This week on Last to Leave, Zoey Danielson & Heather Elaine Abbott, dive into the world of documentary filmmaking to discuss Matter of Time (2025) with the help of the film's director, Matt Finlin. Matter of Time features a string of Eddie Vedder solo concerts in Seattle in 2023 as the backdrop for the film, which chronicles efforts to find a cure for epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic disease that can be lethal.

In this episode, Heather & Zoey learn all about the realities of making an indie documentary, discuss the importance of funding scientific research, and are inspired by Matt's work with the EB community & Vedder family. This one is guaranteed to feed the hope machine, film nerds!

You can watch Matter of Time on Netflix and learn more about & how to donate to support the search for a cure at matteroftimefilm.com!

This week on Last to Leave, Zoey Danielson & Heather Elaine Abbott are stepping into the color suite with Oisin O’Driscoll, the Irish colorist who helped bring HBO Max’s Chris Fleming: Live at the Palace to life.

In this episode, Zoey & Heather get into the wonderfully weird world of color grading, hear Oisin’s journey from Ireland to Chicago, and dig into what a colorist actually does to shape the look and feel of a project. From comedy specials to commercials to feature films, Oisin shares stories from his career, talks about the creative collaboration behind the grade, and gives us a peek behind the curtain at one of the final stages of bringing a project to life.

You can watch Chris Fleming: Live at the Palace on HBO Max!
