Shut-up and Direct

September 8, 2015 By Ron Dawson

barnum-directs

In this week’s “Short Ends” segment, we address the topic of the do’s and don’ts of directing actors. Filmmaker Ryan Booth, creator of SerialBox.tv, bumps up against the famous Ron Dawson push-back, but offers some push-back of his own as they discuss the topic of directing actors.  We also get introduced to someone who will be a recurring show guest—indie filmmaker, father, a groomsmen in Ron’s wedding, and man with no shortage of words, JD Cochran. JD offers his own, pointed and blunt take on the topic, as someone who’s worked both in front of and behind the camera.

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.
