Live From The Reel Owl Cinema Film Festival 2023

For posterity's sake, it is 908 on the East Coast.
It is 608 on the West Coast.
It is the sixth of May in the year of our Lord, 2023.
Season 13, episode 32-ish.
Cause I don't have the exact count.
Approximately 632 times you have been welcome
to the Clubhouse podcast.
Is it feeding us a little bit hot?
Is it coming a little hot?
Let me turn that down.
Just a wee bit there.
How's that? A little better? A little better?
Yeah, slight.
We are live to tape from Garland High School
for the 18th Annual Real Owl Cinema Festival.
Our sixth time doing this, I do believe, welcome.
We'll explain everything to you here in a minute.
My name is Rob, I am the executive producer
of the Clubhouse podcast,
and I am wearing my Tuxedo T-shirt
because it says I'm formal, but I'm here to party.
To my right is my co-host, and a man that I was today old
when I realized this is his first time doing
this particular show.
He is Alex, welcome sir.
And you did come in a little hot when I pointed that out.
I had you were convinced.
I was here last year.
I was convinced you've done this before,
and I was wrong.
Across from us at the table,
he is the official fact checker
of sooner-a-gator productions.
You may know him as Iick Boonew
with his mama name I'm Don Ford,
and a man who is slowly, but surely,
learning the meaning of last one he has done.
This is incredible.
I'm making lunches for all four.
Oh, oh, oh, we're going to turn it down.
Don's coming in.
Really?
Yeah, there we go.
That's a little fun.
We get to get awesome guests coming up here.
There's some great filmmakers and all that.
We're back here getting, I have fun doing this.
And Don did the math.
This is our sixth time here at Garo and I.
So this is the new album festival.
A Tick-Rism designated campus.
Wasn't he in the Wu-Tang clan at one point?
I believe he was just an adjacent.
Oh, fair enough, Wu-Tang adjacent, if you will.
So here's how this works.
But I'm going to go bye-bye.
You do that.
Let the kids get their food and stuff.
Yeah, don't bug them before food.
It's the same rules with us.
But you can start getting stuff lined up if you need to.
If you want to hover near the other end of the table,
and just pick on the small prey, like a whole red car kid.
Normally, we have a red carpet here.
We have the snack table.
Why are you complaining?
I'm standing in the same height as both of you sitting.
You said it, I didn't.
Yeah, I did.
So let's explain to the people that maybe hearing
this show for the first time, how this works.
Garland High School in Garland, Texas
has a film department, which on its own is an amazing thing.
Their teacher, Mr. Schubert, a high quality human being,
one of our favorite humans.
And his mom, how do you run the whole thing?
Yes.
This thing has grown and grown and grown.
To the point where next year, they're
going to have almost 120 incoming freshmen.
I believe he said 125, didn't he?
The current count, he believes, is 117, but we're going
to round up.
All year long, these students work on film.
They learn about film.
They watch film.
They even make films, which is why we're here.
An average of five to six films per school year, yes.
At the end, or close to it, of the school year, as tonight
is, they take all of the student films
and they put them together.
And some of them were featured at the USA Film Festival.
Some of them have been featured at the Delta International
Film Festival.
Yes.
These kids have skins on the wall.
Absolutely.
Tonight, we celebrate those films in a short block,
which took about an hour and 50 minutes.
We are now, basically, at halftime.
Yes.
Where we are currently located in the high school cafeteria.
And I got to be honest, isn't this a nice or my high school
cafeteria?
And you know what my high school cafeteria looks like,
is you went to a high school with Jason.
Well, I could also say that your entire high school
was subpar, but that would be.
Not back then.
Not back then.
Now there could be questions.
But we are currently in the high school cafeteria,
where the students and the parents and the teachers
and the things that that nature have gathered.
Yeah, I almost want to claim some slight PTSD,
but I enjoyed my high school time.
No, I think flashbacks here.
And so they're going to have some snacks.
We're going to be fellowshiping and sharing a little bit.
And then after a predetermined amount of time
that we never remember, we think it's about an hour.
We're going to go back to the auditorium.
And there will be awards given out for these films
that we, somebody thought we qualified to judge these things.
I'm done questioning.
I'm past questioning at this point.
And then we, as in this show and others of our ill
cadet are here, some of our colleagues in the industry
will be handing those awards out.
Oh, really?
And I can say that this show is the reason that happened.
The first couple of years, she were just at them all.
And we were like, you know what?
No, no, no.
You have to clarify with Schubert.
Mr. Schubert, there you go.
They refer to both of them as Schubert actually.
But at the same time, we want to clarify.
So in the second or third year we did this,
we were like, you know what?
Would there be room for us to give out awards?
And they were like, they ever thought about it that way.
But Schubert, and ever since then,
we have, there's a group of us that will gather backstage
and will rotate who issues out the awards.
And there's awards for everything.
Best beginner film, best intermediate film,
best direction, best end of photography,
the whole, just, it's just like any other film award shows.
But these are some incredibly talented.
I don't, I hesitate to call them kids.
They're students.
Young adults.
Attach to students?
That's an old, sorry, now I've been.
Which, no, sorry, now I live right now.
OK.
Right or strike?
Oh, that's right.
We were spared the Pete Davidson experience, too many times.
He was your musical guest.
I'm sorry.
What?
Yep.
I mean, he was your host.
OK.
Because I had questions about what you said first.
Well, the rumor was, your guest was going to be Foo Fighters.
Which, I would have been happy.
I would have been, you know, I would have been some Foo Fighters.
Same.
New pinball tables, amazing.
This is a large gathering.
Yes, it is.
And this, this gets bigger every year.
This is one of the most talent-filled rooms I've been in.
And it'll be interesting to talk to some of these kids.
I need to get my program.
So I remember which films we're going to be talking about.
Because there was a, I got mine.
And every year there is a theme.
This year is Top Time.
Yes.
The year they did Jurassic Park, Davi brought out the Jeep.
And Mr. Schubert ran down the aisle
in one of those inflatable T-Rex costumes.
And he got up at the stage and he was like,
I'm never doing that again.
So I wish I still had mine.
There is video evidence somewhere of me terrorizing
an office building in Dallas with one of those on.
As one does.
And I did go to the cafeteria in the basement
and was questioned because my tail got stuck
in the door, the elevator.
But let's, let's do some housekeeping
while we are waiting for things to settle in.
Absolutely.
Next week, no shows.
Okay.
Mother's Day?
Yes.
So we will all be spending time with, with loved ones.
I have, the boys have already sent me on a mission
for Jen's Mother's Day gift.
It has been acquired.
Good.
And plus now we have her parents up here.
That's true.
You have to love that.
So my hope is that two weeks or a week from tomorrow,
or two weeks from tomorrow, which would be the 21st.
We are back to our normal cadence.
Yes.
But they will be home shows.
Absolutely.
Uploaded to our YouTube channel.
Now it won't be like normal
where you're gonna get it on Sunday nights.
You will get podcasts maybe on Sunday night,
more than likely Monday morning.
The best cases to have it for your Monday.
Correct.
In this show, we'll drop on Tuesdays.
Dig it.
Because there's more involved now.
And we'll talk more about that down the road.
So would we call it Clubhouse YouTube's days?
No.
No, it doesn't work.
I thought I had something, but I was happy.
You were right at the goal line in your phone.
I'm gonna be on it.
I did keep Cleveland Browns this.
Oh.
Yeah.
Now, we are also are still trying to work out
of the deconstructions, because those are not off the table.
We're just rearranging some things.
Absolutely.
The other thing we want to talk about
while we're getting all the house keeping done.
New website clubhousepodcast.com has been rebamped.
You have done an excellent job.
Thank you, sir.
I wasn't going to say it that way, but I will take it.
I think we're smile on that phone.
I think you're smile all the time.
So we're there.
It's exactly half of my collar is sticking up
in that photo.
We're redoing the photo tonight.
Okay.
Yeah.
The photo basically just has my forehead based on height.
We need a box that I can stand on.
You want it to stand in the middle, sir?
That is also fair, but it makes it better,
because otherwise I'm just the weirdo on the side.
So, and we are in the midst of trying to figure out
a format for the podcast website.
Because that website I want to set up
at the South of Park.
Now, with the clubhouse website,
www.theclubhousepodcast.com.
That's our website.
I was really hoping Don would duck that out.
That's our website and you're too late.
I'm trying to work here.
Well, hold on.
Hold on.
You're about to lose the mic.
I know you didn't do that.
We have added a couple of sections.
Yes.
One section we have added for our current episodes
that will house up to the 10 most recent episodes.
You're okay.
We also have a section on the website now for trailers.
So when trailers drop, what I'm doing
is I'm putting a YouTube player embedded into the site
so that you can see those.
Very nice.
Wix has also done some upgrades as well
that I can do different things with
including our Instagram feed, which is very helpful.
Awesome.
So we've got a lot of cool things happening
with the clubhouse podcast as we are nearing.
We're what eight weeks away from the end of season 13.
I don't even know if it's a full eight weeks.
It's just rounded.
It's right there, right?
Yeah.
So getting ready for season 14 coming up in July.
I don't know that I've ever seen the line
wrap around to our table.
No, there's a lot of people.
It's all the people.
But usually a line put down.
No, but I'm talking about, I don't think I've seen
this many people in the line like that,
which is a pretty good question.
It usually goes to about there.
Also available right now, you can take a look at some
of the panels that I've been working for Retro Expo.
Excellent one.
For video.
Yes.
We also have audio up right now on my YouTube channel,
which eventually will wind up on ours.
My interview with Francois Pettit,
like sub zero in the 1995 Mortal Kombat film.
And if that, if that was enough,
if that was all we talked about for 40 minutes,
like that would have been fine.
But doing my research on Francois Pettit,
it just kept going.
I was hoping you were going to go into this.
And so I, but I want people to go listen to that interview.
And then this coming week, I'll be putting up my panel
with Robert Costanzo and Mike Star.
And we talk about, what are the things we talk about?
Is that panel was called what a character?
Yes.
And so I asked those of these gentlemen
how they feel about the phrase character actor.
You know, I could see that going two different ways.
Some people know their niche,
Tobalowski, for example.
Or some people might feel boxed in.
Well, and they did a great panel together
because they're best friends.
But they've never worked together.
Interest, they've worked different episodes of the same show
that they've never been on the same set at the same time.
Can I ask a question?
You just did.
Can I ask a third question after this second?
You may.
Did the movie forget Paris come up?
I didn't go too deep into the catalog
because I only had 45 minutes.
So I wanted to be able to cover as much,
because there were two of them.
We talked about Ed, which is one of the favorites
of myself and the lovely and talented Mrs. Irvin.
That was one of our first appointment viewing shows
that in the West Wing.
And so we talked, Mike Stark talked a little bit about that.
And I have a picture in my phone
that he let me take of him and Tom Kavanaugh
that was in his phone.
Oh, wow.
And Robert Costanzo, I had to text Charlotte,
let her know I was interviewing Joey Trippiotti,
senior, which made him giggle.
Well, the reason I ask is because
my selfish affinity for it is,
I consider Costanzo the underrated star of Forget Paris.
That's a great fill.
Yeah.
But I will tell you, when I was introducing myself
to them that morning, all of a sudden,
and I guess they do this when they're just hanging out,
they both do impressions of Danny Iolo.
And they were doing dueling Iolo.
