  1. MIAMI INTERNATIONAL Sci-Fi FILM FESTIVAL ⚡ APOTHEOSIS

    04/01/2023

    MIAMI INTERNATIONAL Sci-Fi FILM FESTIVAL ⚡ APOTHEOSIS

    It’s that time of year again when we hand the show off to Troy Bernier, Director of the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival! As we prepare for 2023’s event (April 14th-16 at the James L. Knight Center / Hyatt Regency Miami) we look back at a fascinating entry from 2022; Apotheosis. Troy sat down with the creators, director Max Pearce along with fellow co-writer and producer Maria Sara Santoro, to discuss their short film.   SYNOPSYS: Selene, a young aerospace engineer, dreams of going to space, but was born naturally in this near-future society where the first generation of genetically engineered humans has come of age and has more privileges than those born like Selene. When her mother loses her job, Selene decides to compete against these genetically engineered humans in order to secure a job position on the first habitable space colony, Rusk Venture's Ourania. However, she'll be competing against her friend Fabrizio, Rusk's engineered son. Their friendship is pushed to the limit as their willpower and determination are put to the test.

  6. Exile on Williams St. LP2 Adult Swim's Ned Hastings

    08/30/2022

    Exile on Williams St. LP2 Adult Swim's Ned Hastings

    Adult Swim’s Ned Hastings continues his time on Thunder Talk with more anecdotes and insights from his storied carrier at Williams Street, including more on the upcoming film “Aqua Teen FOREVER: Plantasm”. As a senior sound editor, Ned discusses the creative DNA that indelibly bonds to any project the sound editor contributes to and, in many cases, lives on into the future. Though the comparison would be that of a world renowned maestro to a child spitting into a kazoo, Dan felt a profound association with Ned’s explanation of the intimate connections he’s formed with the actors, characters, and material during the sound editing process. Dan only realized this, however, while he was sound editing Ned for this episode. Oh, and they’re both ridiculously addicted to Star Wars Toys! They talk about that too.   Matt Rozo – FEVR, also returns with that sweet synth sound and continues to lend the sounds of his hopes & fears to the Exile on Williams St. soundtrack. In our second interview we take a deeper dive into his musical catalog and he drops the latest single off his new album, “Suffer”!   All that, plus the whole gang keeps the geek-out going with caddy chit-chats ranging from The Walking Dead, Star Wars, streaming services, SC Comicon, etc… One person’s trope is another person’s identity, tonight on the second album of our Season 5 Premier: Exile on Williams St. LP2 💿 Adult Swim's Ned Hastings The ESO Network  esonetwork.com www.patreon.com/esonetwork facebook.com/groups/esonetwork Instagram:@eso_network Twitter: @ESONetwork feedback@esonetwork.com   Ned Hastings #MrHastingsHasAnInstagramAndProbablyAFacebookPageButHe’sNotPersonallyTryingToSellAnythingOrBlowUpTheInternetExceptWithPicsOfHisSleepingDogsItsNotThatHe’sNotTryingToMakeFriendsButIThinkHePerfersToLetHisProfessionalWorkSpeakForItselfIMean,AdultSwim,Right!?!JustWatchAdultSwim,MaybeCheckOutTheNewAquaTeenMovieAndKnowThatIfHeCould,NedWouldGiveEachAndEveryOneOfYouATenderKissOnTheForeheadAndEvenShareASliceOfHis HawaiianPizza.com Adult Swim 🥤 Aqua Teen FOREVER: Plantasm https://www.amazon.com/Aqua-Teen-Forever-Carey-Means/dp/B0B788SBH9 @adultswim adultswim.com facebook.com/adultswim/ It's Adult Swim, dude.
