You may say you’ll never do it but, if you’re an indie filmmaker, chances are at some point you’re probably going to wind up producing your own work. In this fun and frank episode, actor, writer, director, and producer Ana de Lara really tells it like it is: Why ultra low budget films are so tough to produce, how she ended up producing in the first place, and why producing isn’t fun! An accomplished actor, Ana also shares what it’s like to be flown to Prague for a Cascade commercial, and being cast as everything from Chinese to Indigenous...when you’re a Filipina-Canadian.
Ana de Lara has 17 awards and 5 nominations for her award-winning short films and the two features she’s produced: All In Madonna and Open for Submissions. A Women in the Director’s Chair alumna, she won Telefilm’s New Voices Award, Talent to Watch, Whistler Film Festival MPPIA Award, Vancouver Women in Film Matrix and Best Narrative Short awards, Broad Humor Film Festival’s Best Director, and Asians on Film Best Comedy and Best Screenplay Awards.

With all the talk about toxic masculinity, it’s a real treat to watch a film that explores traditionally held “masculine” qualities like aggression, competitiveness — even homophobia — while also acknowledging masculinity’s potential for tenderness, nurturance, and protectiveness. Working with amateur actors from the Bogotá barrio, filmmaker Andrés Felipe Ángel manages to pull that off and more in his sensitive autobiographical coming of age film Rage. It’s a real treat to hear Andrés share how he developed the film from a single visual image, why he’s a self-styled “cultural manager,” trends in Columbian filmmaking, being in consideration for the 2025 Academy Awards, and finding the perfect litter of puppies he needed for Rage.
Andrés is an audiovisual producer and live performer in the Bogotá drag scene. His films include Rage — Fieras in Spanish — and Bogotá Se Quema. Rage screened at the Moscow International Film Festival and the Bogotá Short Film Festival, where it won Best Screenplay, Best Direction and Best Short Film and is in consideration for the 2025 Academy Awards. Now it will screen in this year’s Short Circuit Pacific Rim Film Festival.

The brutal “treatments” that the Canadian government and CIA jointly funded at the height of the Cold War era’s brainwashing paranoia are the stuff of nightmares. Patients with diagnoses as innocent as postpartum depression were rendered virtual zombies for life, creating a legacy of intergenerational trauma and perpetrator guilt that inspired filmmaker Emanuel Foucault’s riveting short film Washer. In this episode Emanuel describes:
· The devastating mind control experiments conducted at Montreal’s notorious Allen Memorial Institute.
· Adapting history for a short film.
· Finding amazing actors.
· Crowd-funding three times more money than he asked for.
· His plans for a tree planting horror story!EMANUEL FOUCAULT is an actor, writer, editor and producer for both stage and screen dividing his time between Montreal and Victoria.

In this fun episode, Joyce meets up with writing/directing team Sonya Chwyl and Anik Desmarais-Spencer. Their latest short horror comedy Slip poses a sadly relatable question for these inflationary times: “How far will you go to keep your shitty rental?”
Slip just won Audience Choice at this year’s Short Circuit Pacific Film Festival and you can watch it on the big screen for free in Regina, Ottawa and St. John’s as part of Short Circuit’s 2023 National Tour. Anik and Sonya’s last film Baby Teeth won Outstanding BC Film in Short Circuit’s 2020 festival and both films have screened in festivals US and Canada wide.
Listen up as this dynamic duo not only “dissects” the glory—and the gory—of using fake blood on screen, they also share:
· What they learned from previous films.
· Why, for them, co-directing is like "being in a solid, committed relationship.”
· What they did to get a corpse’s POV shot for Baby Teeth.

What’s it like to pitch to a panel of judges in front of a live theatre audience— when you think you’re awful at pitching? That was the challenge for multi-talented filmmaker Daniel Kwon, the writer, director, editor and co-producer of 2022’s Cinespark winning film The Girl in the Forest.
Daniel is a true renaissance man: filmmaker, screenwriter, director, editor, colorist, set decorator, videographer, graphic designer, motion graphic design, storyboard artist and animator.

Every screenplay has at least one element that a filmmaker knows is going to be tricky to carry off. But when the script demands you track down an elusive rare bird and find a location where an actor can safely fell a giant tree with a hand axe, you’re going to have to get extra creative. How director James Hunter, with the help of producer Faith Gouga, managed to pull all this off in their haunting short film NEST—is a fascinating tale all on its own.
James is an award-winning Australian writer, director, editor and producer whose 16mm black and white “gothic psychodrama” NEST is one of the outstanding films in the 2023 Short Circuit Pacific Rim Film Festival. The film is currently making the festival rounds and has screened in such prestigious Academy Award Qualifying festivals as Melbourne, St. Kilda, Atlanta, HollyShorts, FlickerFest, and SITGES film festivals.
