Crossing the 180: The Filmmakers Podcast That Breaks the Rules
About this original series
The newest creation from F-Stop Beyond host/creator Ron Dawson, this is to filmmakers what F-Stop Beyond is to photographers. Since Ron is a filmmaker himself, he could no longer fight the urge to have the same kind of in-depth, poignant and personal conversations with professionals in his industry. And like FSB, guests run the gamut from the obvious to the obscure. Established professionals in Hollywood like X-Men producer Ralph Winter, or Terminator: Salvation DP Shane Hurlbut; to social media juggernauts like international cinematographer and HD DSLR guru Philip Bloom; to amazing short film filmmakers like fellow Atlanta local Brandon McCormick of Whitestone Motion Pictures; and even wedding and event filmmakers like wunderkind and USC film grad Kevin Shahinian. Many more are already in the can and/or in the works.

PressPausePlay Directors Victor Köhler & David D...
A few weeks ago I watched a documentary that I believe every visual artist and musician needs to see. Today!

Today I'm honored to have on the show, all the way from Sweden, the co-directors of the film Victor Köhler and David Dworsky. David and Victor share with us how they, with no formal film school training, and at the tend...

Episode #51 - Matt Jeppsen
Today's guest is a man who knows his stuff. To sit and listen to him prattle off filmmaking tech jargon is like listening to "klingon." I've poked fun over the past couple weeks at this "geek talk," most openly in a recent episode of The Flip Side. I'm speaking of none other than Matt Jeppsen of FreshDV.com. We have a great conversation about the terms we filmmakers call ourselves, Matt's journey from IT to filmmaker, the start of FreshDV.com, the importance of differentiating yourself as a cr...

Episode #50: Vincent Laforet
November 3, 2011 was quite a whirlwind of a day for filmmakers all across the world.

Today on the show we have one of the few filmmakers allowed to make a pre-production short film on the camera; the man who is largely responsible for the aforementioned digital filmmaking evolution—Mr. Vincent Laforet himself. As is customary, w...

Episode 47: Jared Abrams
No, this is not a title for a groundbreaking Supreme Court ruling. It's a reference to today's guest guest and the documentary film he's shooting. Jared is a seasoned filmmaker and cinematographer (and he can really call himself that as he's worked extensively with actual 35mm films). He's co-founder of Wide Open Camera in Los Angeles, CA and has been a major contributor of knowledge and gear to the burgeoning DSLR filmmaking crowd, reporting for the popular site Cinema5D, and selling various ...

Episode #44: Matt Koval
YouTube has become so much more than just a site filled with viral videos of cute kittens or toddlers stoned on laughing gas. It's a place where some amazing filmmakers go post work that is highly entertaining and inspirational. Today I continue my series on online filmmakers with Matt Koval, one of the winners of YouTube's NextUp contest. Matt has garnered quite a following and name for himself, particularly because of his comedy series "The Fuplers" (see an episode on the blog post for this ...
