Executive Producer: Daril Fannin
On this episode of Roll The Credits, Christina sits down with producer, writer, and entrepreneur, Daril Fannin. Daril shares the unlikely path that led him to filmmaking — from growing up in a strict religious community where movies were off-limits, to discovering The Matrix at 17, spending nine years as a combat medic, and eventually moving to Los Angeles to pursue screenwriting. They talk about selling a television series to Netflix with the support of Matt Damon, what an executive producer actually does in film versus television, and the advice Matt gave Daril that helped shape his career. Daril also breaks down the business of independent film, including how he evaluates projects as investments, what filmmakers should understand about budgets, distribution, minimum guarantees, theatrical and streaming windows, and why getting a movie made is only part of the equation. They also dive into his experience investing in and executive producing Undertone, its eventual deal with A24, the thinking behind Kino Studios and ScreenKey, and why Daril believes the next decade could be an especially exciting one for independent filmmakers. Darils credits include: UNDERTONE (2025) #AMFAD (2024) MVP (2022) GREEN BERET'S GUIDE TO SURVIVING THE APOCALYPSE (2022) ADOPTED (2021) …and many more.

Music Composer: Stephen Rennicks
On this episode of Roll The Credits, Christina sits down with composer Stephen Rennicks, whose work includes Normal People, Room, The Quiet Girl, Frank, and Conversations with Friends. Stephen shares how he became an “accidental film composer,” why he still thinks of himself as a filmmaker first, and the philosophy that has shaped his work: if you’re listening to the music instead of watching the scene, something may have gone wrong. They talk about his decades-long creative partnership with director Lenny Abrahamson, finding the sound of Normal People, composing around silence and intimacy, and why great scoring is often less about writing a beautiful piece of music than solving the emotional problem of a scene. Stephen also opens up about creativity, collaboration, taking feedback, resisting the urge to impress, and why some of his best ideas arrive when he’s supposed to be doing something else. A conversation about music, filmmaking, vulnerability, and learning when to stay out of the way. Stephen's credits include: WHITETAIL (2025) FRAN THE MAN (2025) ALICE & JACK (2023-2024) CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS (2022) THE QUIET GIRL (2022) NORMAL PEOPLE (2020) THE LITTLE STRANGER (2018) REBELLION (2016) ROOM (2015) FRANK (2014) …and many more.

SFX Supervisor: Gareth Wingrove
In this episode of Roll the Credits, Christina sits down with Special Effects Supervisor Gareth Wingrove to explore the craft behind some of cinema’s most memorable practical effects. Gareth shares how growing up on film sets led him into special effects and takes us inside a department responsible for everything from explosions, car chases, rain, snow, and fire to the subtle atmospheric effects audiences rarely notice. He breaks down the engineering behind some of his biggest sequences, including the collapsing rooftop pool in The Amateur, rigging Troy to burn for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the spinning prison sequence in Guardians of the Galaxy, explosive action in Avengers: Infinity War and F9, and the practical work behind films like Mission: Impossible, Inception, and The Phantom of the Opera. The conversation also explores what it takes to safely execute large-scale practical effects, why directors like Christopher Nolan continue to prioritize in-camera filmmaking, and why Gareth believes the best special effects are often the ones audiences never realize are there. Gareth’s credits include: THE ODYSSEY (2026) THE AMATEUR (2025) BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY (2025) AVENGERS: ENDGAME (2019) AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (2018) F9: THE FAST SAGA (2021) GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2014) INCEPTION (2010) THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (2004) MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (1996) …and many more.

Foley Artist: Shelley Roden
In this episode of Roll the Credits, Christina sits down with Foley Artist Shelley Roden of Skywalker Sound to explore one of filmmaking’s most invisible and emotionally powerful art forms. Shelley shares how childhood favorites like The Dark Crystal, The NeverEnding Story, The Muppets, and Tom and Jerry first awakened her imagination, and how an unexpected sound assignment at Ithaca College ultimately changed the direction of her career. She takes us inside the Foley stage, where artists perform and invent thousands of sounds every day — from footsteps and fabric movements to spaceship slides, weapon grabs, and the tactile details that make an imagined world feel real. Shelley also breaks down how she developed distinct footsteps for the emotions in Inside Out 2, recreated the reverse bear trap sounds for Saw, and approaches everything from Marvel weapons to animated plastic toys as a physical and emotional performance. The conversation also explores the collaboration between Foley artists, mixers, editors, sound supervisors, designers, composers, and filmmakers and why the most effective Foley is often the sound audiences never consciously notice. Shelley reflects on her 30-year career, the creative community at Skywalker Sound, the importance of staying present, and the advice that continues to guide her: no one else will ever create exactly the way you do, so bring your full self to the work. Shelley's credits include:  TOY STORY 5 (2026) HOPPERS (2026) AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH (2025) F1: THE MOVIE (2025) ANDOR (2022-2025) DESPICABLE ME 4 (2024) INSIDE OUT 2 ( 2024) GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 (2023) THE MANDALORIAN (2023) ENCANTO (2021) TENET (2020) BLACK PANTHER (2018) And so many more...

