Old filmer talks to young DJ - AI, creativity, audience, genre. I learnt a lot about how film relates to music in the digital world we live in. Great to hear someone engaged and curious - concerned but with answers too.

There is a funding gap between the Arts Council of England and the British Film Institute. This podcast deep dives and tumbles beyond the headlines - what is actually available for indie movie makers? And without this being resolved how does a British movie culture develop? The Arts Council refuses to engage with filmmakers as creative artists - passing the buck to the BFI which is actually skills training for the mainstream industry, which successfully generates £12.6bn for the economy.. The BFI is not about funding creativity in movie-making in the way ACE supports the arts. So where can indie movie directors go?

Facing the errors in my practice... editing is long days facing this horror... which is rather too strong a word ha! Anyway - discussions around Sound, Framing, Focus, Performance, Cognitive Eye Movements, Camera Movement, Music and Editing. many podcasts seem to ignore the harsh personal realities of the filmmaking process so I wanted to be honest and open. Unfortunately when I first recorded this... I had not set up the audio properly! So this is the second version - less emotional, more considered.
