By Joey  //  Conversation  //  No Comments

Slow-burn DIY in action! Alex Sirney has been working on and off on his first docuemtnary project for a few years  now,  Enkishon.  He and a small crew have been shooting on location in Africa over the course of some short trips, with more planned in the future. Alex talks motivation, challenges, and why you’d want to travel to another continent on your own dime to get a better look at your own culture.

14: Filmmaker Paul Wagner

By Joey  //  Conversation  //  No Comments

On this episode is Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Wagner.  Paul has been producing and directing documentary and dramatic films for over 30 years. I met Paul at a documentary film funding workshop and really liked his perspective on how he approaches his documentary work.  The workshop  was informative, laid-back, it was fun… which seems to be Paul’s M.O.

Check out Paul’s work at Paul Wagner Films.

13: News anchor and reporter Susan Bahorich

By Joey  //  Conversation  //  No Comments

Broadcast TV news.. what exactly does that mean anymore.  Anchor reporter Susan Bahorich has some thoughts.  I got to know Susan in the early 2000s in small market TV.  There was a lot of being a one-man-band for reporters then,  where you have to do everything that goes into putting together news packages pretty much solo. Higher market stations have different workflows, with photojournalists, editors, assistant editors and more, on top of the usual newsroom and production staff.
Susan talks about changes she’s seen in broadcast news, the typical workflow, and telling a story.