And I was like, guys, hold on to this.
I need this for the panel.
And they didn't.
With a piano.
They just went right in off the top.
I was like, all right.
Let's save this.
But let's go ahead to the dueling ILOs.
They both had amazing stories to tell.
That'll be going up this week.
Again, audio only because we're working
on how we can get video done for some of the shows
that I'm working now.
The net show that I am scheduled in quotes.
I'm glad you said air quotes because this is an audio medium.
And you can do air quotes.
It's not fully 100% official, but it's 99.9% official.
But I will be moderating panels in greater ask.
Greater Austin Comic Con, the weekend before my birthday.
And that it has a staggering list of celebrity guests.
It's getting bigger every day.
There's going to be a revenge of the nerds reunion.
I'm very excited about that.
Julie Neumart is going to be there.
So I'm not allowed within 50 yards.
I will say five bucks says I don't get that big.
But you're kidding.
But I'm going to try.
But I don't ask they can't say it.
Exactly.
And that diss list just keeps getting bigger.
It just does.
And I'm very excited about that show.
We're getting some feedback somewhere.
I think it's coming from those mics.
I turned them off.
OK.
Because we haven't had even sit there.
So I'm going to turn on so we have people.
Well, there is a lot of people.
Don wearing his rexam jersey.
Yeah.
Are they still jerseys?
The whole thing is called the kit.
It is a jersey, but it is an entire kit.
And you know how, and I say this show takes credit
because they got promoted.
Yes.
After 19 years, I know 15 years.
That was 15 years from motion.
It was 49 years since they won the league, which is great.
And we take credit because they didn't win the league.
So we started for it.
Well, one of us has sponsored them on some levels.
And then we found out there may be another friendly.
They're playing in America with the US Women's National
Team.
Well, they do have a full docket with that.
Very excited about that as well.
And it was verified this week.
We are getting season two because the caption of them
holding these, the trophy on FX's social media said,
spoiler alert.
Yes.
Season two of welcome to rexam comes this fall.
Very excited.
A couple of things we can talk about real quick while we're
waiting for Don to wrangle up some guests here.
A couple of things I've watched recently.
And fully caught up on Ted Lasso.
We have two episodes left.
Nice.
They got a lot to cover in two episodes.
This is really it.
I can't imagine it being I am going to be.
I don't know how they have so much to wrap up.
So we're going to see how that works up.
I'm also fully caught up on the big door prize on Apple CD
Plus.
They don't know.
But we can keep saying the name over and over again
until they let us 10 episodes, maybe a few more than they
should have had.
Because it's based on a book.
OK.
Basically, it's a small town where this machine appears out
of nowhere over a weekend in their local convenience store.
And you go into this machine, you put in your social security
number, you scan your fingerprints, and it spits out a card.
And that card tells you your life's potential.
And when things start to line up for people,
it turns the town upside down.
Chris Dowd isn't into my big fan up.
Absolutely.
But I'm just thinking 10 episodes may be a little much.
Oh, no, you're sitting down, sir.
Oh, no, I guess.
OK.
How much time do we have?
OK.
OK.
Bad an hour.
An hour clocking from when?
About 45, it's probably.
OK, so we're at 45 now.
All right, so we'll just wrap up top of the hour.
Yeah, well, we'll wrap up top of that.
If you have anyone you're excited to talk about talk to you
right now, or you just want me to kind of bring Don's
working on that.
OK.
So that way you can do what you've got to do, brother.
If you can hear that voice to the background,
that is Mr. Schubert, who very rarely
sits down with us, because he's 90 miles an hour.
Even if Phil Festival sees 90 miles an hour, it's insane.
Third one in three weeks.
Yeah, tell us, brother, we've done all three of them this week.
Have you ever seen you work at Festival?
He must work himself today.
John Strange is not wrong.
That is very accurate.
Doc Strange is not wrong.
But as much as Thomas Schubert is one of the hardest work
in men in the show business, that man, Doc Strange,
gives him a run for his money.
Mark Wicker-Shim's also hanging out with us.
There's a Wicker-Sham in the program.
I was like, I declare shenanigans?
Hey.
I've never heard of that.
I've never met this person.
OK.
Mark claims he has never met this other Wicker-Sham
that is in the program.
Kelly out of town this weekend.
Because she's been working just as hard as the rest of us
the last three weeks.
Well, I haven't been working very hard.
Y'all have.
Oh, you've been working.
You've been doing work in other areas, sir.
I'll take that.
Did you take that?
I got corporate headshots issued next week.
I'm driving back to work in Fort Worth, New Harley.
I told you, did you wear the hardest work in people I know?
And let me tell you something.
Not only is that man one of the hardest work in people
we know, the results that that man brings.
He actually makes us look present.
I don't know how he does it.
It's called Photoshop.
There's shizzling involved.
OK, he's saying we can't be saved by Photoshop.
It has to be magic.
Oh no, I totally, what do I always
say?
I have the perfect face for radio.
I don't deny it.
But do we have people?
All right, I'm turning on the lights now.
She says hi.
It's a senior.
That's what you know, that's hard.
We asked for you guys to get on that microphone.
Get up on it.
Hello.
Oh, we are.
We are OK.
I'm going to talk to my friends.
There we go.
I'm not alone.
Do we need another?
No, we got enough chairs.
You got to sit down, too.
Oh, you're going to be the cool high school guy
that sits on the chair backwards?
No.
I have never been cool, nor will I claim to be.
That's fair.
I am not going to deny that.
The only thing I've ever been is the shortest in the class.
All right, people who are much, much younger than us.
Can't really.
People who were born and I was already married.
Tell us who you are, because this is an audio medium.
So they're not going to see you.
I am Eli Tulsa, and I am from real Alicinema high school.
