, ideas or even guest requests for the future, we are always happy to hear from you. Write to us: podcast@ad-union.org
