I just wanted to give a huge congats to all those involved on the big win at the Pittsburgh Independent Film Festival last night (June 22, 2018). The feature indie horror film was selected as Best Made in PA ! I just want to give a shout-out to KVT Productions and Nickel 17 Productions for all their hard work to get it screened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and beyond! To know how this film came to be, check out all of the previous podcasts where we discuss the production, available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and YouTube.

A new episode of Decipher the Media is now live on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and YouTube! Body Farm will be screened TONIGHT, June 22nd at 8pm at the Father Ryan Arts Center as part of the Pittsburgh Independent Film Festival . Back before the premiere of our indie film Body Farm in January, I had the chance to sit down with Brandon Keenan (Actor, Co-Producer, Co-Director) and Gena Weiss (Actor) about their roles on the production of Body Farm. We touched on what it took to get into their roles in front of the camera. We also discussed a lot of what went on behind the camera and the kind of fun we had while producing the film. And, as this is a horror film, we touched on the gory effects that made this production come to life. From beginning to end, here are the many things that go into producing an independent horror feature film!

So, Adobe Audition is a giant dumpster fire right now, which has been causing a lot of lost data and frustration. Even Adobe has addressed the issue . Here's hoping there's a fix soon. Anyway, long story short, I uploaded a post-crash file of the podcast, which clearly had some issues. So, here's the re-upload: Let me know if something is still not working right. I haven't gone through and tested all the current versions available for iTunes, Google, etc. I love technology. Always reliable. Anyway, check out this episode and all others available on all the popular podcast apps!

What goes into the practical effects that you see on screen or stage? How do they make the makeup or effects really stand out? Well, those are trade secrets of the artists involved with this magic. However, we did touch on that work as I sat down with Lindsey Donley and Shay Francis, professionals in Makeup SFX. From their time at the Tom Savini School to their work in the indie film and theater communities, these two talk about how all this has played a very integral role on each project they have been a part of. Now live: Decipher the Media Episode #5:
