Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Monica Brady | Co-Founder & Exec. Producer, Golden Trailer Awards
Q: Where do you see the industry heading with AI and technology?
Monica and Cory discuss a bullish outlook: AI and agentic systems will automate repetitive tasks but will not replace human creativity; the industry will use tools to enhance storytelling, with humans focusing on empathy, artistry, and connection to audiences.
Monica Brady | Co-Founder & Exec. Producer, Golden Trailer Awards
Q: What prompted you and Evelyn to start the Golden Trailer Awards in the first place?
Monica Brady explains that after graduating NYU, they attempted to make a feature and trailer; lacking a directory, they created an awards show to connect editors and filmmakers, which grew organically from guerilla efforts to a formal event.
Benj Thall: From Child Actor to Editor, Creative Director, Screenwriter
Q: What makes your approach to editing trailers transferable to feature editing?
He highlights his ability to sculpt music and performance, work with stems, and collaborate with composers and music supervisors to shape tone—skills that translate well when transitioning from trailer to feature projects like Monument.
Benj Thall: From Child Actor to Editor, Creative Director, Screenwriter
Q: How did you first get into the trailer world after acting?
Benj explains he shifted from acting to production and editing after college, starting at a small trailer shop and learning from senior editors, which sparked his passion for creating and shaping trailers.
From Staples Center to The Shop: Jordan Hayman on Building a Career Without a Roadmap
Q: What was the turning point that made you pursue running your own shop?
After building a solid foundation and a broad network in the industry, I felt ready to lead and saw an opportunity to combine my relationships, industry knowledge, and a team of all-stars to create something scalable and creative.