How many films were you involved in this?
I was in four.
I was in two clown noses.
The cum laude trailer, pilot, and trash monster.
All right.
I want everybody to talk.
Everybody's got to say something.
My name is Chancellor Gilstrap.
I'm a senior at Ireland High School.
And this year I did three films.
I was in the senior legacy film.
I was in pilot.
And then I probably worked on another film at some point.
So I'm just going to count that one.
If you were there, it counts.
Hello, my name is Edwin Someron.
And I've gone to around four years in film.
And this year I was only involved in one film,
which was the trailer.
So I don't know maybe this is the first year I've noticed it.
But this is the first year I've noticed a legacy film.
Explain to people the concept of a legacy film.
So basically, every single year, whenever you become a senior
in the film department, you are tasked with making
with the entire class works on one film,
and that's called the legacy film.
And basically, it's our, like, it's like a send-off.
Like a goodbye.
So it could just maybe do the first year
it was labeled that way on screen.
Yes.
Because I was like, wait a minute.
Is this a new thing?
Because like, we were talking earlier.
This is our 60 year doing this.
So I was like, something, no, maybe?
So maybe the first time it was actually on the screen.
How do you pick it?
We?
Because how many seniors are there this year?
10 year, we had 10 seniors in our class.
All right.
It was a very rigorous process that we had.
So we all created our own scripts.
We submitted our scripts to the class.
And then we voted amongst ourselves.
And then whichever script was voted the best.
That's the idea that we decided to do.
But this one was actually...
I was really hoping for ThunderDome.
Well, there's too many seniors that are still
living for it to have been ThunderDome on that one.
But that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
But the question I have in that one was,
so was it individual people writing scripts?
Or was it like teams and aspects?
Yeah, it was all 10 of us individually wrote our own scripts.
So you had 10 scripts to pick for it?
And you weren't able to, was it like a case
for like, you can't vote for yours?
Because then it would have been a 10-way tie.
No, we definitely did.
We definitely could vote for ours, right?
Yeah, we could vote for our own.
But we decided not to do that.
See, I found the person who voted for it first.
Because we were allowed to do that, right?
Because I did it.
Yeah, I definitely voted for mine.
Allegedly.
My favorite word in the English language.
Get you out of a lot of trouble.
Are you at the point now?
Because I mean, this is...
You're counting hours at this point.
From four years ago to now.
Yeah.
Are you at the point yet where you've exhaled?
Are you just waiting until you walk the stage?
Because I almost tripped on my way up.
I'm not going to lie to you.
That is a true story.
Foot caught in the robe, down went Frazier almost.
But have you exhaled yet?
Are you still waiting for that moment?
After this festival, because film has kind of
been my main thing throughout my four years.
After this festival, I will take a breath.
But right now, I'm really holding my breath,
because I really want my film to win.
Because we talked about this earlier.
You guys are going to have a little pizza,
little snack, snacks, little cheeky nuggies.
And then we're going to head back to the auditorium,
which is my favorite part because they let us
give out awards, too.
You guys have seen it.
You guys know the drill.
Any plans to continue this after a month from now?
Yeah, I'm doing it for a career.
Where?
I'm going to get my associates at Community College.
And I'm going to raise money for myself to go to university
to study film out in California, Chicago, or New York.
Yeah, me too.
I mean, I've always loved film.
That's why I've stayed in the program for four years.
I love horror movies.
I love writing scripts.
I love watching movies.
I love analyzing movies.
So even if I don't do film, when I go into college,
I'm definitely going to say in the whole film thing.
And I'm going to try to just, like, spur the back.
That's your length.
I don't do horror movies.
I have a policy.
I live by a code.
I refuse to pay someone or give someone my time
to try to make me pee on myself.
Not doing it.
I feel like you should have to go.
And if they can make you mess yourself,
you have to pay double the ticket price.
They've earned it.
I watch Renfield.
That's as close as it's going to get, brother.
And if you get invited, he still backs out.
Nope.
The only time he has shown up to a screener that
would be considered horror was, I don't
want to call it by accident, but it
was more horror adjacent like Renfield.
Which one?
Using Renfield as the example.
Oh, that's another one.
But no, I don't remember stuff.
I've had too many head injuries.
What about you, my friend?
I am going to pursue finance in college,
but I still really love film.
And it's me sticking to film for four years, proves that.
And I just want to stay in film.
There's like at least a film club when I go to college.
Now with that kind of an aspect.
Let's go ahead, sir.
Oh, sorry.
For anybody that doesn't know,
I only have one eye, so I have no idea what he's doing.
He literally is blind on my side.
But with you wanting finance, and you both wanting
to stick with film, but everybody wanting
to be involved in film, could you
see yourself going into different aspects?
Like would you be going into acting or behind the camera
or working on the finance side?
They finance makes you a producer.
I was getting there, sir.
I know you're used to talking through the whole thing.
I really am.
I have my phone.
These four years of film have really
helped each and every one of us find
our own niche within the film industry.
So some are editors, some are directors,
some are cinematographers.
So just like being here, it has given us
lots of pathways and lots of ways
to go into the future.
Awesome.
Yeah, I was going to say I've never
been good in front of the camera.
All of my stuff has been kind of like pre-production,
post-production.
I mostly just like writing scripts and analyzing the movies.
So if I do go into film after high school,
that's what I'm trying to focus on,
like writing stuff and analyzing stuff,
I'm horrible at actually like shooting things.
Is there a film that you can point to
that says that's the movie that got me into film?
Yes.
Go for it.
Little Miss Sunshine.
I love that movie.
It is like I want, and that one, Okja as well.
Couple of years ago.
Yes, that was a couple of years ago.
And then obviously most recently,
everything everywhere all at once.
That's the movie last year.
Yep.
And why do you play this as otherwise?
