A Brief History of Cinema – A Circa Podcast Collaboration [SE13]

March 15, 2016 By Ron Dawson

This week we premiere our first podcast collaboration with the Circa Podcast as we look at a history of cinema.

Last summer when interviewing David Shulman, executive director of the Seattle Film Institute, we got into a lively discussion about how the history of cinema, in many ways, has come full circle. I wanted to explore this idea, so I enlisted the help of Zac Lovelace, creator and host of another 6-month old podcast, Circa. I like to call Circa “the 99% Invisible” of history. Zac describes it like this: a podcast about the stories lost in time, and how they can help us understand ourselves better.

Today’s show delves into the rich beginnings of cinema (starting with Thomas Edison and the Lumiere Bros) then takes us through the advent of television, and finally ends up at the smart phone. Zac’s storytelling style is immersive and engaging. You’ll immediately know why I chose Circa as a collaboration partner on this episode.

After the credits there is one of the funniest bonus segments we’ve had. So be sure to stick around for that too.

Stillmotion has a New Class – “Conducting Remarkable Interviews”

Stillmotion’s Muse Storytelling is the process they use to tell the kind of stories that has helped them garner five Emmys, and go from shooting weddings to shooting the Super Bowl.  They also have a brand new course on their site called “Conducting Remarkable Interviews” and it’s based on years of experience in the field and research of psychology, sociology, and neurology. Go to learnstory.org to learn more.

Radio Film School: A Filmmaker’s Journey

This is the main series of Radio Film School. In season 1 we're exploring the theme: finding your voice and developing a signature style.

Radio Film School: Short Ends

Short Ends:
1. The unused portions of an undeveloped motion picture film reel. Frequently used by indie and student films on low budgets.

2. Short, autonomous Radio Film School documentary or narrative episodes about all things cinema.

Radio Film School
Host Ron Dawson takes you on a journey to discover what it means to be a filmmaker. A show unlike any other for the passionate and aspiring filmmaker, Radio Film School is more of an audio documentary than a traditional podcast. Think of it as This American Life for filmmakers.
