Just in time for your holiday shopping to wrap up, J-WAT Producers Alex Watson and Tim Drake have a special announcement!

On today's episode, J-WAT Producers Alex Watson and Tim Drake sit down to talk about some recent controversy within the film community and how to make your film community better amongst controversy and contention. (We will have a coming episode about building your community, which was our plan here, but the conversation went deeper.) We dive into a prominent director tearing people down, and how we view tearing things down vs. building them up. We also talk about all of the film and tv we've been watching and are going to watch this week. Enjoy!

Part 2 of our newest installment on Directing is here! J-WAT Producers Alex Watson and Tim Drake continue their discussion on all they continue to learn from each project about Directing. They talk about what they've learned from their first feature to their second, and what they continue to discover to make directing more inclusivce on set and being able to focus on doing the job.

It's been over 2 years since we've talked about directing on the show, and we've learned a lot since then! J-WAT producers Alex Watson and Tim Drake sit down and talk about all that they have learned since their first feature film, "Bundy Manor", and into their latest film, "Demonetize". Oh yeah, and did we mention, DEMONETIZE IS FINISHED!!! It's headed to the festival circuit and we hope to see you in a city near you. But until then, listen to Part 1 of our latest episode on directing.

On today's episode of the J-WAT Podcast, producers Alex Watson and Tim Drake talk about the the cyber elephant in the room... AI. If you've listened to the podcast, you know we are not fond of AI being used in film. Over the past few weeks this topic has dominated the new cycle with a new AI "actress" allegedly being courted by agencies. We read real actress Betty Gilpin's letter to the AI "actress" and discuss how we see AI hurting film and our appreciation for the hard work we put in to making films that will be lost by using AI. This was a very heartfelt discussion as it is something we are very passionate about. Let us know your thoughts!
