Co-directors of the short film, The Cold, Jay Sutherland and Anthony (AJ) Davies, discuss filmmaking on a micro-budget. Anthony and Jay recount the details of that process; the challenges they faced and how they overcame them; from filming in a foreign country, to the meticulous and often laborious visual effects and editing process, on an ever-changing, constantly tight, budget. In spite of all of the challenges and difficulties, the end-product was a film which was accepted at numerous international film-festivals, received a High Commendation, and has acted as a stepping-stone for some interesting projects.Hopefully this podcast will be interesting to young and experienced film-makers alike; those who might stand to learn something, and those who simply enjoy listening to filmmakers regale tales of an unusual film-making process.The Cold was co-directed by AJ Davies and Jay Sutherland, written by the Bram Stoker award-winning novelist, Kealan Patrick Burke, and starred Kacey Clarke (of Resident Evil: Afterlife and The Inbetweeners) alongside Jay.

As the final cycle closes, Jamie and Cian attempt to gather the remnants of their scattered minds. Will a cohesive discussion transpire, or was there never cohesion to begin with?

The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning. Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Ich bin du.   Join Cian and Jamie as they plunge headfirst into the existential masterpiece that is Dark.

"Actions speak louder than words". That's what our guest, Zuby, believes.In ThinkBait we dive into thought-provoking subjects, with guests who give us something to ponder. Zuby is a rapper, author of the fitness book, ‘Strong Advice’, and has risen to prominence online thanks to his unique perspectives on subjects some might find contentious. For example, you may already be aware of him after his infamous deadlifting video went viral, in which he claimed to identify as a woman, but only for the duration of the five-second lift. During this conversation, we ended up talking about more philosophical issues: the difference between good faith and bad faith discourse, miscomprehension or misinterpretation, the value of money - or people’s misplacement in its importance, and religion. I could have spoken to him for hours, which would have given us the opportunity to challenge each other’s ideas more… but with a limited amount of time, it felt right just to let Zuby air his thoughts and muse aloud. Zuby was extremely generous with his time, and I really appreciate the opportunity to pick his brain – I really hope you enjoy it, too. - Jamie Learn more about Zuby: Zuby's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BadMan31311Zuby's Podcast, RealTalk: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/real-talk-with-zuby/id1449384242Zuby's twitter: @ZubyMusicZuby's book, 'Strong Advice': https://teamzuby.com/products/strong-advice-zubys-guide-to-fitness-for-everybody Music for intro and outro: Awake, by Scott Holmes - scottholmesmusic.com Casual Corns on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4L_ywzkys0AWjiKe-fPPIA Casual Corns ThinkBait on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0jaHL0HzOSqVqUZWUZgnBA Casual Corns on Twitter: @casualcorns
