Today on GIG we explore into the magical world of sound for film and more specially the job of supervising sound editor Gwen Whittle. 

With a career spanning several decades, Gwen has shaped sound landscapes for some of the biggest blockbuster films of our generation like "Avatar" and "Top Gun,” 

Gwen's  career is not just marked by her association with cinematic blockbusters or the 5 Academy Awards she probably has sitting on the fireplace in her living room. It’s the relationships that she’s has created along the way with her team which she refers to as   ‘Family’ …   that's what is most important to her.

I am often asked ‘how do I get into movies’ … It’s an interesting and complex question and there’s no easy answer, BUT today I talk with award winning Casting Director, Cami Patton who will give you some insight.  If you want to be in the entertainment industry and ‘On Screen’ you’ll  need to win over the casting director who happens to be the first person usually hired on when a project is green lit.

Cami is fun, smart, and obviously very good at what she does for a living and has cast such hit shows as Justified, Silo, Pushing Daisies, The Americans and over 100 other shows. This is a must listen for anyone in the film industry …  So, let’s get started.

This episode explores Alex Strohl's captivating narrative of entering the photography world, his subsequent filmmaking transition, and his passion for capturing nature's raw beauty and the nuances of human interactions. He drills into the importance of leveraging your strengths and adopting the path of least resistance to carve out a successful career, thereby offering a novel lens through which to view the world, a lens that melds scenic landscapes and global travel experiences.

We further explore the influence of social media on society, particularly its impact on budding photographers and teenagers. We have an interesting discussion on the pros and cons of social media and the necessity to strike a healthy balance between virtual and real-world interactions. We address the pervasive issue of imposter syndrome and the societal pressure to present an immaculate image on social media platforms. We also talk about the fascinating realm of travel photography and the promotion of off-season travel, spanning the planning and execution of a travel project and the significance of networking in the industry to have such freedoms when on a job.

This was an inspiring conversation with one of the best out there, covering insightful advice to beginners on utilizing social media to expand their photography business, underlining ambition and relentless hard work's indispensable role.

Thanks greatly to Alex for his participation and patience during the recording, his time is extremely appreciated, and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Two of my favorite shows on TV are Justified, and Sneaky Pete so I can’t tell you how excited I am to interview  Director Michael Dinner on GIG.

There’s more to directing than getting to yell … action , or cut.

If you look Michael dinner up on IMDB you’ll see that his credits cover the entire range of entertainment from Grey’s anatomy, to  Masters of Sex,  and  Law and Order to Blacklist.

I think this is an important episode for those of you that want a career in film and TV or just want to understand what the heck the director does.  

Michael Dinner is laid back, so this isn’t an episode you’ll want to listen to while doing your morning jog. He is also very smart, and loves what he does for a living …

GIG is dedicated to educating you about jobs in the Music and Film industry and I concentrate mostly on behind the scenes jobs, but occasionally I will highlight talent, and today I’m happy to shine a spotlight on an actress who has captivated audiences with her talent for many years, Cynda Williams. 

You would recognize Cynda from her breakout role in the acclaimed film "Mo' Better Blues," where she shared the screen with Denzel Washington and some of her over 60 productions.  Personally, I found Cynda an inspiring, hard working example of what it takes to make it in the competitive world of Hollywood.

Okay... The White Lotus... 63 awards and over 80 nominations don't come easy, but having a top-notch team, from showrunners and writers to producers and crew, sure does help.

Mark Kamine is an executive producer for The White Lotus, as well as 21 Bridges, American Hustle, and many of my favorites. He was gracious enough to spend some time with me, explaining the very misunderstood role of the 'executive producer' from the comfort of his home in NYC

My guest this episode is Richard Burgin. Richard has written, directed and is now in post-production of the horror movie, Fang. Richard also has Asperger syndrome, a form of autism,  and his experience with this disorder plays a major role in his film...which he describes as a metaphor for life with a disability.  I never would have expected an interview with horror movie maker to be so tender, sweet, and touching...but there were moments where I must admit, Richard had me tearing up. 

I know you'll enjoy learning more about making movies through the eyes of this brilliant, funny, resilient young man.
