  • Summary

  • ‘Cinema and the Psyche’ is a personal exploration into the nature of cinema, the psyche, and how they interrelate. From the pure magic of motion reproduced, to the addition of motion capture and CGI, the cinematic medium has always been more mystery than revelation to the filmmaker and viewer. This podcast is for discovering what cinema is, and by doing so, we may just uncover what it can be; not in art installations or museums, but in our multiplexes and independent cinemas.

  • Episode Six of ‘Cinema and the Psyche’: What’s Important

    Episode Six of ‘Cinema and the Psyche’: What’s Important
    Sep 20 2017
      Here we are again, later than desired, but here never-the-less. I wanted to discuss what’s actually important – primarily for the writer/director of cinema (apologies to all others). I’m torn slightly, as staying away from accepted paths has allowed me to keep my mind – well, mine! It has kept my philosophy sharp and evolving quickly. And yet, the longer I stay away from accepted ‘paths’ the longer is delayed my collaborations with others; which is a necessity in cinema. I take these years of personal development as an important aspect of the journey to making movies, and go on funneling everything right into my creative preparation. Hope you enjoy the podcast, and find it useful on your own path.

  • Episode Five of ‘Cinema and the Psyche’: Visual Language in Cinema

    Episode Five of ‘Cinema and the Psyche’: Visual Language in Cinema
    Aug 7 2017
      Episode five is all about exploring visual language in cinema, beginning with a deeper look at symbolism and then finishing off with a little about camera usage. It’s my feeling that visual language, like the written word, is suffering in our present culture, and this is disturbing simply because the broad use of words, or the broad understanding and use of visual language in cinema corresponds to a broad and deep perception of reality. As the language shrinks, or becomes outright lost, so to do ideas and concepts that require language to be conveyed. The cinema is particularly interesting in regards to language because like a supreme intelligence may do, you have the entire material world to use as a symbol set. You are the creator voice of a divination tool brought to audiences through the medium of a dark room, big screen and first class sound system. Cinema is complex, and like any great art form, it should be. To master it is likely beyond everyone’s reach, but

  • Episode Four of Cinema and the Psyche: The Trivium for Screenwriting

    Episode Four of Cinema and the Psyche: The Trivium for Screenwriting
    Jul 29 2017
      In this episode I’m sharing a process I’ve used for writing my latest screenplay. It’s based on the Trivium, coming from ancient Greek classical education. The Trivium was the first three of seven essential subjects. After coming across this really useful tool, I eventually saw how I could apply it to screenwriting and so adopted it. If you find these sessions valuable, consider dropping in to my Patreon page and support the ongoing (and improving) production of the podcast.
