In the first ever Talkhouse Film podcast, we bring together in conversation two pivotal figures from the recent American independent film scene: erstwhile "mumblecore" ringleader Joe Swanberg (Happy Christmas, Drinking Buddies) and Hal Hartley (Amateur, Simple Men), one of the smartest, wittiest directors to emerge in the '90s. Over the course of their conversation, they discuss everything from film vs. digital and the changing landscape of the indie scene to the growing prominence of television and the role that technology plays in their lives, for better or worse. It's the kind of conversation that only two filmmakers could have.
The music featured in the podcast is as follows:
1. Intro / outro underscore: "Plastic Man vs. The Giant Red Phase Of The Sun" - Iced Ink
2. "Arlene Blues" - Ned Rifle (from My America)
3. "Waiting for the Bells" - Joel Alme (from Happy Christmas)
4. "If You Got Somebody Waiting" - Joel Alme (from Happy Christmas)
