Podfling Radio

Another special Over&Out podcast this time featuring Andy Lewin of Manchester Haunted. We talk extensively about the paranormal, methodology and tell a few stories that cover the gamma: from self created spirit activity (induced by human energy) to superstition and the myths that go with the research field.

A talk with Matt Fittes on the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series.

Over&Out is an extension of the Podfling Radio family. These podcasts will appear in between the seasons of Podfling Radio.

Eric Dionne joins us from across the Atlantic to share with us his encounters in the entertainment industry, the paranormal scene as well as his success as a specialist in the realm of cryptozoology. Stephen and David reflect on editing, give three more youtube student film reviews and down a few snowballs in this, the last episode of the season.

Laura Hirst talks about screenwriting, and we do our best keep off the topic of the Royal Wedding which, makes us too emotional to think about, it is simpler to avoid it.
We revisit Chinatown 99, a student film we made as an omage to the original Roman Polanski, Jack Nicholson movie. Enjoy!

Making documentaries can often be about chances. Whether you are in the right place or not may or may not be under your control, but it's in the choosing, the instincts as to where you place your focus, that magic can come through.

During the Boston College years, we filmed a documentary that caught moments that marked the end of an era for cinemas of the twentieth century. Ten years later, Stephen made another short documentary film documenting the Blizzards and Flood Fight in Fargo North Dakota.

This episode includes special guest Rusty O'Nhiall who gives us the experience of film and radio production from down-under.

We've got a little deeper this time around into the world of student life in Boston. Student filmmaker Nick Briggs speaks up after 12 years to reveal all those thoughts about Dave and Stephen. Stephen discovers that his personality had gone through many battles; through arrogance, outspoken frustration, and a yearning to get student films made. Nobody got in his way, but thank goodness, he grew out of his arrogance into civility.

This episode explores the use of character actors. Bringing about that larger than life portrayal. There is also a focus once again on location hunting and the difficulties you can have when locals interrupt film shoots.

Okay, so we had it easy for that first episode, now it is time for us to do some of the work! For this episode we are looking back at our student film "The Endurance" which really is a very rough omage to the genre of war movies in general. Our scope and brief fulfilled, we really had high hopes for this one to be a drama following the life of one soldier who simply didn't belong and didn't know why he was there. We were thankfully allowed to incorperate a few pieces of "stock footage" from several movies of the same genre to provide mood that we attempted to match.

This episode explores lessons learnt from that student film tying in with part 2 of the interview with Charles Hinton and his associate Michael Ruth who cover the subject of how media/film students work with actors, with good common sense suggestions along the way that we might not neccessarily have thought about when we were students.

Episode one of this podcast includes an interview with Charles Hinton, Independant filmmaker from Fargo ND. Also hosts David Smith and Stephen Radford let you know what we're doing invading your ear drums. enjoy!
