Thursday, July 30, 2015. Peter Coggan on "Fishing Naked". What was your filmmaking background before making Fishing Naked. PETER: I started out as a performance musician and Audio Engineer. Through a set of mishaps (None of my own), I ended up a cinematographer. I left LA for Colorado and started 42 Productions in 2002.

Thursday, August 6, 2015. Miranda July on "Me and You and Everyone We Know". Where did the idea for the script come from? MIRANDA JULY: I had the idea for a while that I would eventually write a feature film and that I'd make it.

Did you know where you were headed with the story and the characters when you started? What is your writing process? MIRANDA JULY: At ...

Thursday, July 16, 2015. Charlie Griak on "The Center". What was your filmmaking background before making The Center. CHARLIE: Technically speaking, I had almost zero filmmaking experience before making The Center.

It all felt incredibly familiar and natural — and I loved every second of it. CHARLIE: The script didn’t change a great deal once the ca...

What drew you to this project? I had come up through a number of ...