I just, I want to make good television
that people can relate to and television or film
that people can relate to.
That line is blurry with the way Netflix and Apple
look, because we were talking earlier about things
like Ted Lasso and...
Ted Lasso, the last of us.
The big door prize is the one I'm watching right now.
That line is blurry, sir.
I wanted to say, so was pilot your passion project
if you were talking about TV?
No, my passion project was two clown noses.
Which was excellent.
Excellent.
Thank you.
But the quick shift from film to TV
was why I wanted to ask, especially since
pilot was on your list.
And I also like that there was always a pilot title card.
Well, we have to let you know.
Well, calling the show pilot.
It has nothing to do with planes.
But the other question I have with that is
somebody did start clapping after the third segment of pilot
and they're like, oh, it's still going.
All right.
Let me get you guys answers for real quicks.
We actually have a cute building up.
This is awesome.
One film got you into film.
I would say hereditary.
I mean, the first time I watched it was totally different.
The second time I watched it, the first time I watched it,
I had no idea what was going on.
I had to watch a video on YouTube and then I watched it again.
Nichols were at the free advice.
A void bow is afraid like the plane.
Now, that is your opinion, sir.
We have heard other people say they liked it.
It's three hours of my life.
I will never get back.
Have you ever seen stalker?
I'm going to go with me.
OK.
That was three hours of life.
I'll see it.
Don't see it.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Yeah.
Bow is afraid, not afraid.
Don't just go to say it.
What about you, sir?
The film that got me into film was kind of boring.
But I like rewatching old films.
So the first Jurassic Park and specifically the scene of the
Velociraptor is such a friendly kid to the kitchen.
Not.
That's an old film.
Yes.
I'm an old film.
It is.
I was nine.
I was nine.
There's an excellent choice on all four.
There's an excellent choice on all four.
There's an excellent choice on all four.
There's an excellent choice on all four.
So I want you guys to go get some food, get settled.
Thank you guys so much for hanging out best of luck tonight
because we're not going to tell you who we voted for.
All I know is if you won, I totally voted for you.
That is my blanket statement.
Come have the seats.
Come do the thing.
They're like we are not going anywhere near the table.
Howdy, howdy, howdy.
Tell everybody who you are.
Hello.
My name is Nick Robinette.
I'm in film 4.
What films will you use feature today?
I was a co-director on Come Live.
Yeah.
On the legacy film.
Which we learned about for the first time today.
I was today old when I learned about the legacy film.
Oh, I'm Gloria Cooblein and I was in Thailand.
And I was also in Thailand.
Oh, you want to come sit?
Come sit.
She's like, no, I'm okay.
I'll be over here.
We're going to tie out later.
She's scoping it out.
She's trying to get a recon mission done.
What was it like because there were so many students films?
I mean, it was almost a two hour block.
What was it like watching all the other students films while you were waiting on yours?
I actually enjoyed it because film, I enjoy it, but it's not really my passion in life.
So I really just, I like having happiness by osmosis as I like to say.
And that's something I was telling him was watching how you guys support each other is one of the coolest things ever.
Because you guys, especially as for deer, you've got all these young people behind you that are about to step in their shoes.
And I love that.
Oh, okay.
So keep in mind that I could lie about this, but I'm going to tell the truth.
I actually was not here to see most of them because I was working at like the elections.
So if you go to a good job, if you didn't reach fully acceptable, that is a fully acceptable answer.
Yeah.
Oh no, I'm a horrible person.
I would have ditched everything for the film festival.
That's right.
I'll be honest.
Yes, probably.
But like I've been hearing like everybody talking about them.
So you know, it's crazy because like we had a lot of good films this year.
So I'm really upset that I didn't get to like see what I got to the table of consensus.
I was like, wow.
Because see we got we actually watched the last 30 minutes last night.
Because we had to leave early to come here to set this up.
So we were ready.
You guys walked into the door.
Was there any taking your bias out?
Anything that you weren't in that you thought was really, really cool.
Well, I heard that, um,
journal of a teenage girl was really good.
Very good.
So, um, I'm glad I didn't get to see it.
So I'm probably going to bug Lily until we watch it.
But yeah, that one.
Yeah.
Um, for me, I just really like a lot of the stuff that Griffin had low put out this time.
Um, he had a lot of good stuff.
He had that one for me.
What was the name?
Don't look back.
Don't look back.
And there was also the film crew.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It was a couple of films.
I was like, I wish I could do it.
But that's the beauty of the program that go on high school high school.
And I say this all the time.
If this was the thing when this old guy was on that side of the table,
like I was a band kid, I totally would have done.
Because I was the kid.
I was the kid in the third grade that pushed the projector into your class.
And you loved me because you knew you saw me.
You didn't have to work for like the next three hours.
And then I was in high school.
I worked at the movie theater and did the whole thing.
And so the fact that we have high schools that do film departments,
I think it's amazing.
And has it sparked a possible career choice one?
No.
I'm actually going into elementary school education.
Nice.
But I do.
I learned a lot about myself and about others from the film program.
Like, shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Schubert.
Are they not amazing?
Like, they're just great.
Yeah.
No, I haven't, like, sparked like a career choice for me.
But it's definitely going to be something that I'll do with a hobby.
Because it just, I don't even know, like, going into film.
I was doing it for the credit.
And then I stayed just because, like, I loved it so much.
And I looked, like, writing.
I looked being a scriptwriter.
So I definitely think it'll be something that I, like, keep going.
We are now, like, do you have something to go ahead with?
I was going to say, so you were talking about it not
sparking a career choice, but talking about loving writing.
Is there a possibility that that winds up evolving into something
that you may want to do as a career?
It might.
It might.
Yeah.
The summer movie season has officially started as of yesterday.
It's true.
