26 augustus 2015 · 1 uur 20 min
For the last 10 years or so, Cinematographer Mateo Londono and I have made dozens of great spots together. Sometimes, we barely talk on set, and instead smile in agreement. After all, we've worked everything out ahead of time, so the shoot day is about executing that plan, and I am free to focus on performances while Mateo captures it. Lees meer
We talk about how style is informed by the creative, of course. And as Mateo has a feature career, we discuss the differences between shooting movies and commercials. Basically, this is another fun chat between two old friends, and I promise you'll enjoy it.

22 augustus 2015 · 1 uur 14 min
Jack Plotnick's philosophy towards creativity is so spiritually aligned with my own, that I think we might have been separated at birth.

Then I discovered his directorial debut, the feature film "Space Station 76". Lees meer

Most of all, Jack rejects the negativity that can hound us in the biz. In his words, "the world is going to rain shit down on you sometimes, but keep going cuz it's also going to give you great gifts along your way." Enjoy and check out "Space Station 76" on iTunes.

Cinematographer Alex Jacobs may be the last director of photography I've ever met that learned while shooting actual 35mm film.

Ours was an arranged marriage on a promo shoot with Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, in which we had 35 minutes to shoot. Lees meer

11 april 2015 · 1 uur 3 min
Director Joe Wladyka has an engaging film out called "Manos Sucias". It's the suspenseful story of two Columbian brothers on a life or death drug run up the Columbian coast.

Mos Def, Marvin Gaye and Amerigo Gazaway Bring The Funk To Apple.
19 februari 2015 · 1 uur 10 min
Hip Hop impresario Amerigo Gazaway is one of my favorite music producers. He reworks samples and records so that his songs transcend both original recordings. Furthermore, an Amerigo Gazaway albums tell a story, like LP's did back in the vinyl days. Moreover, it's his love for his source material and his authenticity that resinates with listeners. Bombarded with cease-and-desist letters for sampling, it all changed when Apple chose his Mos Def/Marvin Gaye retooling into a "Yasiin Gaye" song "You Are Undeniable" for a commercial. (Click the link to get on iTunes.) It's the first unauthorized mashup to be used for a major brand, and a landmark breakthrough for hip hop. Lees meer
Watch this Apple Computer TV spot "Jason's Verse" to hear the funky "Yasiin Gaye" track.

How To Define Your Creative Space with Spot Director Kevin Donovan.
2 februari 2015 · 1 uur 23 min
I met commerical and feature Director Kevin Donovan at a Christmas party and we hit it off. A former agency creative, Kevin learned so much on set, working with great directors like Mark Story and the incomparable Joe Pytka. He's learned to create a nice creative space for himself to deliver the best work, and we discuss balancing serving the agency agenda, while remaining creatively stingy for the reel. A great chat.

Filmmaker Deon Taylor Directs Danny Glover in "Supremacy".
28 januari 2015 · 32 min
I got a sneak peek at Deon Taylor's new film "Supremacy" starring Danny Glover, Joe Anderson, and Dawn Olivieri ("House of Lies"). It's about a white supremacist just out of the clink. He shoots a cop, goes on the lamb, and invades Danny Glover's house. Drama and self-examination ensue. Really well-made film, regardless of just a one million dollar budget. Deon shares his approach, choices and passion in this wonderful chat. Support this filmmaker. See "Supremacy" which opens Friday, January 30th, 2015. Click here for showtimes. Lees meer

From Editing Commercials To Directing Them with Mark Nickelsburg.
19 januari 2015 · 1 uur 4 min
Mark Nickelsburg shall forever live in my heart for dubbing “Respect The Process with Jordan Brady” as the “Rosetta Stone of Filmmaking.” Got to love that. More importantly, Mark has successfully transitioned from the editor’s chair to the director’s monitor. What are benefits and surprises on set, after years of editorial wisdom? I think it’s very interesting path, and thanks Mark. Lees meer
We both had short films (my “Harold’s Bad Day” and his “Harry Grows Up”) in the Friar’s Comedy Film Festival the same year, but never met. Later, Festival Programmer and filmmaker Eric Johnson suggested we meet.

30 december 2014 · 1 uur 28 min
Mr. Larry Jordan is the one person that has always been there for me, to answer every production question. His 35 years plus of experience are readily found whenever you google a question about directing, editing, shooting, lighting, audio, and his courses cover the gamut of production, post and theory. Please check them out if you're serious about upping your game. Lees meer
His podcast "2 Reel Guys" is highly recommended, and his classes on Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro CC are phenomenal. Click Larry Jordan for more info on that.
We discuss editing comedy vs. horror, film school vs. the real world, and the need for self-discipline, among other things. Larry's definition of "respecting the process" is a bit unique, and I promise you'll gain much from this talk. Big thanks Larry for joining me.
I've also listed my Top Ten Downloaded Episodes of 2014. You can find them in the Archives on this site, or easily here, on the Sideshow Network. Big thanks to all my guests. Look forward to more great chats in 2015.

I ask the filmmakers about their choices. Who to follow, how they engaged people, and why this story. It's an eye opening film that we can all relate to. See this in a theater with other human beings. Here's the Facebook page: "Remote Area Medical".

Moonlighting In Communist Romania To Agency Producing In NYC with Saatchi &Saatchi's Radu Olievschi.
2 december 2014 · 1 uur 1 min
I met Radu Olievschi, a wonderful agency producer at Saacthi & Saatchi NYC, this summer and was intrigued with not just his journey to America, but his immense passion for filmmaking. Growing up in communist Romania did not lend itself to to becoming a filmmaker, let alone a producer at an ad agency (especially unlikely since the one hour of State-run tv had no advertising), but Radu knew early on it was his destiny. Enjoy Radu's story and hear the passion in his telling. Lees meer
Here's a PSA Radu produced. A favorite of mine directed by Seth Gordon.

They're a newly conjoined creative team, and it's already crystal clear that it's a great fit, given the way they crank out quality scripts that sell. I'm grateful for their oddball minds as well as their friendship. Lees meer
