>> About The PAPER STREET Podcast
From the team behind Austin-based genre film production company Paper Street Pictures, The PAPER STREET Podcast covers filmmaking and the film industry, with additional focus on the inclusivity and positivity of the genre film community. Hosted by Becky Sayers and Shawn Talley, the program dives deep into all aspects of production. From the workshopping of ideas and scripts, to on-set production, to the post-production process, to financing and distribution, they get into the movie-making weeds, interviewing their fellow filmmaker friends as well as industry professionals and craftspeople.
>> About LATE TO THE PARTY
A presentation of The PAPER STREET Podcast, LATE TO THE PARTY is a recurring program that brings actors, filmmakers, and entertainment industry pros on to cure a major movie blind spot of theirs. The guest chats with hosts Shawn Talley and Cameron Burns before watching the film, then they reconvene after having seen it, and all share their thoughts on the movie and the guest's experience watching it, whether it met expectations, and wherever else the conversation takes them! It's okay if you're late to the party; they'll still be here when you get to it!
>> About the Hosts
Becky Sayers
Raised in the rural Pacific Northwest on '80s action, campy slashers, and first-person shooters, Becky celebrates every Friday the 13th and cherishes her Jason Statham necklace. Armed with a clunky VHS camcorder, she fell in love with filmmaking at the age of thirteen. Countless short films and bottles of fake blood later, Becky's gone on to write about the genre for sites like Dread Central and has written, produced, and directed several shorts and two feature films.
Shawn Talley
A lifelong cinephile, music junkie, comic book geek, sci-fi nerd, and pro wrestling apologist who knows all the words to seminal hip-hop hit "It Takes Two," Shawn is 3/4 of the way to an EGOT... in that he's personally held other actual winners' real Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar statues. Father of two, husband of one, master of none — he speaks in pop culture references and riddles, and aspires to be just rich and/or famous enough to never again need a LinkedIn account.
Cameron Burns
A founding member of Paper Street Pictures and current Head of Development, Cameron is a highly-quotable (and lovable) goofball. Whether it's him being surprisingly better than you at poker, bowling, and basketball; his super-fandom for Canadian post-grunge rockers Our Lady Peace; ability to drop deep-cut literary quotes; or his endless hot takes, like "Third-Eye Blind's debut record is a top 5 '90s album," he never ceases to amaze... friends, family, and strangers alike!
