Every screenplay has at least one element that a filmmaker knows is going to be tricky to carry off. But when the script demands you track down an elusive rare bird and find a location where an actor can safely fell a giant tree with a hand axe, you’re going to have to get extra creative. How director James Hunter, with the help of producer Faith Gouga, managed to pull all this off in their haunting short film NEST—is a fascinating tale all on its own. James is an award-winning Australian writer, director, editor and producer whose 16mm black and white “gothic psychodrama” NEST is one of the outstanding films in the 2023 Short Circuit Pacific Rim Film Festival.  The film is currently making the festival rounds and has screened in such prestigious Academy Award Qualifying festivals as Melbourne, St. Kilda, Atlanta, HollyShorts, FlickerFest, and SITGES film festivals. Follow James:Website: https://www.jameshunterfilm.co IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3741370/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshunterfilm/Watch NEST online through May 2023:https://cinevic.ca/short-circuit-film-festival-2023/Follow NEST:https://www.instagram.com/nest.short/https://www.facebook.com/nestshortSubscribe to catch the latest episodes of Push In on Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/2S5WB7q Podcast Production Team:·      Technical Director: Paul Ruta·      Sound Editor: Michael Korican·      Host, Researcher & Copywriter: Joyce Kline·      Co-Producers: Joyce Kline, Michael Korican, Paul Ruta

Victoria's wunderkind fright master talks nightmares and biggest fear with host Joyce Kline...and why he’s virtually possessed (apologies for the pun) by the horror genre.·Joyce surprises Octavian with something she’s found online.·Octavian breaks down when it's the sound and when it's the visuals that will scare the bejesus out of an audience.·Octavian describes his ‘80s inspired creature short Wormies and (shades of Dr. Frankenstein!) what it was like to create an animatronic monster that didn’t always cooperate on set.For more featured in this episode:Watch Octavian’s short films: https://www.youtube.com/c/OctavianKaulThe infamous “Flash Young Hunter Zolomon Octavian Kaul” cosplay jacket: https://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Zolomon-Octavian-Genuine-Leather/dp/B098JQXTV1?th=1 Follow Octavian: IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7256118/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/octaviankaul/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Octavian_Kaul Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Octavian-Kaul/100066812520238/Subscribe to catch the latest episodes of Push In on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2S5WB7q Podcast Production Team:·      Technical Director: Paul Ruta·      Sound Editor: Michael Korican·      Host, Researcher & copywriter: Joyce Kline·      Co-Producers: Joyce Kline, Michael Korican, Grady Lawlor, Paul Ruta
