S4E190: Vertical Film Frenzy - Guerrilla Filmmaking on Crack
On Get Reelisms Podcast episode 190, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen discuss Christine’s pre-birthday desert camping trip to see the Lyrids meteor shower, her hiatus from AD work to regain creative peace, and her return to making quick-turnaround vertical sketch comedies for YouTube/Instagram, including projects with Banana TV and a 10-episode series with her friend Myleene about friends whose hangouts always turn into film work. They explore the rise of verticals and branded micro-dramas, noting union vertical developments and emphasizing improving writing and framing so verticals need not be cheesy, citing examples like a cinematic vertical inspired by Elon Musk and their own high-intensity vertical shoot that required block shooting and strong AD/script supervision. They debate unions versus low-budget vertical realities, then shift to AI as a workflow tool while criticizing AI replacing art and warning about declining Gen Z literacy tied to ChatGPT. The episode ends with a plug for GetReelisms.com and upcoming guests.

S4E189: A Slice of Cinema: John Valley and 'American Dollhouse
On the Get Reelisms Podcast, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen interview Austin director Jon Valley about his new slasher film American Dollhouse, which premiered at South by Southwest and begins a festival run. Valley explains the film’s origin in both love of the slasher “sandbox” and the dissonance of modern American life where everyday public spaces feel unsafe; he also drew inspiration from a friendly neighbor to create a twisted, Norman Rockwell-style antagonist. He gives a logline: a woman inherits her childhood home after her estranged mother dies, but the house is falling apart and a doppelgänger-like neighbor becomes obsessed, leading to a daylight, Christmas-set neighbor slasher. Valley discusses proto-slasher influences (Psycho, Black Christmas, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), using metaphor-driven drama, prioritizing actors and sound design, shooting on a Sony Venice in 4:3, a 15-day December 2024 shoot, a challenging third-act set build, and developing a future creature feature.

S4E188: The Filmmaking Grind - Do NOT wait for the cavalry
Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen celebrate reaching 188 episodes of the Get Reelisms filmmaking podcast and discuss recent updates, including interviewing now–Oscar winner Sam Davis for The Singers and the rarity of Oscar ties. They review the Oscars, noting One Battle After Another winning Best Picture, Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor, Hamnet winning Best Actress, and Sinners winning Best Original Screenplay, plus Timothée Chalamet’s comment about ballet. They reflect on shrinking attention spans and the frustration of people assuming films must be on Netflix, emphasizing how hard Netflix placement is. Christine shares that a behind-the-scenes photo from her 2017 film Shakespeare on the Range is exhibited at the Academy Museum and recounts early-career learning experiences. She also announces a hiatus from first AD work to focus on directing, writing, teaching, and a branded sketch project, Friends in Film, while they discuss DIY filmmaking, vertical video’s rise, and changing budgets. Adam plugs his Create Your Own Content course on getreelisms.com.