Makeup & Hair Designer: Rebecca Buratto
In this episode, Christina sits down with makeup and hair designer Rebecca Buratto. Rebecca grew up in Adelaide, Australia planning to become a sound engineer. Then she watched Lord of the Rings (specifically the Orcs) and decided she wanted to make people look ugly for a living instead. She studied media makeup, landed her first TV job on a bizarre Australian comedy about Hitler's dinosaur army, and eventually met two young filmmakers named Danny and Michael Philippou. She spent the early part of her career making low-budget YouTube videos with them in their dad's backyard. Then came Talk to Me. Then Bring Her Back. Then Leviticus. Across the conversation, she shares what it takes to design horror looks that live or die on the details, the two-day-shoot naked slimy hellscape sequence from Talk to Me that made it into the final cut for 0.2 seconds, why Jonah Wren Phillips has been part of her career since he was nine years old, and the one piece of advice she gives every aspiring makeup artist. Rebecca's credits include: TREASURE & DIRT (2026) MORTAL KOMBAT II (206) SEND HELP (2026) BRING HER BACK (2025) THE FOX (2025) TOGETHER (2025) TALK TO ME (2022) CARNIFEX (2022) THE STRANGER (2022) And many more… Follow Rebecca and her work below: IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4091557/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_rebecca%20burat Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/becburatto_makeupartist/?hl=en

Writer, Director, Minion: Pierre Coffin
In this episode, Christina sits down with Pierre Coffin — the filmmaker who has directed or co-directed every film in the Despicable Me and Minions franchises, and voices every single Minion. Pierre grew up moving across Asia — the son of a French diplomat and the celebrated Indonesian novelist Nh. Dini. His childhood spanned Cambodia, Japan, and eventually a suburb of Paris. His father forbade television, so Pierre spent his time drawing, reading, and listening to music. He studied animation at Gobelins in Paris, then joined Illumination Entertainment where he and Chris Renaud built a story about a supervillain and his little yellow henchmen. Fifteen years later, that story has become one of the most commercially successful animated franchises in history — grossing over $5 billion worldwide. Across the conversation, he shares how he built Minionese out of the languages he grew up around, what it's actually like to voice thousands of characters while directing them at the same time, why every Despicable Me film was supposed to be his last, and what changed on Minions and Monsters that pulled him back in. Pierre's credits include:  MINIONS AND MONSTERS (2026) DESPICABLE ME 4 (2024) MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU (2022) DESPICABLE ME 3 (2017) MINIONS (2015) DESPICABLE ME 2 (2013) DESPICABLE ME (2010) And many more...

Still Photographer: Lou Bopp
In this episode, Christina sits down with still photographer Lou Bopp. Lou never went to photography school. He grew up in St. Louis obsessed with the Magnum photographers (Elliott Erwitt, Sebastião Salgado, James Nachtwey) but didn't think he could do it professionally. That changed when he happened to be visiting a friend in Germany the week the Berlin Wall came down. He stepped through a hole in the wall, put one foot in East Berlin and the other in West Berlin, and shot straight down the middle. He sold the photo to the AP for $100. It funded another week of travel through Europe and started his career. Three decades later, Lou was the still photographer at the center of the Academy Award-winning documentary All the Empty Rooms — a film that traveled the country photographing the bedrooms of children lost to school shootings, in homes their parents hadn't touched since. Across the conversation, he shares the year of unanswered phone calls that landed him a Sports Illustrated internship, what it takes to be "slippery" as a still photographer on a film set, why he's been photographing his daughter every day for 17 years, and how one detail in a child's bedroom in Parkland reminded him of the Berlin Wall photo that started it all. Lou's credits include:  ALL THE EMPTY ROOMS (2025) A DIFFERENT BREED (2025) HAPPENING (2017) MOONSHINE AND MOJO HANDS (2014-2015) WE JUKE UP IN HERE (2012) And many more...

