10 - Dick Griffin Wants His MTV! With Matt Jatkola and JP DiSciscio
Bye Bye Celluloid
Who is Dick Griffin, you ask? Before you give this episode a listen, head to YouTube and watch the music video “Don’t Come Knockin’” by JATK (pronounced “Jack”). You’ll want to hear more from the band, and you’ll wonder why a video that looks like it was recorded forty years ago on a well-worn videotape would be making its debut online in 2023. Don’t worry—this episode of BYE BYE CELLULOID’s got you covered. Guests MATT JATKOLA (frontman of JATK) and JP DISCISCIO (director, Overdue Films; back for his third appearance) are on hand to discuss the ingenious creative process...

09 - Film Book Frenzy! With J.P. DiSciscio
Bye Bye Celluloid
BYE BYE CELLULOID is back, and so is former show guest J.P. DISCISCIO, whose recent short film POOR GLENNA has been making the rounds internationally at film festivals. For this episode, J.P. and Brad have each made a list of film books that impacted them, and they take turns discussing their picks — with plenty of digressions along the way: the language of editing, “impossible film guides,” the Czech New Wave, McLuhanesque experimental paperbacks, directorial autonomy, and…”anemoia,” I think they call it? THE LIST: The Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb...

07 - Bill Ackerman - Part One
Bye Bye Celluloid
On his podcast SUPPORTING CHARACTERS, Bill Ackerman eschews the common movie podcast approach -- that is, structuring episodes around specific films and/or filmmakers -- and instead highlights the work of writers, podcasters, fanzine publishers, programmers, preservationists, and others who make it possible for wider audiences to gain access to (and appreciation for) cinema outside the mainstream. This is Part One of a two-part interview recorded in December 2018. Supporting Characters on the Now Playing Network: Follow Bye Bye Celluloid: Facebook Twitter ...

04 - The Very Long Shot
Bye Bye Celluloid
AUDIO COLLAGE: You’ve heard it before — “Know the rules before you break them.” But isn’t that a rule? And once you know it, is it okay to break it? Listen as a dizzying array of authoritative-sounding voices guides you through the rules of cinematic storytelling, then tells you to abandon those rules, then describes some alternatives, then discourages those alternatives because they’re too confusing to audiences. I guess you’re on your own! Dialogue excerpts derived from the Prelinger Archive and archive.org Music: “On Matters of Consequence (Act I)” by Lloyd...

03 - I See Your Pointe with Shaun Clarke
Bye Bye Celluloid
Boston-based cinematographer and filmmaker Shaun Clarke guests to discuss dance film (or cinedance, or choreo-cinema...take your pique!). Along with covering Shaun’s numerous projects in this genre, we talk about the collaborative process involved in making a dance film, and the challenges and benefits of arriving at the genre from a filmmaker’s background rather than a dancer’s. And much more! View some of Shaun Clarke’s dance films: "Love or Farewell” The Bynars - “Time vs. Money” “Dancing in Space” Like the Bye Bye Celluloid...

01 - Pixel Visionaries with Jon Dorn
Bye Bye Celluloid
While the big studios toil away at The LEGO Batman Movie, Despicable Me 3, Toy Story 4, and other computer-generated cash cows, a number of today's independent animators are largely responsible for keeping traditional hand-drawn animation alive--but without rejecting digital technology outright. Jon Dorn is one such "tradigital" animator. In this episode, I sit down with Jon to discuss his work, his influences, and the worldview that informs his cartoons and other creative output. Visit Jon Dorn's website: jondornart.com Watch his short film "The Pentimento of...

You’ll want to hear more from the band, and you’ll wonder why a video that looks like it was recorded forty years ago on a well-worn videotape would be making its debut online in 2023. Don’t worry—this episode of BYE BYE CELLULOID’s got you covered. Guests MATT JATKOLA (frontman of JATK) and JP DISCISCIO (director, Overdue Films; back for his third appearance) are on hand to discuss the ingenious creative process behind the “Don’t Come Knockin’” music video, from concept to execution.

As an added bonus, Matt, JP and I have put together lists of our favorite music videos. These were going to be a part of the episode itself, but we were barely able to start discussing our picks before we ran out of time. Instead, you can see our lists in full with some additional commentary at https://byebyecelluloid.wordpress.com/ep-10-extra-jatk-overdue-films-bye-bye-celluloid-pick-their-favorite-music-videos/
