UPDATED SEMIMONTHLY

My name is Dave Fairman and I’m a filmmaker - writer, director, editor, producer…occasionally poor excuse for a wardrobe consultant. Whatever it takes to get stuff made. This show is about documenting my journey as a filmmaker and that of the people I’m lucky enough to meet and work with. It's a ride-along look at how we and the people we meet do it, and the things we're thinking about along the way.

Favorite Things We Watched in 2020 with Ashley Killips

INDIEfinitive is a our ride along look at how we make films and the things we're watching along the way. This is the last episode of 2020. So we decided to jump on the bandwagon of discussing a year-end "Best Of" list. But we wanted to do it in our own way - partly because there's just too much out there for us to have watched it all and claim to know what's best. So, Ashley Killips joins to discuss our favorite shows and movies we watched in 2020. This doesn't necessarily mean released in 2020, but rather when we watched them for the first time. So since 2020 was the first year I saw the Chris Pratt/Jennifer Lawrence led "Passengers," it would technically be eligible for my list (spoiler: it didn't make it). Then we run through a few quick hit categories like our favorite acting performance, favorite new star, and more. As always, remember this is INDIEfinitive - we're not claiming this is the end-all be-all list, these are just our favorites at the time we recorded. Thanks for listening, stay safe and healthy out there and hope you enjoy the INDIEfinitive list of our favorite things we watched in 2020.

Nancy Oeswein

INDIEfinitive is a ride-along look at how we make films and the people we meet along the way. In this episode, Ashley Killips and I interview producer and screenwriter Nancy Oeswein. As we discuss, that description is probably insufficient - you could add makeup artist, wardrobe designer, location manager, production designer, casting director - the list goes on. Simply put, she wears a lot of hats. If you follow the Michigan indie film scene you may have heard Nancy's name attached to one of the many projects she's been involved with over the last several years. That includes the nine (!) feature films she's collaborated on with Harley Wallen (two of which she wrote), in addition to multiple short films and music videos. Her most recent project, which she wrote and produced, is titled a "A Bennett Song Holiday." This film was a sequel to the successful Michigan indie film "Bennett's Song" and was released last month on vod. She shared a lot of great perspective on producing and what it means to get stuff made in the indie film space. Thanks for listening, stay healthy out there and hope you enjoy our chat with Nancy Oeswein.

Favorite Scary Movies with Ashley Killips

Happy Halloween! It's good to be back. We had a bit of a break during August and September while working on a new film project. We've got an episode coming soon that'll go into more detail on that entire process. But for now, given it's the spooky season, we decided to talk scary movies instead! Ashley Killips joins me to discuss our five favorite scary films. I am admittedly not a connoisseur when it comes to this type of movie, so please feel free to send me snarky messages about how limited my list is. BUT, there are a few that really mean a lot to me, and those are the ones I cover. As you'll hear, this topic is much more in Ashley's wheelhouse. As always, remember this is INDIEfinitive - we're not claiming this is the end-all be-all list, these are just our favorite at the time we recorded. Thanks for listening, stay safe and healthy out there and hope you enjoy the INDIEfinitive list of our favorite scary movies.

Favorite Movie Quotes with Ashley Killips

INDIEfinitive is a look at how we make films and what we're thinking about along the way. When first starting this podcast, the idea was to document the process of making films. And then... well then coronavirus happened and making stuff really took a back seat. We've got some new projects coming and hope to be able to talk about the steps soon. But in the meantime, since the focus the last few months has really been on writing, Ashley Killips is back and we're going to focus on some components of writing - great movie quotes that we really love. Of the topics we've done, or even discussed, this one may have the most potential to be flawed because there are so many great options out there. But we're tackling it nonetheless. As always, remember this is INDIEfinitive - we're not claiming this is the end-all be-all list, these are just our favorite at the time we recorded. Thanks for listening, stay safe and healthy out there and hope you enjoy the INDIEfinitive list of our favorite movie quotes.

Justin Mane

INDIEfinitive is a look at how we make films and the people we're lucky enough to meet and work with along the way In this episode, I talk with Justin Mane. Justin is an actor, wrestler, stuntman and now producer based primarily out of metro Detroit. As we discuss, in 2014 he had the opportunity to be an extra on Jurassic World. And choosing to jump at that chance was the moment that really kicked his pursuit of acting and filmmaking into motion. He's worked on several other features including 2017's Detroit and 2019's Eternal Code. He's also done a ton of short films and commercial work. This year he produced and acted in a Crow short fan film, and we'll talk all about the process making that come to life. And if that wasn't enough, we get to talk wrestling too. So thanks for listening, stay healthy out there and hope you enjoy my chat with Justin Mane SHOW NOTES: INDIEfinitive now on YouTube Justin Mane’s Website Justin Mane vs Ryback WWE Match Jurassic World Hollywood Winners Circle (Acting Course) Detroit Eternal Code Revenge of the Mask The Crow (1994) Crow (short) Justin Mane on Instagram Dave Fairman on Instagram and Twitter

Travis Hayward

INDIEfinitive is a look at how we make films and the people we're lucky enough to meet and work with along the way. In this episode, I talk with filmmaker Travis Hayward. Travis made an appearance on episode 08 when we talked about some of our favorite movie villains from the 2000s. It was a lot of fun, but in this in this episode we're focusing more on career stuff. Travis is an extremely talented director and cinematographer. He's worked on commercials, music videos, short films, feature films, travel tv shows - he's really had a wide array of experiences and as a result has a lot of great knowledge to share. He was also the director of photography on our feature film DEBT. I learned a lot from him during that process and have enjoyed working with him on several other projects since then. So thanks for listening, stay safe and healthy out there, and hope you enjoy my chat with Travis Hayward.

INDIEfinitive Episode 00: TRAILER

Hello I’m Dave Fairman and this is INDIEfinitive. I’m a filmmaker - writer, director, editor, producer…occasionally a prop master, fight choreographer, or poor excuse for a wardrobe consultant. Whatever it takes to get stuff made. And that’s what this show is really about: it’s about documenting my journey as a filmmaker and that of the people I’m lucky enough to work with. It's a look at how we do it, the only way I know how. Hope you'll come along with us. I don’t claim to know all the answers. This isn't your definitive guide to filmmaking. This is INDIEfinitive.