Lead Sculptor: Alexander Sherrod
In this episode, Christina sits down with lead sculptor Alexander Sherrod. Alex grew up in New Orleans obsessed with Ghostbusters. As a kid, he'd stuff Play-Doh figures with fireworks and film them blowing up. After Hurricane Katrina, he moved home and got a job at Mardi Gras World, where he was sculpting floats within months. A decade later, a cold call landed him his first film gig — Barry Jenkins' The Underground Railroad. Across the conversation, he shares his process, why the melted Hawkins Lab rooftop on Stranger Things was his personal favorite build, what it took to sculpt a full crashed Corsair fighter plane for Devotion, and the 75,000 pounds of styrofoam his team recycled on a single season of Stranger Things. Alexander's credits include:  STRANGER THINGS (2025) ORIGIN (2023) GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2023) DEVOTION (2022) THE MENU (2022) SECRET HEADQUARTERS (2022) THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD (2021) EMPORER (2020) And many more...

Goyer — across horror, sci-fi, action, and drama.

Costume Designer: Blair James
In this episode, Christina sits down with costume designer Blair James. Blair never planned to be a costume designer. She was an acting student dressing a college musical because the production couldn't afford one. The costumes won her a national award. A few years of LA celebrity styling later, she got the call to costume design Obsession — her first feature. She walks us through it all: blind-pitching the entire wardrobe to director Curry Barker the first time they met, why Bear's first look had to feel "really ugly to look at, and really nice to look at," running over a character's clothes in her gravel driveway to age them, and what it feels like to be the entire wardrobe department on a $750K horror film. Blair's credits include: INVERTIGO (2027) OBSESSION (2026) FALL 2: DEADPOINT (2026) SHATTERED (2025) THE PLEDGE (2024) BROKEN BRANCHES (2025) COZUMO ROOT (2025) THE CALLING (2023) And many more… Follow Blair and her work below: IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10692673/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blair_james/ Website: https://www.blair-james.com

Chu — including The Martian, Crazy Rich Asians, and Rescue Dawn. He walks us through it all: three months of chaos in Thailand with Werner Herzog on Rescue Dawn, what it's like to light fire-only sets for Robert Eggers, Ridley Scott's "tinsel on a fan" trick on The Martian, and why he believes filmmaking (like cooking) should be done by intuition.

Concept Artist: Brandon Oldenburg
In this episode, Christina sits down with Oscar-winning filmmaker and concept artist Brandon Oldenburg.

Decades later, he co-founded Reel FX in 1995, Moonbot Studios in 2009, and Flight School in 2017 — picking up an Academy Award along the way for The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, an Emmy for the Chipotle short The Scarecrow, and credits across some of the most beloved animated films of the past two decades. He walks us through it all: the cosmic sign that pushed him out of Hollywood, what conceptual design really is, why two-dimensional animation is having a moment again, and the David Needham advice that defined every major pivot of his career — if you're ever going to bet on anything, bet on yourself.

She breaks down what it takes to bring a non-existent creature to life, why the team built seven or eight Rockies, and how she uses color theory to make a stone-like alien feel cute and alive instead of aggressive.

Script Supervisor: Steve Gehrke
In this episode, Christina sits down with legendary script supervisor Steve Gehrke to unpack the invisible craft that holds films together. With over 40 years in the industry and credits spanning from Memento to The Dark Knight, Tenet, and Euphoria, Steve shares what it really means to be a script supervisor — and why he considers himself a filmmaker first. He breaks down how he approaches a script, what it takes to protect story and continuity on set, and how his role acts as the “safety net” for directors, actors, and every department involved. From navigating the complexity of Tenet to collaborating with directors like Christopher Nolan and Ryan Coogler, Steve offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how great films are actually made. The conversation also explores: – Why script supervision is something you “fall into” – The balance between speaking up and knowing when not to – What makes certain directors elevate everyone around them – His old-school commitment to pencil and paper in a digital world – And why, even after decades in the industry, every day on set still feels like a scavenger hunt Steve’s credits include: SINNERS (2025) OPPENHEIMER (2023) BARBIE (2023) TENET (2020) MINDHUNTER (2019) YELLOWSTONE (2018) DUNKIRK (2017) WHY HIM?
