But we're going to talk about that that project a little bit. I dream too much of the project you guys did together. So, um, you know, I'm excited to talk to both of you about your latest project. How you guys doing? Thank you so much for being on the show, guys. I like to welcome to the show Richard Linklater and Katie cubanos. I need to stop here and let you dive in.Įnjoy my conversation with Richard Linklater and Katie Cokinos. So much was covered in this EPIC two hours conversation. has been on the moon since the 1950s, a woman who produces a glass slide purportedly of Madonna’s pap smear, and an old anarchist who sympathetically shares his philosophy of life with a robber. Highlights include a UFO buff who adamantly insists that the U.S. These characters, who in some manner just don’t fit into the establishment norms, move seamlessly from one scene to the next, randomly coming and going into one another’s lives. Here’s a bit about the film: Presents a day in the life in Austin, Texas among its social outcasts and misfits, predominantly the twenty-something set, using a series of linear vignettes. Her latest film is the coming of age story I Dream Too Much, co-produced by Richard. She was the Managing Director of the Austin Film Society, 1990-95. Katie produced Eagle Pennell’s film, Heart Full of Soul (1990) was a publicist for Richard Linklater’s Slacker, (1990). She has made over ten short films and in 2000 wrote, directed, and acted in the feature film, Portrait of a Girl as a Young Cat which premiered at SXSW. Now the other remarkable filmmaker in this conversation is Katie Cokinos. It’s impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about our own journey. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between becoming transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s Yellow to Arcade Fire’s Deep Blue. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. His Oscar® nominated film Boyhood is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. He often tells a long and transformative coming-of-age story over years, if not decades, something that is unique to him. His philosophy can be felt throughout his work. Many of the actors who work with Richard call him the “Zen Director” on set. From The Before Trilogy to Boyhood, his films tackle topics in an honest, raw, and deeper way that is not normally seen in filmmaking. I found an immense philosophical undercurrent to most of his life’s work. Throughout his career, Richard has chosen to tell stories about the human condition, while many times making us laugh and cry at the same time. Based on Linklater’s years at Huntsville High School and the people he encountered there, the film shadows the adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May 1976. One of the talents to emerge from this era is the Texas native, Matthew McConaughey in Linklater’s third movie and VHS smash hit, Dazed and Confused. The producer, director has juggled the TV, film, short-film, and documentary genres seamlessly over his career – typically focusing in fine detail on generational rites and mores with rare compassion and understanding while definitively capturing the 20-something culture of his era through a series of nuanced, illuminating ensemble pieces which introduced any number of talented young actors into the Hollywood ecosystem. If this is your introduction to Linklater and his work, here are a few highlights you must know Linklater helped launch the 90s indie film renaissance with his film Slacker. As a bonus, we will not only dive into the extraordinary career of Richard Linklater but also that of collaborator and longtime friend writer/director Katie Cokinos, the filmmaker behind the film I Dream Too Much. Richard was one of the filmmakers who helped to launch the independent film movement that we know today with his classic 1991 indie film Slacker. We are joined by indie film icon and Oscar® nominated writer/director Richard Linklater. Incredibly one of those dream guests has made his way on the show today. Well, I put out an episode back in 2019 putting my dream list of guests out into the universe, and in the past four months, I’ve been humbled to have some amazing filmmakers and screenwriters on the show.
