Trailer Talk & Go To Editors

Episode 11 finds Ricky, Piotr and Erwann start off talking about the trailer Ricky’s cutting for a feature film with no dialogue. To title card or not to title card? Erwann, who’s cut many trailers for French TV and action-films, gives advice and insight on cutting a compelling and honest trailer. The dudes go down a rabbit hole of dishonest trailers, trailers that are better than the films and then, surprisingly, YouTube watch-time. There’s talk of maybe changing the podcast to “Trailer Talk.” Then Erwann leads a conversation about The Go-To-Editor (not a sponsor) and how professional development programs like it and others positively impacted their lives and careers.  It’s more than just improving your skills, there’s a community ripe with new friendships and professional connections, People! And surprise! We talk about imposter syndrome! Ricky and Erwann mention how it’s anxiety inducing breaking the ice at meet-ups and talking to editors/ directors you admire. Per-usual, they wrap the episode with watch lists; Ricky - Mad God and Mississippi Burning; Erwann - Rapid Fire, Ghost Busters: Frozen Empire and Bad Boys: Ride or Die and Piotr reads a book: Humiliated and Insulted by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
