PODCAST: Escape from the compound

This is great podcast episode. Besides getting to brag about our inclusion on The Top 10 Movie Podcasts list by USA Today's Pop Candy, getting to mock Charlotte for her Justin Bieber documentary fandom, and getting to plug my new project with Apocalypse Radio, we also had the chance to speak to some really nice local filmmakers about their international hit polygamy documentary, Sons of Perdition. Charlotte's official write-up is below, but check out the site for the complete show notes (which include links to everything we talk about on the show) and don't forget to subscribe on iTunes.

It’s hard to believe we’re at episode 11 of the podcast already! This time Josh and I talk to the directors of Sons of Perdition, Tyler Measom and Jennilyn Merten, and discuss the True/False Film Festival, Josh’s latest project, a live-streaming Apocalypse Radio concert and my newfound love for Justin Bieber. This was one of the most fun podcasts I’ve had the chance to be on so far and we really hope you enjoy it (and I apologise in advance for any audible sniffing, as I had the flu during recording).

PODCAST: Sundance Special 2011

So, I don't mind admitting that I got in way over my head at Sundance this year and all of my hard work resulted in two "festival special" episodes that don't really fit the mission of the podcast. It was an overall miserable experience. That being said, I managed to get a few great interviews while up in Park City last month and I have a much better idea of how to approach Sundance next year. Lesson learned. Check out Charlotte's intro below, get the full show notes in the extended write-up at the site (this is where you can grab the timecode if you want to jump straight to a specific interview), and remember to subscribe on iTunes to have the podcast delivered right to your door, er, computer.

Jay was busy finishing up his first feature documentary, Beauty Day, but Josh and I were fortunate enough to attend the Sundance Film Festival again this year, and while we were there we recorded a special Sundance episode of The Documentary Blog Podcast. Josh must take all the credit as he ran around getting no less than seven interviews for this show with filmmakers at the festival (I think he may even have a few more up his sleeve for future shows).

We really hope you enjoy the podcast, the filmmakers featured are Steve James of The Interrupters, Peter D. Richardson of How to Die in Oregon, Joy Foy of Resurrect Dead, Constance Marks of Being Elmo, Leonard Retel Helmrich of Position Among the Stars, Matthew Bate of Shut Up Little Man! and Göran Olsson of Blackpower Mixtape.

PODCAST: Yes, we did @#%*in' shoot that!

The first in what I hope will be a long line of visitors from a secret society known only as "Michael Moore's Documentary Insurgency," Jeff Deutchman joins us on the The Documentary Blog Podcast.

As a personal aside, I found out just before our interview with him that Jeff was the IFC executive that passed on Cleanflix, so I went in prepared to hate the guy, but he won me over instantly with his charm and intellect.

This podcast is a great way to get to know the filmmaker and get some insights into his film which will screen simultaneously across the country tomorrow, October 20th. If you are near one of his 11/4/08 screenings tomorrow, please go support the film and this exciting new distribution method for independent documentaries.

On episode four of The Documentary Blog Podcast Jay and Josh are joined by Jeff Deutchman, curator/producer of 11/4/08. We talk to Jeff about making a "participatory documentary" and his interesting distribution plans for the film. 11/4/08 is released tomorrow and you can see more information on where to see the film here. In addition we have the usual discussion about documentaries everyone watched this week, which includes Jay’s review of Jackass 3D, Josh's thoughts on Reel Paradise, and Jeff’s recommendation of the latest Patricio Guzmán film, Nostalgia for the Light. Make sure to check out the show notes after the jump for all of the info you need on our guests and the topics we discuss. Enjoy!
