DIY Cinema Cult

Aaron and Marc get together to discuss what's been going on with their films and how they have been being received by audiences.

Aaron Trinder and Marc Hardman are back with a new-look DIY Cinema Cult as they launch the New Wave of their podcast - which is now also available on YouTube. They talk about their two completed DIY, Indie, feature films and their plans for what's next! You can watch the video version of this podcast over on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/@DIYCinemaCult    

Jamie Beat Culture and Darrell Austin return to DIY Cinema Cult and tell us about the incredible critical response to the premiere and limited theatrical release of HYPER: THE STEVIE HYPER D STORY. We have been following and sharing in their indie film story since 2020 and it was so good to have them back to hear all the latest news - as well as the exciting plans for the future! We also get down to a little DIY film making therapy.

We welcome back Jamie Ross Hulme as he returns to the podcast, along with Darrel Austin, director and producers of the fantastic feature doc 'HYPER: THE STEVIE HYPER D STORY'. As we will hear it has been a long journey to get this film to the big screen but they are now achingly close and on the verge of an incredibly exciting cinema release. There is one final hurdle and that is with the licensing and legal clearances for theatrical distribution.

In this episode Marc takes a trip back to Wembley Park to try and find the studios where Lynch filmed his iconic follow-up to Eraserhead, The Elephant Man (1980). He also attempts to find the the house rented by Lynch during his time living in one of London's less luxurious suburbs.

In this episode Aaron and Marc take an up-close and beady-eyed look into the production of David Lynch's iconic, cult, DIY debut feature film Eraserhead (1977). It is a fantastic tale of endurance and dedication and of DIY filmmakers at their most create, imaginative and resourceful.

Aaron and Marc have been getting on with the job of producing their low budget Indie feature films. 'Free Party' has been on the Doc N'Roll tour around the country as well as dipping it's big toe into the international festival circuit. 'The Old Man' has been going through some drastic editorial cuts and Marc has completed his experimental side film project 'Twelve Spells'. They discuss what they have learnt so far about the realities of independent film sales and distribution.

Aaron storms the Doc'n Roll festival with FREE PARTY while Marc gears up to shoot final pick ups for THE OLD MAN. They also discuss old video formats, underground film screenings, Film Tax Refunds, Chaos Magick and how best to step through a cosmic anus.

Aaron and Marc catch up after a few months break to update each other on their respective DIY feature films. It's a wrap on shooting for The Old Man and Free Party has been test screening to audiences. They also discuss A.I., dystopian gigs of the future and tips for fitting screenwriting into an already over-loaded lifestyle.

It's the traditional Frosty Perineum New Year's episode and Aaron and Marc take their time-honoured boozy stroll about the chilly North London streets. On their way they meet the three Ghosts of Perineum Past and perform a Chaos Magic ceremony up a hill. Happy New Year!
