Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IFWT #162 - Interview w/ underground filmmaker Richard Baylor
Q: Why did you stop making films in the early 90s, and what brought you back later?
A mix of family responsibilities, a demanding day job, legal and distribution pressures, and concerns about police and censorship, which paused film production; later, encouragement from Saturn's Core and collaborations rekindled discussion and occasional new work.
IFWT #162 - Interview w/ underground filmmaker Richard Baylor
Q: Was the intention to always be in front of the camera as well as behind it when you started?
Yes, necessity and circumstance; early filmmaking involved showing up, directing, and appearing in scenes because there wasn't a ready-made crew, and over time he embraced acting in some works while focusing on production overall.
IFWT #162 - Interview w/ underground filmmaker Richard Baylor
Q: What brought you to these shores all those years ago in 1984?
A combination of youth culture fascination, love across borders, and military service opportunities; the move was driven by a search for a place where the punk and counterculture scenes could thrive, which led to embedding in the UK scene after joining the Air Force.
IFWT #156 - Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trickbaby [ft. author Tony O'Neill
Q: How did your own background influence the themes you see in Freeway 2 and Six City?
Tony discusses growing up in Blackburn, moving to LA, struggles with addiction, and how those experiences shaped his writing and the noir/underground sensibilities that echo in the film.
IFWT #151 - A Desert (2024) [ft. Dir Joshua Erkman]
Q: What inspired the desert setting as a core force in the story?
The guest explains that the desert is a living, paradoxical landscape—harsh yet healing, capable of forcing a protagonist to confront hidden urges. The environment becomes a mirror for the characters' inner conflicts and the film's thematic exploration of creation, risk, and transformation.
