Making OLD MAN (with guest Lucky McKee)

From the team behind Austin-based genre film production company Paper Street Pictures, ‘The PAPER STREET Podcast’ covers genre films, filmmaking, and the film industry, while touching on the theme of positivity and inclusivity in the genre community. The show also dives deep into all aspects of production -- from the workshopping of ideas and script, to on-set production, to the post-production process, to distribution. Hosts Becky Sayers and Shawn Talley get into the movie-making weeds, interviewing industry professionals and craftspeople, and they may even impress you with their respective knowledge of genre films along the way.

On this installment of The PAPER STREET Podcast, Becky and Shawn chat with veteran Director of Photography Eric Oh about his background, career, and all things cinematography: what it is, what it isn't, and why it's more than just knowing the technical aspects. Some folks may have heard of The Five C's of Cinematography (Camera angles, Continuity, Cutting, Close-ups, and Composition), but Eric suggests a few additional C's that are equally important to a DP's success: Collaboration, Compassion, and Communication.  The hosts also talk with their globe-trotting guest about filming around the world, shooting during the pandemic, and some of his upcoming features, including recent Fantasia Festival selections THE FIGHT MACHINE and THE BREACH, as well as Paper Street Pictures' horror-comedy SORRY ABOUT THE DEMON.

"In Theaters Now" - A Discussion on the State and Future of Cinemas

PAPER

This installment of The PAPER STREET Podcast finds Becky and Shawn on a short hiatus due to production, work, and travel schedules, so they've offered up their original test show as a special bonus episode! Initially recorded on Leap Day of 2020, right before a global pandemic would shut down theaters and festivals and delay a number of films, the hosts speculate wildly on the still-new coronavirus, touch on their respective filmmaking backgrounds and genre love, and answer their own version of what would became the 'Rapid Fire 15' that they play with their guests. There's no in-depth film and filmmaking discussion on this one, just your trusty co-hosts working out technical kinks and feeling each other out, because they literally did not know one another before this test run! But you will hear them namedrop things--including Telluride Horror Show, '80s slashers and action movies, bad puns, and Quibi (RIP)— that, now two years later, have been referenced so frequently, they're essentially running gags (or bingo boxes, if you will) of the program. Hope you enjoy this "getting to know you" edition with Shawn and Becky! For show notes and more on this and previous episodes, please visit paperstreetpodcast.com.
