NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Days 6-8 + Wrap Up
After 8 exhausting and exhilarating days, the 2012 NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL is at an end. I was so consumed with the fest and my day job that I haven’t had a free moment to post on The Film Talk for the past three days. Here’s what I saw Tuesday though Thursday. LA CAMIONETA: THE JOURNEY [...]
NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Day 5
While I sit in theatre chairs waiting for films to begin, my mind wanders. At film festivals, my mind wanders farther, deeper, and, at the end of 11 solid hours of screenings, straight off the deep end. Occasionally, I think of little nuggets to post. For example: Things to Bring to a Film Festival: 1. [...]
NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Day 4
I’ll have to make this one quick. I have to leave to see ELENA in 25 minutes. First up on Sunday was BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING, a very nice documentary about artist and former Chattanooga resident Wayne White. Wayne is responsible for designing and voicing Randy, Dirty Dog, and other puppets on Pee Wee’s Playhouse. For [...]
NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Day 3
After assembling my list of films to see at the 2012 NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL, I worked out a schedule. Unbelievably, Saturday (the day with potentially the largest audience of the fest) was bare. I had PILGRIM SONG at 1pm and V/H/S at 10pm with nothing in between. So I re-studied the films and worked out [...]
NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Days 1 & 2
As I write this, the clock strikes 12AM on Saturday morning, and I come upon a realization: I’m going to be doing quite a lot of hustling this week. For the past two nights, I’ve hustled from work to cinema, cinema to concert, concert to computer, and computer to (presumably) bed. And those were the [...]
2012 NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Preview
Tony Youngblood here coming back from a long absence to tell you about the 2012 NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL, beginning today at the Regal Green Hills Stadium 16. I helped Jett and Gareth engineer The Film Talk podcast live from the fest for the last two years. While they won’t be able to attend this year, [...]
NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Day 3
For my third day at the Nashville Film Festival, I screened three of the best movies in the fest: Steve James’ THE INTERRUPTERS, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES, and James Marsh’s PROJECT NIM. I began the day engineering The Film Talk podcast live at the festival. Jett and Gareth interviewed [...]

NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Day 2
I’m a few days behind on my day-to-day Nashville Film Fest posts, and for that I blame the Nashville Film Fest. The schedule is so chocked full with must-sees, I don’t have a moment to catch my breath. I am trying to get this particular post out in the 25 minutes left on my lunch [...]
Episode 168 – Nashville Film Festival / Ursula Lawrence – Writers Guild of America East / SUBMARINE
In today’s show Gareth and I talk with Writers Guild of America East Lead Strategic Organizer Ursula Lawrence, discuss the new coming of age laugher SUBMARINE, and touch lightly on THE SLEEPING BEAUTY, 13 ASSASSINS and UNCLE BOONME WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES as part of the 2011 Nashville Film Festival.
NASHVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Day 1
My first day of The Nashville Film Festival was filled with some pretty spectacular cinema. Takashi Miike’s new film 13 ASSASSINS is a few dials less crazy than his average fair and a few notches more assured. Cut from the SEVEN SAMURAI mold, the film follows a group of samurai as they plot to kill [...]
Episode 167 – An Interview with Monte Hellman / ROAD TO NOWHERE
In this week’s show Gareth and I join director Monte Hellman to discuss his film ROAD TO NOWHERE as part of the 2011 Nashville Film Festival.

Incredibly Gareth and I are in the same place at the same time Dear Reader – the 2011 Nashville Film Festival! We’ll be doing at least four shows from the fest – the first one kicks off tomorrow – an interview with TWO-LANE BLACKTOP/COCKFIGHTER director Monte Hellman.
Youngblood on Film: The Nashville Film Festival
Greetings all. My intention for this week’s “Youngblood on Film” was to chart an emerging genre of filmmaking spearheaded by Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao Hsien, Shunji Iwai, and others: Cinema Anima. But the project is proving too ambitious, the story too unwieldy, and the deadline too . . . erm . . .expired. We’ll return [...]
