This week on the Cinematic Immunity Podcast, Kimberley Browning gives us
great insight into the world of independent film making. As a film festival
director herself for Hollywood Shorts, she has screened, programmed and
been an active participant in the complex world of independent film where
crtically acclaimed and financially viable films go to live or die.  We dig
deep into how new forms of technology are good for people that dont have
other outlets of expressing themselves and how race plays into the politics
of the entertainment business.

EPISODE 39: Mark Weingartner, VFX Director of Photography
On this week's show, we air the first half of our interview with Mark H. Weingartner, Visual Effects Director of Photography, who came down to the studio and took the time to explain some of the most complex visual effects sequences and talk about his experiences that led him to be one of the leading Directors of Photography for Visual Effects in Hollywood.
We talk about how to make "grist for the digital mill" and the distinction between visual effects and practical effects and we discovered that sometimes, talking about guilty movie pleasures can be more fun than talking about the big shows as we loop back around three times to Under Siege!
