In episode 163 I chat with producer and director Steve Weiss, one of the founders of Zacuto based in Chicago, Illinois.
Steve and I get into the weeds about filmmaking and storytelling.
Steve and his founding partner, Cinematographer Jens Bogehegn have worked together for many years in the industry. The duo created Zacuto and design products together.
Smart Z-Finder is a smartphone film industry game changer. We share how and why.
We discuss filmmaking history and the future through the perspective of a multi award-winning industry professional producer, and film director who designs filmmaking products that have become standard in the industry.

In episode 161 I have the honor to chat one-on-one with my friend Ant Pruitt, a host of the TWIT.TV Network's TWIG (This Week In Google) show. We chat about the art and storytelling in photography and I ask him to share his perspective on a few things as a well-informed professional in the tech industry and as a photographer.
“If you can go back and look at those old images and feel something, you’re doing right. You’re doing okay.” Ant Pruitt
Ant has been on our judges panel for several years and has agreed to do it again for our 2024 edition of the film festival.
Also in this podcast, the Blackmagic Design company and why they give creators and filmmakers free professional feature-loaded video and film editing software and a new iPhone camera app.

Episode 160 is our bi-weekly panel discussion. This episode was recorded September 27, 2023.
The iPhone 15 Pro has features that can help you meet the criteria to qualify getting your feature film into Netflix, and maybe win an Oscars. The new Blackmagic Camera free app is packed with features but I lament it’s not available for Android smartphone filmmakers. We talk about Joey’s awesome sound design with his iPhone web series shot with an iPhone. Plus more! Panelists in this episode: Ryan McDonald and Joey Min.

Episode 159 of the SBP Podcast is jam-packed with tips. I had the privilege to speak to our friend in Moscow, Arthur Mikheev. Arthur won the First Prize Award with his short film, War is Not A Game in San Diego’s International Mobile Film Festival’s 2021 edition.
Arthur teaches smartphone filmmaking with his school, Pocket Film. Just last week, he shot a video that shows the beautiful potential of what you can do with the new Blackmagic Camera App released less than two weeks ago.
We discuss:
AI
Camera apps
Storytelling
Festival categories
Smartphone film and video
Arthur is also a musician, and we share a clip of one of his songs, Blank in the opening. Link to his music in the show notes.
