The White Deer Filmmaking Podcast

This time we have a great chat about films with Iain Ward. Iain is trying to break a world record for raising the most money for cancer by running a marathon (2.7 million). Iain has cancer himself and is trying to spread the word as much as possible to raise the money in less than 2 years. He adores films and uses them to motivate him, being one of his major passions.

Geoffrey Calhoun speaks to us about his book 'The Guide for Every Screenwriter: From Synopsis to Subplots: The Secrets of Screenwriting Revealed'. Here is the book's blurb: "Screenwriting made simple. The Guide for Every Screenwriter is one of the most efficient instruction manuals on the craft. This book cuts past verbose exposition and gets straight to work, delivering sample-driven outlines and templates that anyone can follow. It is quick to apply to your work and serves as a side-by-side checklist for the writing process. This is the book for anyone looking to write a screenplay and for any professional needing a refresher." In this chat, we discuss the best approaches to be a successful screenwriter and touch on a few subjects from the book itself. This is a great discussion for all writers to listen to and for people of other specialisms too, as our cinematographer host, Adam Sandy, discovers.  Beyond that, we uncover Geoffrey's other resources and learn about his blog, podcast, and bank of famous scripts etc. We hope you enjoy Geoffrey's advice and we also hope that you check out his website: www.thesuccessfulscreenwriter.com which is the one-stop resource for all of Geoffrey's resources including the book itself.  You can also get the book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Guide-Every-Screenwriter-Synopsis-Screenwriting/dp/1733989633/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+guide+for+every+screenwriter&qid=1606427019&sr=8-1 Follow Geoffrey & his advice on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram @thesuccessfulscreenwriter And also on Twitter @screenwriterpod Submit to the White Deer International Film Festival on Film Freeway: https://filmfreeway.com/whitedeerinternationalfilmfestival Follow the White Deer International Film Festival at: https://whitedeerfest.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/whitedeerfest/ https://www.instagram.com/whitedeerfest/ https://twitter.com/whitedeerfest https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzAGV35n1cRfw1uv-iWYQdw Information on the hosts: MARK WISDOM - Actor/Producer/Writer/Host IMDB: www.imdb.me/markwisdom Web: www.markwisdom.co.uk Instagram: www.instagram.com/mrmarkwisdom Facebook: www.facebook.com/pg/mrmarkwisdom ADAM SANDY - Cinematographer/Colourist/Host Web: https://adamsandy.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamsandydop ALASTAIR RAILTON - Director/Writer/Editor/Host Web: https://www.freshairfilmsandmedia.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fresh_air_fm Thanks for listening!

We are happy to bring you this very humble chat with Christopher Key and Neil Hobbs. They were kind enough to talk to us about Within, a short film which won Best Actor in both our Bi-Monthly & Annual awards and was also nominated for several other awards in the process. Chris was the film's director, writer, and also a producer, whilst Neil played the lead character, Michael. Together they guide us through the process of making this film and also take us through the moments that brought the emotion through so strongly. The White Deer team all agreed that this chat was just so humble and we are looking forward to staying in touch with this team Unfortunately, as of yet, the guys haven't finished their websites but we will update this as soon as they do!

In this chat, we speak to Jordan Dean, Duncan Mcleod & Dan Flanders, the team behind the award-winning short film, Dead Air. Dead Air took one of our most prized awards, the Best East Midlands Short Film, and we were thrilled to be able to speak to them.  Their film journey is actually quite different from ones that have frequently come before on the podcast. Surprisingly, narrative filmmaking has not always been a priority for two-thirds of the team, as for a couple of the guys it is actually quite a new idea. Instead, their main focus is corporate filmmakers which they have been very successful at through their company, Crosscut Media. This episode explains why the team decided to make a narrative film and the decisions that were taken in order to produce it to an award-winning standard. A crucial listen for anyone in a corporate environment but want to branch out into narrative. If you are interested in getting in touch/finding out more about the team's corporate work you can go to https://crosscut-media.co.uk/ & for their narrative portfolio go to https://www.fishbulbfilms.co.uk/ @fishbulbfilms is also the tag for the teams' various socials including Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo and Instagram You can also watch Dead Air on Amazon Prime right now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B08D6X3FXG/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r Submit to the White Deer International Film Festival on Film Freeway: https://filmfreeway.com/whitedeerinternationalfilmfestival Follow the White Deer International Film Festival at: https://whitedeerfest.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/whitedeerfest/ https://www.instagram.com/whitedeerfest/ https://twitter.com/whitedeerfest https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzAGV35n1cRfw1uv-iWYQdw Information on the hosts: MARK WISDOM - Actor/Producer/Writer/Host IMDB: www.imdb.me/markwisdom Web: www.markwisdom.co.uk Instagram: www.instagram.com/mrmarkwisdom Facebook: www.facebook.com/pg/mrmarkwisdom ADAM SANDY - Cinematographer/Colourist/Host Web: https://adamsandy.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamsandydop ALASTAIR RAILTON - Director/Writer/Editor/Host Web: https://www.freshairfilmsandmedia.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fresh_air_fm Thanks for listening!

We recently got in touch with Sam & Rob from Alaboogie Productions. This team are working their socks off to create a very intriguing mockumentary centred around British politics and called Right Honourable Gentlemen. Our co-director, Mark Wisdom, stumbled across their marketing and found it so fascinating that he recommended it to the rest of the White Deer team who quickly found themselves equally embroiled in the world of Right Honourable Gentlemen. Rob & Sam were fabulous to talk to and came over as extremely passionate and highly dedicated to bringing this project to life through hilarious promo videos and a kickstarter campaign. We are so excited to share this with you and to promote this team, and they truly deserve your support!

In the final episode of our CWR series, we are talking to Jamie Richards and Hamish Dickinson who did the film's score and sound mix respectively. Hamish also takes the hosting responsibilities and together we discuss the process of developing a soundtrack for a film alongside having a professional mix. Our principal team all share the opinion that sound is such an integral part of filmmaking and this interview proves that exactly. There's a lot to enjoy here regarding music both creatively and technically. Its a truly fascinating conversation!
