Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 1792: Screenwriter Nathan Corpus (ON THE LINE)
Q: What inspired the culinary world angle and the diner-to-dining-room arc?
He drew on Top Chef experiences and stories from the culinary world, creating a character who evolves from a diner background into the fine dining scene, blending personal experiences with industry narratives.
EP. 1792: Screenwriter Nathan Corpus (ON THE LINE)
Q: When did you start dabbling in screenwriting?
He started seriously around the previous year, leaving a day job to pursue writing and founding a production company, which helped rekindle his creative momentum.
EP. 1800: Producer Nicholas Kusmich (UNbecoming)
Q: How did your background in marketing influence the filmmaking process?
Our marketing experience helped us fund and distribute the project, while the storytelling approach evolved through collaboration with a director and a team that treated the project as a living experiment rather than a conventional documentary.
EP. 1800: Producer Nicholas Kusmich (UNbecoming)
Q: What inspired you to make a film about unbecoming rather than becoming?
We wanted to explore whether true fulfillment comes from amassing more or stripping away pretense to discover who we really are, a journey that required traveling, interviewing scientists, philosophers, and monks, and putting our own lives into the lens of the film.
EP. 1791: Filmmaker/Animator Ying Lei Zhang (WISHFEATHER)
Q: Oh, wow. Okay. So tell me about this film. First of all, have you made an animation film before this?
Yes, I've made several smaller 2D animations and one larger 2D/3D animated film for my animation honours at university, bringing a lot of experience into Wish Feather.