It's the first week of May.
Guardians Three hit.
Are there any films right now you're looking forward to seeing as a movie?
What's on your radar right now?
And it could be some of that's already been out.
Something that's coming out.
Barbie.
Barbie.
The Barbie movie.
That looks amazing.
I want to see the original script because originally it was a Schumer.
And so when Margot Robbie was like, hey, I'll do it.
They're like, we're going to need to change the script.
But it looks fantastic.
For me, probably the Barbie movie.
And I'm really excited for a Soca because I am a Star Wars fan.
And I've always loved a Soca.
I loved her in the Clone Wars.
I'm just, I'm hyped.
And I hope that they don't let me down.
How many months have I been saying this?
How many times have I been?
I know.
I know.
I'm not saying you don't.
I have literally been holding Sean hostage to watch Clone Wars to understand my love for its Ok.
He's the best.
You want your piece of trivia for today?
You know who Bruce Lee is, right?
Of course I do.
Okay, so stay with me.
Go back to her first episode in season two of the Mandalorian.
When she goes into that village and she fights that lady.
That lady is Bruce Lee's stepdaughter.
Goddaughter.
That is a true story.
Look at her.
That's crazy.
And she learned from him.
So her fighting style came from, first thing was my godfather.
And the way they presented her to translate her from the CG to the real life.
I was like, okay, you have me.
And Mandalorian getting ready for their two hour movie.
Kevin doing Kevin things.
His name is Kevin.
His name is Kevin.
As long as you don't say baby Yoda, it's okay.
Because he's not.
Yeah.
Well, we don't think so.
He's not.
He's a clone.
Don't say.
I'm not going to say anything here.
I am just not.
We are running on.
We're wasting people's time.
We're wasting people's time.
He's also a free comic book day.
So I've been doing free comic book day stuff all day.
So.
When is graduation?
May 27th.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the holiday weekend.
It is.
That's Memorial Day weekend.
You guys ready?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Congratulations on everything.
You guys all did an amazing job tonight.
Go hang out and do the things.
And we'll talk to you guys here in about an hour.
So.
Food food is good.
No, it wasn't on the show for an hour.
We had him on the show.
And where was Jorge this year?
We didn't have to see him on him at the dip this year.
All right.
We're tagging out.
Tell me who you are.
Microphones are things.
I'm Liliana Olivare.
Get right on top of it.
It's like I hear you.
I'm Liliana Olivare.
And I'm a senior in the film.
Would you work on it?
I worked on.
Hold on.
Let me check.
I got to read the number of people reading off their name tags.
He's making me laugh.
You're not wrong.
It's like.
Yeah.
But there's so much that has happened.
Look at that.
That's awesome.
Journal of a teenage girl, two clown noses,
the cum laude trailer, and trash monster.
Trash monster.
Get right up on that thing.
I'm Tase Le Verde.
And I'm also in hope for it.
I worked on trash monster.
What about these two clown noses in the cum laude trailer?
You're right up on that thing.
My name is Kathy Saldania.
And I worked on trash monster, pilot, and two clown noses.
I said it's a stellar lineup on that side of the table right now.
Sorry.
I feel inferior.
I'm used to it.
Oh, fair.
And I call that Tuesday.
Let's talk about what you guys have in common first,
because I want to get to the documentary.
Trash monster was cool because it was very sticky movie.
Talk about what it took to condense that into like the two minutes you had.
But still, we're able to tell the story.
Um, well, what was it?
Trash monster.
Trash monster.
It was like 28 seconds.
28 seconds.
That's literally what I was just looking at.
I blinked and there were credits.
Yeah.
But you still were able to tell that story in less than 30 seconds.
Yeah.
Um, well, we kind of, it was for, it was a PSA.
We're about to trailer slash PSA.
And we kind of just like drove out to the woods.
And we're like, okay, what do we do?
And we just threw it to kind of together.
And then we went back to our director's house and just started editing.
And we just came out with that.
See, this is not making me feel better.
We went out to the woods, threw it together.
And it's better than anything I've ever made.
Thank you for that.
Not wrong.
How much footage did you shoot?
How long, how long were you out there doing?
Well, we were, we were probably out there for like 30 minutes.
Which is not getting better.
30 minutes.
And that I'm waiting for the story.
I'm waiting for the, the triumph.
And it's just like, no, we just shot a thing.
There was like, we had an idea.
We're awesome.
Run the camera.
Do it.
And it came out now.
Like, what was it like seeing there watching it happen?
Because you've watched it easily a billion times since you shot it.
But now you're in an auditorium full of people.
Were you able to block out the noise and just watch the thing?
Or were you listening for people to laugh?
First of all, I was kind of covering my ears.
Like, I was very bothered by the quality drop.
Because I think one of us like sent a version that was like sent over Instagram.
So that's what got submitted.
That's the first time they show.
I sent a copy over Instagram.
It just did not show this time.
So you're saying there's a better version.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
They're about to watch it.
It wasn't like watching your work up there.
It started a whole group full of people.
I thought it was cool because that was really the first time I saw it.
I launched it like on the big screen, you know?
And I like seeing the audience.
I think it turned out good.
All you guys did amazing job.
This is actually one of our favorite shows we do every year.
Absolutely.
Because we get to see people's creative talents.
But let's talk about the documentary work.
I was watching this thing.
There is a level of vulnerability there that I was.
I had to like at one point I had to pause it and just take a break.
Because I was like, this is this runs.
It's trusty.
Yeah.
Talk about, talk about was that originally your intent to do it?
Or did it just kind of wind up that way?
So for the IB film, one of the tests is that we have to submit a complete three-minute film.
And you know, I've been in film for four years.
But I feel like I haven't really produced some like a favorite three-minute film.
So I wanted to make a three-minute film just completely by me.
