Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Film is Spiritual with Tenzing Writer Luke Davies
Q: Do you write from inside out or do you plot structure first and then flesh out characters?
Davies describes a methodical, plot-forward approach with a strong architectural framework, then developing characters within that structure, while also nurturing moments where scenes come alive with emotion.
Why Film is Spiritual with Tenzing Writer Luke Davies
Q: What does being a poet give to you as a scriptwriter? What does that lens provide as a writer of a film?
Davies explains that poetry compresses and minimizes to convey essence efficiently, and while screenplay is a technical blueprint, it can still carry poetic, emotionally resonant tone when balanced with clarity.
The Creative Process of Composer Volker Bertelmann
Q: How do you choose, yes, I'm going to commit my time and energy to this?
I decide by reading the script and having an initial, fast and honest conversation with the director and creatives; if the energy and vision feel right, I say yes, and I only push through if the project's alignment and my schedule permit it.
Oscar Winning Composer Volker Bertelmann on Reimagining Sound
Q: How do you see the role of a composer in drama and on film and TV?
He describes the job as a blend of psychological sensitivity, collaboration, and musical intuition—finding a voice that aligns with the director's vision while remaining distinct; music should support the film without overpowering the actors, and it's often about creating connective tissue and pre/post-shadowing to shape the audience's emotional journey.
Oscar Winning Composer Volker Bertelmann on Reimagining Sound
Q: Can you tell me, what's the difference between Hauschka and Volker Bertelmann as two creative identities?
Volker explains that Hauschka started as a way to detach from commercial pressures and explore a punk-informed, experimental approach, while Volker's film/TV scoring work represents a more integrated role where collaboration with directors and serving the narrative takes center stage; over time he shifted to using his real name for film work while Hauschka remains a separate artistic project.
