Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

No Trade Mag, No History Book. Logan Gruidl Is Fixing That.
Q: What is The Trailer Brief and what inspired you to start it?
The Trailer Brief is a bi-weekly newsletter documenting the trailer industry, with a focus on the people and projects shaping it, and a mission to educate readers about past and present practices.

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.
