Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to film composers: Michelle Birsky and Kevin Henthorn. They just scored the new Netflix series' Terminator: Zero. I ask questions this episode. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of music composition, specifically focusing on our favorite scores and the creative processes behind them. One of my personal highlights was the song 'It'll Never Be the Same,' which felt incredibly special to us as we created it in a void, making it uniquely ours. I also share my excitement about the first cue in episode three, 'Emergence,' where I explored the character of the Terminator as a serial killer. This was a thrilling experience that allowed me to stretch my creativity and dive into the moodiness of the score.

As we discuss our favorite scores, I mention how Mizaki's theme stood out for its dynamic range and the joy of recording it with a choir, reminiscent of my acapella days in college. We also touch on the potential for future seasons and how we can evolve our character themes, tailoring them to fit the scenes more effectively.

Throughout our conversation, we reflect on the works of renowned composers like Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Johan Johansson, sharing our admiration for their unique styles. I express my desire to explore more indie projects, moving away from the sci-fi genre that often dominates our work. We also discuss the importance of having a routine, both in the morning and at night, to foster creativity and maintain balance in our lives.

As we wrap up, I encourage viewers to check out our scores on Spotify, including 'Terminator Zero' and 'Mother Android.' This episode is a celebration of music, creativity, and the joy of collaboration. Thank you for joining us, and don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insights into the world of music composition.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this video, I talk about Riker's Choice and how it has evolved over time. Initially, I approached it with a focus on the character of Riker, who is a deep and beautiful character despite her youth and the grief she carries. Throughout the season, Riker undergoes a significant transformation, and I wanted to capture that journey musically. The vocal melody remains consistent, but the emotional weight shifts from longing and grief to determination and survival. I loved the idea of starting her theme acapella, which allowed for a powerful introduction to her character. As we progressed, we incorporated various elements, including a unique synth that adds an Eastern sound, enhancing the emotional depth of her arc.

Riker's theme is intricately tied to her relationship with her mother, which adds layers to her character. The music reflects her struggles and growth, especially in moments where she confronts her past. I remember listening to the music and feeling overwhelmed with emotion, particularly during scenes that evoke memories of her mother. The creative process involved collaboration and exploration, where we drew inspiration from various films and themes to shape the sound of the series.

One of the most challenging aspects was crafting the score for pivotal scenes, such as the police station moment, where we aimed to create a heartbeat-like rhythm that matched the intensity of the action. This project allowed us to take our time, explore different ideas, and ultimately create a score that resonates with the audience. The support from the team, especially from Mattson, was invaluable, as it encouraged us to be bold and innovative in our approach. I believe that the time and effort invested in this project will ensure that it stands the test of time, as it captures the heart and soul of the story. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and please like, share, and subscribe for more insights into the music behind the series.

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to Paul Todisco. He is a director and we are talking his visual style, Star Wars, and directing actors. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy.

I wanted to create a visually poetic film that tells a story through imagery. In my latest project, I emphasized the importance of visuals in filmmaking, drawing inspiration from great directors like Antonioni. I believe that imagery can convey deeper meanings and emotions, often more effectively than dialogue. This approach allows the audience to connect with the film on a more profound level, evoking archetypes and feelings that resonate with their own experiences. However, I also recognize the challenges that come with this method. Many filmmakers make the mistake of trying to appeal to everyone, which can dilute the authenticity of the film. It's crucial to stay true to your vision and not compromise for the sake of a broader audience. This is a lesson I learned through my experiences in the industry, especially when observing films that feel forced or inauthentic. The recent trend of focus-grouping films can lead to a loss of artistic integrity, resulting in movies that lack depth and originality. I strive to avoid this pitfall by ensuring that every element of my film serves a purpose and contributes to the overall narrative. My process involves extensive planning and rehearsal, allowing me to work closely with both trained actors and non-actors to achieve honest performances. By dedicating time to rehearsals, we can explore the characters and their arcs, ensuring that the final product is both engaging and meaningful. I believe that the essence of filmmaking lies in the ability to create a genuine connection with the audience, and that starts with a strong vision and commitment to the craft. Join me as I share my insights and experiences in the world of filmmaking, and learn how you too can create stunning visuals that resonate with viewers.

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to Paul Todisco. He is a director and we are talking his film: One Day Like Rain which has a young Jesse Eisenberg. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this video, I delve into the concept of 'One Day Like Rain' and how my fascination with mysticism shaped its creation. Ever since my mid-20s, I have been drawn to the mystical aspects of life, exploring various religious texts and mystical literature. This journey led me to read works by renowned authors like Sri Aurobindo, Ken Wilber, and William Irwin Thompson, who beautifully intertwine history, science, and spirituality. My obsession with these themes naturally flowed into my creative process, culminating in the film 'One Day Like Rain.'

