Micro Film

This isn’t the episode I had planned to do, but it was a fun one to put together.

I had promised to bring an interview with Tracy D. Smith, director of Taming “Tammy” but things didn’t come together (I am, as it happens interviewing her later today – Good Friday.) and I didn’t want to be any later getting the episode up than I already was.

I get into this in the episode, but by a piece of good fortune I ran into Murray Gable who wrote the theme song for the podcast, and also wrote a song specifically for a scene in ‘The Beast of Bottomless Lake.’  His band, The Pucks, were playing a gig in town so I ran out to see them.  It was good fun.  They saw me in the audience and said ‘hi’ from stage… oh how I like feeling like a celebrity.

I ended up having dinner that night with the other two members of the band, Cindy and Lloyd Larsen.

The next day I was conducting auditions for ‘Derby,’ the short film I’m producing this summer.  Murray came out and auditioned (and, I can now add, earned a small role in the film with a refreshingly honest performance.)

Murray and I had a chance to sit down while I was taking a lunch break and have a quick discussion which I recorded and it became my feature interview this episode.  You can actually hear me eating during the interview – apologies for that.  Multi-tasking.  I wish I’d had a chance to prep for the interview so I could have asked more and better questions, but we did organically drift into a discussion about a potential future collaboration.  It struck me as interesting so I’ve included it in the interview.

I also give some post hoc thoughts on the auditions in this episode.  And there is a preview of sorts of the song “More than Just a Woman” (it’s an early mix still) from “The Beast of Bottomless Lake.”

I have three interviews set up for the next week or so, so for the next little while I’ll be back on track as far as accurately predicting who my next interview will be… I may even go back on my promise to bring you my interview with Iris Quinn next week and bring back my conversation with Tracy D. Smith that I’ll be doing in a few hours.

Anyhow…

THE SHOW NOTES!

Murray’s website Gable Music doesn’t exist anymore, but in lieu here’s a link to another show that featured one of his songs.

We shot the scene in question at one of my favourite local watering-holes, Falconetti’s if you’re in Vancouver go and have their Yucatan Chicken sausage and tell them you heard about it on my podcast.

And of course, for the umpteenth time (and, I swear, the last for a while as I’m running out of excuses to plug them) here’s a link to The Pucks.

Next Episode:  Acting Coach, Iris Quinn?  Director, Tracy D. Smith?  I SWEAR it WILL be one of them.
