We Need to Talk About Oscar
In We Need to Talk About Oscar you can hear interviews with filmmakers. We are trying to shed some light on a wide range of professions within the industry, so apart from the writers/directors/actors you can also get insights from cinematographers, editors, production designers, composers, and so on. Our aim is to provide an across the board picture on how our favourite films and tv shows come to life.

We Need to Talk About Sundance #1: One of a kind 'By Design'
We could write endlessly about why you should look out for Amanda Kramer's By Design, but we’ll let the film’s synopsis speak for itself: “A woman swaps bodies with a chair, and everyone likes her better as a chair.” Honestly, what more do you need to strap in and watch this hour and a half long film starring Juliette Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, and narrated by Melanie Griffith?!
Like all films, there are two sides to the story: one behind the camera and one in front of it. We had the incredible opportunity to speak with both Amanda Kramer, the beautifully twisted mind behind it all, and Mamoudou Athie, one of the actors bringing it to life. From materialism and physical performance to writing for actors and believing in the project you’re starring in, we cover it all.
