    #14 - DP & Colorist John Carrington III

    Today’s guest is John Carrington III, a DP and colorist in Greenville, South Carolina. Per John’s request, I added the explicit tag to the cover art of this episode, even if it isn’t actually an explicit interview. Although, he did give me an opportunity to make use of some of my sound effects. As I mention in the show, this interview was filled with "a-ha" moments for me and I’m so glad to have this conversation recorded so I can reference back to it. I know you’ll feel the same. If you are needing some inspiration to progress your own film career, look no further than this interview. In this episode, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at his work on Matthew Rojas' Short Film "DIVA". I was actually able to work G&E on this film and got to see an early cut, and I think Matthew and John were able to make real art together on this project. Go ahead and follow them on social media now because this is a film you don’t want to miss.  We also talk about John’s early days as a casino blackjack dealer, the experience of having two megachurches fight over you, free trips to China, shooting a film in Mongolia with available light, how being a colorist helped him make relationships in the industry, how investing in personal projects can land you a national commercial, the importance of being inspired by what you shoot with, taking jobs outside your comfort zone, a-ha moments, working with Dylan Hahn on Roland Lewis’ music video “WAIT”, what it’s like living in Greenville, SC as a DP and surprising his local citizens that he actually lives there. John the man and I’m so glad he was able to take time out of his busy schedule to be on the show. WARNING. Knowledge bombs will be dropped.

    #10 - DP Brent Christy

    Today’s guest is Brent Christy, a cinematographer, and director in Charlotte, North Carolina. Brent has worked on a crazy amount of projects and there's a good chance you've seen his work before, from indy shorts with the Film Riot gang, working in the electrical department in films such as Iron Man 3, and directing and dp'ing several feature films. This man can do it all. In this interview you’ll learn about Brent’s journey into filmmaking, being an incentive chaser, how to work with others on set, networking with high caliber people, comparing and contrasting collaborating with talented directors such as Shea Sizemore and previous guest Justin Robinson, Working with basically no lighting package vs large lighting packages on the films Low Country and Snowbirds, balancing family life with pursuing a film career, directing and dp-ing “western adjacent” feature films, getting the completeness of your ideas on the canvas, how the good stuff is never easy, and the power of simple encouragement. Brent is one of my heroes and it was an honor to hear about his journey in the film industry. Whether you know it or not, you’ve waited a long time for this interview.

    #9 - Writer & Director Justin Robinson

    Today’s guest on the Hometown Hollywood podcast is Justin Robinson, a writer and director in Charlotte, North Carolina. I don’t know if I have ever or will meet anyone else quite like Justin. After watching and crying through his Documentary “My Brother Jordan” which now has over 11 MILLION views and is getting crazy attention all over the world, I started watching tons of his other sketches and short films and I knew I had to get him on the show. If you haven’t seen the doc, I would recommend you watch it as soon as possible. He has a crazy journey and he’s basically worked with all my childhood filmmaking heroes through the years. If you need some motivation to work harder and to be more intentional in life and with your film career, look no further than the soothing, metaphor-filled advice Justin gives in the show.  Also, people often confuse him with Columbian Singer “Maluma '' so I thought this background music would be appropriate. In this interview, you’ll learn about Justin's crazy work ethic and sleep struggles, potential ventures in ASMR, Working with YouTube legends like Jamie Costa, Olan Rogers, Brett Driver, and more, where to seek inspiration for great dialogue, How to make filmmaking personal, his strange first encounter with Ryan Connally and the Film Riot gang, Josh Connolly’s untapped acting potential, Art the Fart, Matthew McConaughey and a desert writing cabin, and how he’s handling all the well deserved success of "My Brother Jordan". Justin is a great guy, it was an honor to hear about his journey and I learned a ton from this interview. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did so Let's get right into the show.

    #8 - Director Dylan Hryciuk

    Today’s guest is Dylan Hryciuk, a Director and basically every other role you can think of at his own film company, Versa Films in Saskatoon, a city in Saskatchewan, Canada. I’m a huge fan of Dylan’s work and I’m pretty sure I could have drilled him for hours with questions about all of his awesome projects. He’s an open book, I really believe if you are starting out on your film journey and you take notes on the things he talks about and actually try them out, your work will improve faster and you'll meet more talented people to work with. In this interview you’ll learn about how doing free work can eventually lead to landing a music video with a music label, how to approach planning your film projects, where to seek inspiration, thoughts on cameras and gear, how a negative mindset might actually be helpful in growth, how to use social media to meet filmmakers you admire, how awesome former guest Nik Pilecki is, how to secure 40+ locations for a music video and how the traditional method of slowly working your way up on a film set might not be the best option. I have this feeling that Dylan’s career is just on the verge of exploding so if you haven't already, go follow him on social media and watch him kill it in the industry. www.versafilms.ca vimeo.com/versafilms www.instagram.com/versafilms/ www.instagram.com/dylanhryciuk/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hometownhollywood/support
