In this third episode of The Power of Film, I spoke with the lovely Samantha Shada. She is a director, hosts the screening series Seeking Our Story, and she works at one of the big studios – a busy lady who has a lot of unique insights into the world of film! We spoke about a lot, from film in general and symbolism in film, the status quo of the studio system (and, very interesting, the current state of film marketing) to film preservation.

In this episode of The Power of Film, I had the pleasure of speaking with Eugene Sun Park, who is a producer and experimental filmmaker in Chicago. We got to chat about the Chicago film industry (and how it differs from Hollywood), his production company Full Spectrum Features and supporting filmmakers of all kinds, the film he’s producing and currently crowdfunding, Signature Move, as well as the awkward, awkward moment at the Oscars where Chris Rock brought out three stereotypical Asian American kids, and no one thought to maybe scrap that, beforehand.

I’m incredibly proud to bring to you the very first episode of the all new Film Inquiry podcast, THE POWER OF FILM.

Welcome to the third episode of our monthly film podcast. Each episode features myself (Alex Lines) as I’m joined by two of our writers each month to tackle a different film and all the questions and angles that arise from breaking down these films.

Welcome to the second episode of our monthly Film In Focus podcast. Each episode features myself (Alex Lines) as I’m joined by two of our writers each month to tackle a different film and all the questions and angles that arise from breaking down these films. To celebrate the recent hullabaloo around the 30th Anniversary of the original Back to the Future film, we decided to look back at the trilogy as a whole and wonder why they are so universally loved still.

Introducing the first episode of the tentatively titled ‘The Film Inquiry Podcast’, where each episode myself (Alex Lines) will be joined by two of our writers to pick apart and discuss a different film. In our initial episode, I’m joined with Julia Smith and Alistair Ryder, who I stupidly forgot to name in the podcast episode itself. As Julia, Alistair and I were all disappointed with the 2015 indie darling Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, we talk about what exactly we didn’t like about it and try to break down who exactly the film was aimed towards.
