5 lessons from my podcast with Ali Plumb

Enjoyed popping along to the Climate Content Summit yesterday 📺. Interesting talks and a met a few potential podcast guests too! 🤫

Thank you to for the introductions

Couple of pics from the recent British Film Designers Guild Awards where we recorded our most recent episode.

It was only right to get suited and booted for our glittering lineup of guests!

Today’s guest is simply one of the most accomplished costume designers ever.

Starting out on features including Michael Mann’s Manhunter she has since travelled the world designing tens of the our most beloved films including The Silence of the Lambs, Philidelphia and the Fantastic Beasts Series.

Most notable about her career though, is her longstanding relationships with Directors Tim Burton and Rob Marshall which produced the likes of Edward Scissorhands, Chicago, Alice in Wonderland, Dumbo, Memoirs of a Geisha and next year, Disney’s Live action Little Mermaid.

On that journey, she picked up 4 Oscars and 3 BAFTA wins making her one of the most decorated people we’ve ever had on the show, my guest is Colleen Atwood.

This is for the actors!

Go and grab your shine box people because this is a big one!

Today's guest is one of the key creative decision makers behind a number of the world's most well-loved movies. Beginning her career casting under the legendary Juliet Taylor, she later went out alone, casting beloved titles including Forrest Gump, The Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia and Scent of A Woman.

It has been her collaborations though that have made up a bulk of her incredible career, notably her three films with Steven Spielberg and a collaboration with Martin Scorsese that runs all the way back to the 80s including Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed and many, many more. My guest is Ellen Lewis. 

In the episode we discuss Ellen being introduced to the mafia by Ray Liotta on Goodfellas, casting Forrest Gump and The Devil Wears Prada, what makes a perfect headshot for actors, how Margot Robbie got her star turn in The Wolf of Wall Street and much more. It’s a cracker.

He directed the first animated movie ever to be nominated for Best Picture. I think he knows what he’s talking about!

New podcast! Today’s guest is a multi-hyphenate animator, director, writer, and storyboard wizard. Gaining an early directing credit working on Disneyland's Cranium Command he was soon thrust into feature direction on historic classics such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and of course, Beauty and the Beast, the first animated movie to ever be nominated for best picture. My guest is Mr Kirk Wise.
