TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
What do you get by matching "a former Marine Corps drill instructor and an elementary arts educator"? A fantastic filmmaker in Kyle Henry. Kyle teaches film production at Northwestern University and has made both narrative and docs films to the acclaim of the Independent Spirit Awards and other film festivals. He's back with his newest film, TIME PASSAGES, which is one of the most unique documentaries you'll ever see.
In this episode, we discuss:
- how TIME PASSAGES is graduate level doc filmmaking -- how was he able to pull that off?
- a bunch of awards for his debut feature, ROOM (2005) -- how? he credits it to being an observer of his community and engaging with this world;
- is that challenging for students nowadays, who may be perpetually online? and he flips the script to that question by saying "you can't make films based on the past";
- "you have stories within you", Kyle points out;
- the film TIME PASSAGES and how he came up with the unique tools of telling the story -- it's about the "struggle of putting the pieces together and then the process of letting go" with his family;
- if this film could have been made 20 years ago?
- how long he has been working with this project and what lessons he can take up from the experience-- "shut up and listen more";
- the state of film school from the lens of a film professor;
- what's next for a filmmaker who switches from documentary to narrative and how he makes that happen -- his next film (a narrative) sounds wild.

At the risk of sounding corny (and real in a world of AI slop podcast descriptions), let me add a fourth F: Ford. As in Tom Ford. No, not that one -- the cinematographer Tom Ford, who made my favorite film of the year absolutely shine through his work years ago.
What do I mean by that? As we talk a…
