This episode of Geek Cred features an interview with filmmaker Shane Felux, director and producer of the science fiction action web seriesTrenches, which takes you to a war-torn planet where two factions battle for control, but when the smoke of battle clears, these enemies must put aside their differences and work together if they are to survive a danger beyond their worst imaginings. Shane previously directed the Star Wars fan films Revelations and award-winning Pitching Lucas, and he talks about the genesis of Trenches, the production process behind the scenes, what took so long to be completed, what it was like working within the studio system, and more.
I will continue to podcast—because you’ll have to pry that microphone from my cold dead hands!—but I recently launched a new creative endeavor, in addition to Geek Cred: a personal blog/website over at http://www.steveriekeberg.com. There you will be able to get a more personal “behind the scenes” look at me and read my thoughts, musings, rants, and reviews on everything that interests me, from podcasting, technology, science fiction, gaming, culture, writing, and more. Check it out, and if you like what you read, please leave a comment over there!
Geek Cred returns and kicks off 2010 with an interview with anime and video game voice actor Kyle Hebert. If you don’t recognize him by name, you might recognize him from his voice that has been featured in productions such as Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Bleach, Street Fighter IV, and more. Kyle talks about how he got into voice acting, what it’s like as a geek to play these characters, what it’s like in a recording session, and more!
Celebrate the holiday season with “A Geek Christmas Story”, a special holiday treat from Geek Cred and Friends in Tech.
“Mattie Stevens, a young boy of the early 80’s, dreams of owning a Commodore 64. He sets out to convince everyone this is the perfect gift. But, along the way runs into opposition from his parents and everyone around him including old Santa Claus”
Until Geek Cred returns soon, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Winter Solstice–whatever you celebrate, may you have a safe, and of course geeky holiday!
My mind is still buzzing after having such a great time at PodCampAZ that it’s hard to concisely articulate my feelings, but to describe it in one word: AMAZING. Everyone was so friendly, I (re)connected with people, and made many great new friends. I made a bit of a roadtrip with my Southern California friends and fellow podcasters Douglas E. Welch and Megan Enloe to Phoenix.
I actually had the privilege of speaking, and a special thank you to those of you who attended my session on Sunday morning “The Art of the Interview”–and for those of you that missed it, I hope to have audio of it up soon. Thanks to our host, the University of Advancing Technology, and all the sponsors that made it possible. Most of all, huge thanks to Evo Terra, Brent Spore, and the rest of the organizers and volunteers, who worked tirelessly, above and beyond, to make PodCampAZ such an amazing event. PodCampAZ is, in my opinion, one of the premiere new media conferences on the planet. Apparently some of the best things in life do come for free!
