This episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast I’m chatting with Barry Robison, production designer on the much anticipated tv adaption of 'Snowpiercer'. Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, Snowpiercer centres on the remnants of humanity, who inhabit a gigantic, perpetually-moving train that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation.Barry is a highly experienced production designer who has mainly been working in features up until this point, but decided to take on the challenge of a tv series.

In this episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast I’m chatting with the legendary David Bateson, who this year is celebrating 20yrs as the voice of Agent 47, the protagonist of IO Interactive's video game series 'Hitman'.David was born in South African to English parents but has, for many years, been settled in Denmark. He’s worked across film, tv and theatre, but what we know and love him best for, is his voice work as Agent 47 in the long running Hitman video games. He has voiced the character since its inception in the year 2000, and, as far as we can tell, he is one of the longest serving voice actors in gaming history. We got to talk to him about what it's like playing Agent 47 for 20yrs, his favourite games, locations and kills, his thoughts on the movie versions (and how he was nearly involved.) We also chat a little about Lightmatter, a first-person puzzler where shadows kill you, and how he got involved with voicing that game. I also want to say a huge thanks to the people over at the Hi

Although it is short form, they have a stunning array of talent producing and starring in their shows, from a version of 'The Fugitive' starring Kiefer Sutherland and Boyd Holbrook, to a horror series from Steven Spielberg, to a racing competition series with Idris Elba!'Survive' is based on the acclaimed novel by Alex Morel, and follows the character Jane (Sophie Turner - 'Game Of Thrones'), who was involved in a deadly plane crash in the middle of nowhere.

Sam is a BAFTA-nominated and NBC News award-winning composer for film, television and video games, who is best known for his work on the original Mass Effect trilogy, and the Baldur's Gate games. However, he also has a background in computer programming, and this led to him, along with Sara, who has a background in design, building the app ReelCrafter.Frustrated with the lack of a decent platform for composers and musicians to present their demo reels, Sam and Sara decided to develop their own. It has become a huge success, being used by some of Hollywood’s biggest composers including five-time Emmy-winning composer Jeff Beal ('House of Cards'), Christopher Lennertz ('Lost in Space', 'Supernatural'), Trevor Morris ('Olympus Has Fallen', 'The Tudors'), and many others.ReelCrafter lets composers create personalised reels with images, video, and biography, removing the use of clunky file sharing links, or
