Making it in Movie Making Richard Fysh

Pedro Flores Maldonado had a smash hit in 2020, right before the pandemic with his first feature film "Sí, Mi Amor" being the most successful film in cinemas in Peru that year. He has since produced 2 sequels and another original film - all of which are on Netflix. He's recently completed a documentary, Orígena, that's freely available and he just keeps going with more projects to come. We had a chat about finding that success and his continuing journey. This episode is in Spanish, so I've included the link to Pedro's English Wikipedia page which lists his work for you to explore if you don't speak Spanish (and you can watch the films subtitled on Netflix). Back to English next time with another exciting guest.

This week I speak to long time friend and sometimes collaborator Tony Coughlan about his career, the road from amateur to professional actor and the range of projects he's involved with from the Batman/film noir inspired Mr. Justice, to IRA drama Awaken: The Patrick O'Connor Story right up to his role in the recent smash hit Paramount+ series Knuckles. We also go all the way back down to earth (and into space) with our collaboration, the James Bond parody, Dr. No-Means-Yes. This is a great episode for any aspiring actor to listen to. Full of insights, and only occasionally do we meander into things like Goldfinger in 4K (ok, film fans talk about films sometimes!)

Learn more about the film, its creation, how it's being promoted, and where you might be able to see it.

Today I talk to Bob Golibersuch, president and founder of The Screening Room Cinema and Arts Café. Bob has over thirty years of experience running his own cinema, and as such is a central figure in the Buffalo independent filmmaking scene. He has always supported local artists (my film What You Can't Promise premiered there) and has even hosted a few film festivals at the venue, but its main charm is the opportunity to see a huge range of classics from all genres (going all the way back to the 1920s up to the present) on the big screen. There are also live events and private hires for many purposes. It's just a fantastic place to hang out if ever you have the opportunity to visit. Learn about the history of the cinema, and Bob's story, right here. You might also find yourself inspired to set up your own cinema. If so, Bob offers consultancy in that area too.

Christian Dines talks all about his cinematic adventures to date. Filmmaking, acting, editing, the state of the indie industry (indiestry?), it's all here. From 1999 to now, this is a solid history for anyone just starting out, and good advice and insight for the rest of us.

This is the shameless promotional episode, but it's also an outline for the future of the podcast, and a little bit about myself.
