So, You Work In Film? – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This is the trailer to my brand new podcast So, You Work In Film? - I'm delighted to welcome you to my little corner of the interwebs! 

So, You Work In Film? is about chatting to the people who work in film and make this industry what it is. We discuss their careers, their life paths but also topics like AI, the challenges faced by women, the evolution of the industry and much more. 

I am not aiming for perfection in any way; just genuine connections and a better understanding of the humans behind the job titles. 

Enjoy! 

In this episode, I get to chat with Julian White, Chief Lighting Technician with a career spanning over three decades! 

We've discussed the challenges of bringing light to underwater and VFX shoots and navigating the filming on a council estate, where there are lots of existing lights. 

If you've seen Crazy Rich Asians, The Martian, Cinderella or Attack The Block, you'll be interested to hear what Julian has to say about working on these films :) 

You can follow Julian on Instagram - @bloodandlight66  

Enjoy the episode! 

Happy 2025 to all!

We're back with a brand new episode where I chatted with Lindsay Bonaccorsi.

Lindsay is a BAFTA Cymru Award Winning Costume Designer with over 20 years experience in television, commercials, theatre and live music events.

We discussed her work on contemporary projects (including Doctor Who), where she sources the clothes and where they go once the shoot has wrapped. We also revisit the infamous tin of buttons, a shared memory and the start of Lindsay's passion for costume design.

We're ending 2024 with a treat!

In this episode, I am talking to Sam Tung, storyboard artist, writer and director. Sam's love of comics and drawing landed him in Los Angeles where he has been working as a storyboard artist for about 10 years.

A dinosaur and dog enthusiast - did we just become best friends?! - Sam is also writing and directing his own stories and projects, which we discuss in more detail in the episode. Sam has also storyboarded a lot of frames for Twisters, this past summer's blockbuster and a true inspiration for this podcast.

You can check his work on his website: http://stungboards.blogspot.com/ and follow him on social @stung_art

Have a fantastic end of the year and a great festive season! 
So You Work In Film will be back in 2025 ;-) 

For Episode 2, I had the chance to speak with Moya O'Shea who is an award winning writer, voice artist and actress.

Moya has worked in all sorts of mediums: from radio to TV to animation to theatre and she had a lot of fascinating anecdotes and stories about her work. We have had some technical difficulties whilst recording this episode but I feel the quality of the content makes up for the quality of the audio.

In this episode, I talk to Emma Dark who is a UK-based filmmaker and film director. Deeply passionate about film and creativity, Emma is working within the Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres. 
The perfect interview to kick off the podcast and spooky season!

Welcome to episode 6! 

I have had the great pleasure to chat all things prop with Sarah Galer; she is a prop supplier for the TV & Film industry and the MD of West Lea Prop Hire. 

She is also a nostalgia creator! You can visit her and her partner Wesley's warehouse and travel through time via wrappings, tins, old bottles and many more. 

And if you have any recycling that you think might be of interest to Sarah - likelihood is very high! - you can contact her via her company's website:  https://www.westleaprophire.co.uk/

For the 8th and last episode of season 1, I spoke to Sarah Little who is a producers' assistant in London.

Sarah had a very successful career in social media until 2 or so years ago. That is when she gave it all up (in a very organised and clever way!) to chase her dream to work in the film industry.

Now, she is a producers' assistant and her days are filled to the brim by a multitude of tasks, from making cracking cuppas to organising test screenings, from production meetings to teaching Scarlett Johansson how to use boil-in-the-bag rice!

It was fascinating to chat to Sarah about her career change and a lovely, inspiring way to end the first season of the podcast - here is to many more :)

Give us a follow on Instagram @so_you_work_in_film for all updates and to gives us constructive feedback.

In this episode, I chat to Steve Wilsher who is a stunt professional. He started his career in Wales in 1974 and is now living and working in Canada.

Steve has so much experience and so much anecdotes, it was really hard to edit our chat down to 40 minutes! We talked about his career, his many hats within the stunt world, Tom Cruise and his determination - the characteristic of a Welshman! 

We also had a special guest - Steve's dog - who is mentioned a few times and makes an appearance with his squeaky toy :)
