The Film Gods – Détails, épisodes et analyse

EP100. Jim Dowdall. Stunt Coordinator.

When we started this podcast in 2019, the idea was to give film students a direct line to members of film crew who are further ahead in their chosen careers; hearing their stories and learning from their experiences. When the world stopped in 2020, the ‘experienced’ in the film industry had time to chat. This episode was recorded in May 2020 and we knew it was destined to be our 100th episode.

Jim’s story and his entry into, exit from, and return to the film industry demonstrate that there really is no ‘one true path’ to becoming a crew member. Encouraged to leave school, running off to join the circus, a stint in the parachute regiment, working as an armourer – all unexpected experiences that conspired together to give Jim the tools for success: a thirst to learn, the ability to move forward and accepting every opportunity that came his way. 

In the words of Steve Jobs, “it’s only looking back that we can connect the dots”.  And, connect the dots we do, with Jim’s amazing stories and anecdotes about film super stars who paved the way for generations they would never meet.

Thank you Film Family for giving this an audience. We truly love what we do and we thank you for giving us your precious time each episode.

Hi Film Family.

 

Im Isusko Garcia, aka the Time Scheduler and creator of the Film Gods podcast.

In the summer of 2019 I had the urge to start giving back anyway I could to the industry I love, the film industry. I wanted to create a place that kids looking to gain knowledge about the industry, film students looking for real life stories and runners looking to step up a website that could help. So I built the timescheduler.com.

 

The more I asked friends in the game for their stories, the more I realised there was an untapped well here, so decided to create the Film Gods podcast.

 

Its a chat with industry professionals telling us their stories of how they got in, what they do, their advice for their younger selves and then a little story to finish off.

 

I hope you have as much fun listening to these as I have had recording them.

 

The Film Gods podcast was mainly recorded at Island studios. Produced by Isusko Garcia. Music created by Mr D-Grade, Sound engineered by David Fogarty.  Explicit language is used at times.

#FilmGodsPodcast Ep90: Showcase / Jordan Minga   A great chat with a student from LSA. Jordan is the third of three students from LSA to showcase themselves on the Film Gods. Time to help out the next generation Film Family.    And he asked the question "What has been your most difficult day?" Really got me thinking. Say my piece in the intro.   Enjoy, subscribe and share. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-film-gods/id1500760776   Big love x Isusko #podcast #filmcrew #filminterview #filmgods #commercials #film #filmstudent   www.thetimescheduler.com thetimescheduler@gmail.com    

#FilmGodsPodcast Ep89: Grant Sandy-Phillips / Steadicam Operator   With the dream of wanting to be a director, the realisation that he needed to expand his knowledge led him to being a runner on set. We talk about the importance of those years and how hard it was to jump into camera team with no camera background. A wonderful ep with a lovely man for the new gen and experienced crew alike.

#FilmGodsPodcast Ep88: Kai Sehr / Director   As a young man he knew what he wanted to do, and his story is one of going out and getting it done. Its also about learning as you go and following your gut. A must listen for any aspiring director but also any next gen film crew. The path isn't straight forward. I'll end with Kai's email quote in his signature. “Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.” Erich Fromm   (Recorded 18th June 2020)   Enjoy, subscribe and share. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-film-gods/id1500760776   Big love x Isusko #podcast #filmcrew #filminterview #filmgods #commercials #film #filmstudent #director #rodeo #cowboy   www.thetimescheduler.com thetimescheduler@gmail.com        

#FilmGodsPodcast Ep87: Eve Carreño / Focus Puller   Starting with a love on photography she left Spain and came to Scotland where her path into the film industry began. We touch base on the usefulness of a uni degree, how a bad habit can help make friends and her training of smuggling food and drink into all forbidden sets and locations since 2007.   (Recorded 17th July 2020)     Enjoy, subscribe and share. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-film-gods/id1500760776     Big love x Isusko #podcast #filmcrew #filminterview #filmgods #commercials #film #filmstudent #camera #focuspuller   www.thetimescheduler.com thetimescheduler@gmail.com        

#FilmGodsPodcast Ep86: Mr Gammon / Costume Designer   @mrgammon @commercialstyling @unitedagents_btl    A man I've had the privilege of working with many times. His infectious energy and an eye for detail keeps everything on point. We talk about where the journey into costume and fashion designing started, how he runs a job and the importance of selling the look in the fittings. We also find out how he got the name. A brilliant chat!
