In this week’s episode, we’re thrilled to have two powerhouse guests: Vanessa Bailey and Daren Smith! We’re diving deep into their latest creative projects, their journeys in the film industry, and the exciting things they have in store.
First up, Vanessa Bailey joins us to discuss her incredible work in film. She’s been busy, and we’re here to talk about it all! From her short film, The Break-Up, to her zero-budget music video for Panic Atom, and a slick prime-time ad that aired on TV. But the big news is that Vanessa has just launched the Richmond International Screenwriting & Film Festival! This exciting event takes place this Saturday, November 16, 2024, and offers a unique chance to celebrate fresh talent with tickets starting at just £10. Don’t miss your chance—grab tickets on FilmFreeway and support this incredible new festival.
Daren Smith is also in the studio to share his two latest films, Faith of Angels and The Carpenter. Not only is he adding to his filmography, but he’s also launching a major funding initiative, aiming to raise £10 million to produce another 5 to 10 films. If you’re passionate about indie cinema and want to get involved, you can support this exciting venture at producer.fund.
Of course, we’re bringing back some favorite segments, including “News of the Week” and “Thanks, but No Thanks,” where we cover the latest headlines and trends, plus a few things we’d rather leave behind.
Don’t miss this episode packed with stories of creativity, ambition, and indie film inspiration!
