IMDp: Improvised Movie Director Podcast

This episode was recorded semi-live with piano accompaniment from Sarah Weiler. The team were in the same room together preparing for their 2022 run at the Brighton Fringe. At the time of record our guest director was only 10 years old.

Episode 35: Live Episode - Maisie Tanner/Lilo & Hitch

IMDp is an improvised interview podcast. Every week Martina Minnow interviews a director about their upcoming film, except the film doesn’t exist and they create it together through their conversation. Also joining Martina each week are our resident improvisers who create cutaway scenes and clips from the films discussed. However...

until she introduces them, only Martina knows the guests name and the name of their movie. The guest and team are kept in the dark until we press record.

IMDp will be recording two live episodes at the Brighton Fringe on Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 May 2023. Where we will be joined by Guest Directors: Mike Kunze & Izzy Glynn (Sat 20 May) / Jenny Wynter & Adam Balakjian (Sun 21 May).
