Ep.103 / FREDDIE POWELL / DIRECTOR   With a wealth of experience, after 15 years at Wieden + Kennedy's, Freddie Powell epitomises the drive and passion it takes to be successful in the creative industry.   His path to directing, I think, gives him a unique perspective to the role of director, especially in short form, and he has honed his pitch process to maximise the hit rate between pitching and winning the job.   From a family farm surrounded by creativity, to the Creative big smoke of Ad Land and all the way back round to his own family farm where he runs his own production company, DROOL, he is a man that knows what he wants, what he needs to achieve it and commits to making it happen.   @thefilmgodspodcast @droolprods @geneshep @freddiepowell100 https://www.droolprods.com/ #filminterview #filmpodcast #filmchat #filmgods #thefilmgodspodcast

Ep 102. The Graddies 2024 Winner - Elian Beaumont   Being asked to be a judge at this year The Graddies Film Festival was a real honour. Watching so many great films of the next generation gave me a lovely hope that we have some amazing talent coming through.   Elian Beaumont was the winner of this year's festival and this chat with him will ignite a fire in the bellies of the generation behind him and reignite it in those years ahead. Check out his socials below.   His passion for the craft is evident, so now it's about the exciting journey ahead, as he paves his way. If this episode, and you, the listeners, are the reason he makes another step up, then this podcast will have done exactly what I wanted it to do - to document our generation and help the generations to come!   As the custodians of the industry and the torch bearers of our job titles, its is down to all of us to make the best decisions, not for us, but for 7 generations in the future.   “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit”   Big love   Isusko   insta: @elianbeaumont twitter: @elianbeaumont Facebook: Elian Beaumont YouTube: Elian Beaumont   @thegraddiesfilmfestival https://www.thegraddies.com/

EP.101 | DENNIS FRASER MBE | KEY GRIP   Recorded in Oct 2020 I got the opportunity to talk to Dennis at his office Chapman UK. I stopped off and bought some microphones on the way, as I had been doing it all through Zoom to that point, and we sat and we had a chat.   A broken laptop later, I had thought I had lost this ep forever until this week when an old hard drive popped up and gave me this gift.   I loved this chat as the memories of the industry that gave Dennis a career to excel in can be heard in each story.    100 plus films, creator of the UK NVQ for Grips, mastermind of a large percentage of modern grip equipment - oh and an MBE for good measure. Dennis shows us what a full life in film can look like.   Enjoy   Isusko p.s link for his book mentioned in the podcast that goes to the Grips branch charity. https://www.gripsbranch.org.uk/product-page/getting-to-grips-the-life-and-work-of-dennis-fraser #filminterview #filmgodspodcast #filmgods
