Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winter Hymns - Director Nathan Deming
Q: How did you approach writing and structuring a story that unfolds in one day with multiple patients?
He explains starting with drafts focused on core patients, then shaping arcs for the doctor and nurse, and using the room setting to reveal deeper human questions through varied, intimate scenes.
Winter Hymns - Director Nathan Deming
Q: So what inspired you to make this movie?
The director describes wanting to create something epic in emotional scope within a single room, driven by the theme of death and dying and inspired by his father's career in palliative care.
Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp, Co-directors Matt Hinton & Erica Hinton
Q: What motivated you to expand a ten-minute college project into a feature-length documentary?
Initial footage and personal immersion revealed that there was much more surface to explore, and the decision to shoot more, interview more people, and incorporate archival material came from realizing the story deserved a fuller, more comprehensive presentation.
Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp, Co-directors Matt Hinton & Erica Hinton
Q: Tell me, Matt, you and Erica embarked in this journey several years ago. How did you come upon this music?
We describe a long, evolving path from stumbling upon Sacred Harp singing during a trip to Georgia, to becoming involved through college connections and shared curiosity, which grew into a full documentary project after years of fieldwork and interviews.
Louder Than Guns - Director Doug Pray
Q: Tell me a little bit about your involvement, how you came to this project, Louder Than Guns.
Doug Pray discusses how he was drawn to the project, his hesitation about overt political advocacy, and how the film uses conversation and music to bring varied perspectives together without preaching solutions.
