Filmmakers in Wisconsin - Episode 201 - Kristopher Pollard

Kristopher Pollard eats, sleeps and breathes cinema. As Membership Manager for Milwaukee Film and co-host of the “Cinebuds” podcast, Kristopher is continually working hard to advocate for Milwaukee’s film scene. He explains how Wisconsin is a hidden gem for the film industry and has a vibrant and receptive movie-loving community. He argues that the only difference between Milwaukee and cities with well-known film scenes is that people just aren’t paying attention to Milwaukee yet. This week, he joins Charlie on the Cripescast to discuss the use of AI in filmmaking, he crushes it in a movie trivia game, and shares what Milwaukee Film is doing to preserve the city’s historic theaters. Kristopher also explains the new state bill that aims to form a Wisconsin Film Office and dives into how it would create jobs, boost the economy, and amplify the local scene.

Very interesting and good to know, have to put the film festival on the calendar! I have friends who have gone for years and each time they tell us about it. I think similar to you Charlie to the Peter Pan bits-I loved Hook and it's still one of my favorites, but it grosses me out a bit now in all the weird parts that you talked about. Even the uncle who lost his marbles and nobody helps him. So many bits can be pulled from that movie!! Robin Williams was so gifted.