The film was shot in Southern California, with key scenes filmed in Fillmore and downtown LA. I financed the project independently, with the support of friends, and managed to create a compelling narrative on a budget significantly lower than my previous film, 'Freak Talks About Sex.' The experience of shooting on film, particularly Super 16, added a unique aesthetic that I believe enhances the storytelling.

Throughout the video, I discuss the meditative quality of the film and how it aims to evoke a deeper emotional response from the audience. I share insights into the character development and the importance of authenticity in dialogue, emphasizing that the characters reflect real-life experiences and emotions. The film invites viewers to engage with its themes on a personal level, encouraging them to explore their own understanding of love, existence, and the human experience.

I also touch on the challenges of creating an independent film that defies conventional storytelling, aiming instead to offer a unique perspective that resonates with those who are attuned to its mystical elements. The reception of 'One Day Like Rain' has been mixed, with some viewers deeply connecting with its themes while others struggle to grasp its abstract nature. Ultimately, my goal is to create an experience that transcends traditional narrative structures and invites viewers to explore the infinite possibilities of consciousness.

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to Paul Todisco. He is a director and we are talking his film: Freak Talks About Sex. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. This is part three. So, how does Freak Talks About Sex come about? It all started when I was searching for my first movie to make. I met Jim Daddabo, a good friend of mine now, who produced Freak Talks About Sex. We bonded over our shared hometown of Syracuse and his college roommate's unpublished novel, which inspired the film. The journey to finance the movie was challenging, taking two years and involving various investors. We shot it on 35mm Panavision cameras, a point of pride for us at the time. The film captures the essence of Syracuse living and the struggles of young adulthood, reminiscent of films like Kicking and Screaming and Clerks. I aimed for authenticity in the dialogue, ensuring it felt real and relatable. The film explores themes of apathy and the longing for escape, resonating with today's generation. Despite some challenges with the final cut and music choices, I believe the heart and soul of the film remain intact. The title, Freak Talks About Sex, was a fun and quirky choice, but it faced pushback from distributors who wanted to change it to something less provocative. This experience highlights the conservative attitudes towards such topics in the industry at the time. Overall, I hope the film speaks to viewers and encourages them to reflect on their own lives and choices.

Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. This is part two. I chose to attend the University of Southern California (USC) because it represented an escape from my life in Syracuse. The allure of California, with its golden sunshine and vibrant film industry, was irresistible. I had been accepted to prestigious schools like Cornell and NYU, but USC felt like the right fit for me. It was a place where I could explore my creativity and immerse myself in a community of like-minded individuals. My time at USC was transformative; I embraced my independence and formed lasting friendships with fellow creatives. We still collaborate and support each other to this day. The program itself was solid, though like any university, it had its areas for improvement. However, I believe that the value of a university experience lies in what you make of it. At USC, I was inspired by professors like Drew Casper, who opened my eyes to the artistry of filmmaking. He introduced me to classic films and taught me to appreciate the nuances of visual storytelling. I remember being captivated by Judy Garland's performances and the groundbreaking techniques of directors like Vincent Minnelli. My passion for film grew as I delved into the works of great filmmakers, including David Lynch, whose unique style continues to influence my own work. I believe that creativity thrives in environments that encourage experimentation and authenticity. As I reflect on my journey, I encourage you to pursue your creative passions and seek out experiences that inspire you. Whether it's through formal education or self-exploration, the key is to remain open to new ideas and perspectives. Embrace the journey, and you may just discover your own unique voice in the world of storytelling.

"I discovered my passion for filmmaking in suburbia. Growing up in North Syracuse, New York, I often felt isolated and disconnected from the world around me. The lack of cultural opportunities and the mundane routine of suburban life left me yearning for something more. It was during this time that I found solace in storytelling, inspired by the works of great filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and writers like Stephen King. My childhood experiences, including a supernatural encounter that I had at a young age, fueled my desire to explore the unknown and break free from the confines of everyday life.

As I navigated my teenage years, I became increasingly fascinated with the art of filmmaking. I realized that I wanted to tell stories that resonated with others, stories that captured the essence of the human experience. My supportive parents encouraged my artistic pursuits, exposing me to various forms of art, music, and literature. I began to see the world through a different lens, one that allowed me to appreciate the beauty in the mundane and the extraordinary.

In this video, I share my journey from a small-town boy with big dreams to a filmmaker who creates compelling narratives that reflect the complexities of life. I discuss the influences that shaped my artistic vision, including my love for horror films and the impact of my childhood experiences. Join me as I explore the intersection of art and life, and discover how you too can unlock your creative potential, no matter where you come from. Let's embark on this journey together and find inspiration in the stories that surround us every day."
