DN Ep 024: Sunshine Indoors - Andy Gibson & Ryan Rogers

By MarBelle ⋅ February 24, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

My beer fueled interview with co-directors Andy Gibson and Ryan Rogers is the first face to face interview we’ve put out and was great fun to do. Despite the ever growing stack of empty pints, the three of us managed to stay enough on topic to discuss the pairs’ stopframe animation Sunshine Indoors, an odd [...]

Our interview this week is with director Marcelo Garcia, who’s work has seen him warmly accepted by his peers, being able to take his pick of working with companies such as Fabrica and Lobo, not to mention having his inventively experimental ad spot for the Virtuosi International Music Festival in Recife, Brazil, be lauded up [...]

We’ve been ‘P.A.P. Smeared’

By MarBelle ⋅ February 9, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

While the title seems to suggest some kind of invasive medical procedure, what’s actually happened is that the Podcast About Podcasting Podholes, has a segment - the afore mentioned P.A.P.

OK I’ve finally stepped up and written this most fluid of lists down, so for better or worse, this is how I’ll recall my film viewing of 2006 when my memory has rotted and all I can go on are the documented facts. I’d like to point out that as Miss D said in her [...]

Living in Luton, a one-cinema town, I don’t get many chances to see independent movies or foreign films, unless it involves a 30-minute drive to a nearby town (or a train ride to London). So imagine my surprise when I discovered that the cinema in Luton was actually screening Boon Jong Ho’s latest film The [...]