And yeah, so that's what I had.
Like I think so much.
I'm just always like in my head and like.
And that's reflected like through my journal entries.
And I just.
Is that what you did?
You read your journal entries as the voiceover?
Pretty much.
Like I just went to my notes app and I copy and pasted.
What I thought was like most interesting or whatever.
And I put it together.
Now, how long were you shooting for those individual films?
I know some of them are archive from back in the day that.
That was definitely a lot of jumping.
But it was incredibly.
No, I know exactly what you're saying.
But yeah, I know where you're coming from.
But I was curious because I was I figured like, okay, she absolutely this is a real journal.
But how long were you doing like video journals or with these just separate videos that you had?
Yeah, so I I didn't have any intention of like with those videos like putting them in something.
They were just videos from my camera roll.
Like they were they were all just photos and videos that I had taken.
Because sometimes I can be a bit like focused on myself image.
And I just record myself to make shoes a lot.
So yeah.
And you mentioned in that you are going to the University of Colorado?
Yes.
I'm hanging out with the crying time.
He's going to be there.
What about you guys?
What's next?
I went to the University of Texas at Dallas to study computer science.
That is a beautiful time.
Where did the show Henry fam went there?
Yes.
I'm going to Texas A&M Commerce University for music education.
Lions?
Yes.
A&M Commerce Lions.
See you.
I'm getting it.
I'm getting it.
See, I hear A&M and I just tune out a little bit.
I'm sorry.
The greatest conference in college football out of this because the SCC is amazing.
It is?
Don't deny it.
When have I ever disagreed with you?
I'm just saying it.
Don't deny it.
I've lost my train of football.
Well, I'm going to fully come.
I actually cried watching.
We started.
I'm not even.
I'm not even.
Well, I can imagine.
Because the vulnerability, I can just imagine like if I could even put myself remotely in that position.
I'd be like, yeah, I would just be faking that I'm dying and leave.
I can't, I can't do this.
I was originally planning to just leave before it and then suddenly it was on screen.
And I had forgotten because I was watching the other film.
And then I just had to sit there.
I got it.
All right.
So one quick question.
I'm going to let you guys go hang out.
What's the movie coming out or is out now that you're supposed to forward to seeing it?
I love this one of my favorite questions to ask, especially at this show,
because I want to know what you guys are looking forward to.
Barbie.
You're not wrong.
It's the film.
What's amazing?
It took social media by storm a couple.
I'm not over the term of energy yet.
That's my problem.
I guess this is the first time I've heard it.
You have not.
I don't want you to try not to watch trailers.
It wasn't in the trailer.
All I saw was the things and the pictures on the social media.
Okay.
We're taking their time away.
Please.
I'm excited for it.
It came out last night.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
It's amazing that you could probably find a review for that at www.fothousepodcast.com.
That is our website.
Thank you.
I'm also looking forward to Barbie.
And then there's this one new film that has Rob Pattinson,
or is going to have Rob Pattinson and Love Rob Pattinson.
I don't know what he's got coming up.
I am drawing a blank as well.
I did love the Batman.
They're working on the second Batman.
I know that.
Yeah.
We'll have to look into that one and get it.
But if I may step in.
Please sir.
Is there anywhere that the cleaner cut of trash monster is going to be posted?
Or would you like to send it to Rob at www.fothousepodcast.com.
And we'll put it on the site.
We'll do that.
Yeah.
I have the technology.
Yes.
You do.
Because I run the website.
Wait.
Is that happening already?
I got excited.
I was like, we'll do it for the end of the show.
No.
We're in the cafeteria.
The cell cover just terrible.
We don't know that.
We're posting this later.
And I think it's...
I think there's a reason.
All right.
You guys go enjoy the rest of the evening.
We're going to see you guys back in the auditorium here in just a few minutes.
Thank you guys for sitting down.
Man, that was a great neck case on this episode.
Yeah, it was.
We started out.
Oh my god.
We are finishing top of the hour.
Yes.
So we're already...
But until we have more.
Don, you got to watch the time.
Because we have to be off at the top of the hour.
Yeah.
We got eight.
Yeah.
He came by top of the hour.
And as if that wasn't enough talent sitting across the table from us.
Last time, now I feel even further inferior.
Tell us who you guys trusted.
What you worked on.
Hi.
I'm Griffin Hublot.
And I worked on Don't Look Back.
And after hours, street art.
So I'm forgetting now.
It's on your name tag.
OK.
This one thing I have...
The first person who tries to remember it and I have learned tonight is it's on the name tag.
Then you're my way home.
And the film club.
All right.
The film group.
Thank you.
Talk right to that microphone, sir.
Oh, sir.
Yes, sir.
My name is Farsi Tanha.
I worked on trying on faces after hours in the film crew and the immigrant experience.
My name is Swardo.
I worked on which ones I worked on.
I don't have my name tag.
I don't know.
I don't even have a name tag.
They didn't give me one.
But I worked on You're My Way Home.
And I also worked on Don't Look Back.
I want to talk about.
You're my way home a little bit.
Because this is Alex's first year doing this show.
There is a band.
The band that does this song.
Not just what they're name.
I come to Shanghai.
I come to Shanghai.
They actually give the kids rights to the music for them to make the videos from.
And that cuts off a question I had.
Yeah.
And they basically get the access to their catalog.
And there's at least one or two every year that they do.
Awesome.
When you're trying to...
Because when you're doing something like film crew after hours, don't look back.
You control the time frame.
Right?
Because it's your narrative.
When you're doing a music video,
that artist is controlling the time frame.
Does that change your approach to the filmmaking?
I mean, yeah.
Sure.
At least the lyrics.
The story has an impact on the story a lot.
And even the beat has like...
You got to...
You got to time things with the same beat, you know?
