Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 1781: Filmmaker/Actor Jason Stuart (REDLINING)
Q: What role did production design play in capturing the era?
A dedicated production team sourced authentic props, collaborated on period-accurate wardrobes, and used aging makeup and set decoration to convincingly transport the audience to 1970s Georgia, while keeping the focus on the family's story.
EP. 1781: Filmmaker/Actor Jason Stuart (REDLINING)
Q: What is Redlining about, in simple terms for someone who hasn't seen it?
Redlining centers on two families living in a Georgia town during the 1970s and uses their experiences to illustrate the long reach of housing discrimination and racial segregation, while staying focused on personal choices and family dynamics.
EP. 1780: Screenwriter Tony B. Richard (DEFYING GRAVITY)
Q: Do you want to expand on your sci-fi script and what you mean by that?
Richard argues that the script is best understood as a character-driven piece under the soft sci-fi umbrella, focusing on human relationships and conflicts rather than just technology.
EP. 1782: Screenwriter Russell Babcock (THE MEMORY TAX & THE HOLMES ENIGMA)
Q: What inspired the memory-implant premise and its big ethical questions?
The concept grew out of conversations about how modern technology changes memory and knowledge, prompting a narrative about what we might lose when information becomes endlessly accessible.
EP. 1774: Screenwriter Candace Egan (DESERT BELLES)
Q: Tell me about your screenwriting progress. When did you start writing screenplays?
She describes starting in earnest around 2019, teaching at a university, taking a sabbatical to study narrative screenwriting, and then expanding into multiple projects and eventually finishing a tennis-based pilot that evolved into a feature.
