In part two of my interview with Darren Scott, the conversation shifts to post-production and what happens after a film is finished. We talk about his experiences with film festivals, revisiting the cut and sound mix after audience screenings, and the realities of distribution - including deals that appear to be opportunities but come with serious costs. The episode also covers Darren’s decision to release 'All Roads Lead To Home' through Kinoora. (www.kinoora.com).

In this episode, I talk about a situation from a recent feature film shoot where one person's unprofessionalism began to affect the entire production. Through a day-by-day account, I explore how a project can be disrupted when someone's attitude and approach to their role is laissez-faire - and, at times, borderline passive-aggressive - and what that reveals about professionalism, responsibility, effort and empathy in independent filmmaking.

In this episode, I return to the recent online criticism of my feature film Blurred Lines and discuss what those responses reveal about how some film students understand criticism and film analysis.

From there, I discuss the reality of making micro-budget films. Drawing on my own experiences making an independent feature with a tiny crew, deferred payments and improvised solutions, I explore the gap between the idea of indie filmmaking and the reality.

In this episode, I talk about a recent one-word review of ‘Blurred Lines’ and revisit the wave of student ratings the film received when it was first released last year. I unpack what those responses say about perception, knowledge and understanding, the financial risk of independent filmmaking, and the culture of criticism in film education - and where standards and humility fit into all of it.