Like, if the character's realizing something,
then like the bassist got to drop or, you know, like...
Make it more powerful.
The bass hits and everybody's just standing there.
That doesn't work.
Yeah, at all.
But...
Because I've always found music video production.
I feel like that would be more,
a little bit more stressful.
Because your contain to that can be...
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
Are you?
Okay.
You're contained to that 305-310.
Whereas when you're working on something like After Hours,
I, first of all, is there a director's cut?
And how long is that?
Yeah.
Because I'm a big fan of a mockumentary, in general.
So, with After Hours, we actually had an idea...
Well, in the original script, right?
We had multiple classrooms.
We would be going in multiple classrooms,
maybe messing things around.
But, you know, we were told to cut the time down,
so we only made it one classroom.
Oh, after I was just at the mockumentary,
it's the film crew, that's the mockumentary.
Yes.
But after I was still...
After Hours, it was awesome.
Visually, it was awesome.
No, I wanted to hear it.
Like, is there a half-hour cut that you did just because,
with all of that?
Because I know we're not supposed to say anything,
but I could say all three here.
At least in strong consideration for best.
To me...
I would rather...
With...
Film crew, after Hours, don't look back.
All three of you stood out immensely to me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Film three...
Yeah, we're all film crew.
Oh, so you got to go to the year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't even go here.
I don't even go here.
That's not the second time this month somebody has said that.
Is it?
Is there anything, because, you know, film four, right around the corner?
Is there anything you're already planning?
Or does that man right there dictate everything?
Oh, no.
Actually, I don't know where you don't have to turn around.
It's Mr. Shriver.
There's films that I'm planning currently.
Well, they're not in production currently,
but we're soon starting a production.
See, he already knows Hollywood talk.
Where?
What am I doing?
Of course he does.
I'm pointing out that he's the VP.
Oh, okay.
I don't have any glasses on.
I can't get the glasses any earbuds in there.
That's great.
All right.
So, for our next film project, we already have that.
We're about to start production on it.
Last year I did a John the Musical, right?
That was fun.
Which I loved John the Musical.
So, for my next film, I'm doing like a sort of rap battle type.
I'm here for it.
I'm full.
I'm here for it.
I'm excited to make it.
That's fun.
Yeah.
Is there a film maker that you look up to more than the others?
Damn.
Film maker.
What?
I'm going to be honest.
So, the Robert Rodriguez, the director, he made the Spy Kids films.
And Sharkboy and Lava Girl when I was growing up.
And those are always been my friends.
Oh, hold on.
I need to go find back pain medication.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm leaving.
I got half a century stereo.
No, we don't want to drop off in talent.
What about you guys?
Well, you know, I'm inspired by those, I guess,
Wes Anderson is a big one.
I love that people are doing what, like, apparently,
they're like, what if Wes Anderson directed the Avengers?
Yeah.
I love that video.
And then SNL did, like, if he did a horror film, it was awesome.
That's cool.
And then James Cameron, I love his work.
But I heard he's not the nicest guy.
I have heard the same.
I may want to work with him someday.
I will refuse to answer.
I did.
Stupid Boat Movie and Thunder Smurfs.
I'm out.
I don't care if he did.
T2.
Start.
As far as directors, I'm not really into the directing movies.
I enjoy it, but I'm not, like, as into it as they are.
I can say, like, as actors, I really got to people like Oscar Isaac.
He wants all the geek cred right now.
What?
He had been Nathan Philly and want all the geek cred.
I'm doing that.
Yeah.
Be personally, I look up to him because I'm like, I'm a Latino.
And so when I look, when I see people that are kind of in the same background as me doing
things like that on the big screen, I always think, wow, maybe I could do that too.
Is he one of those guys that, if you just see his name on the marquee there, I don't care what it is.
Exactly.
I don't know if I've got anybody like that anymore.
Sorry.
I don't know if I've got anybody on that level.
This granted, I did see Tusk, so Kevin's on that list.
Yeah, absolutely.
I was actually talking to somebody about that yesterday trying to explain a 24.
I'm a Kevin Smith nerd.
I have been since 94.
He made a huge announcement on social media this week.
But I think he's probably the one like his name's on the marquee.
Spielberg is always going to be Spielberg.
And I'm one of those people like, I like Fabelmans.
I love Fabelmans.
Yeah.
I was kind of when I was watching the screener I had.
I felt like it dragged on once Judd Hirsch showed up though.
Like, then that movie was off to the races.
Do you guys have been a lot of time reading, looking up stuff on the filmmaking process?
Or do you kind of feel like it's better for you?
And from the acting aspect, would you just feel like I've learned more as I'm doing?
So when it comes to like the production, so for a project for our class,
we had to do research on certain films, right?
And so I watched Furious 7, right?
Furious.
Fast Furious, I always like Fast Furious.
Furious 7 was really good.
Then I watched the behind the scenes and I was like,
I'm like imagining them just holding the cars up.
And I'm like, this doesn't seem as well as I thought.
All you have to say about that series is the rock punches a torp.
That's all you need.
That's the entire series right now.
And they went to space in a Pontiac Fiero.
I'm still trying to...
No, I'm still mad at that.
I'm still mad at that.
What about you?
I mean, yeah, I guess I do some research.
But, you know, like you really learn the most from like doing it.
And then like seeing mistakes.
All right, well they're giving us the highest sign because we're going to go back across the way.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys do next year.
Absolutely.
As long as they'll have us, we'll keep showing them.
And credit to Stuart for being the first guest to actually just move the microphone to himself all day.
I've always said that when we do it's remote shows.
When we're dealing with the entertainment industry.
How come none of them know how to use a microphone?
I've never understood it.
Well, all three of them got it.
I thought they got it.
All right, gentlemen, thank you so much.
