The Hollywood Hang

Welcome to The Hollywood Hang! A podcast about the highs, lows, and hell nos of this crazy industry. Hosted by Nicolas Curcio & Kristen Tepper. Social & Promotion by Rodrigo Caraveo.
This week, we're hanging with actor, writer, and all-around good hang Michael Vlamis. You might know Michael from The CW's Roswell, New Mexico, and you can catch him now in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, playing in theaters. In this hang, we get into everything from bombing a joke in front of Christopher Nolan to how Jamie Foxx gave him the confidence boost he didn't know he needed, and why one of the biggest highs of his career had nothing to do with booking a role.
Trust us, you don't want to miss this hang.

This week we are joined by screenwriter Zachary Donohue, whose film Passenger is in theaters now! We get into how Zachary went from a lifelong horror fan to crafting one of the most exciting road horror films we have seen in years.

We also talk about the horror renaissance happening right now and why the genre is the lifeline keeping movie theaters alive.
If you are a writer trying to break in, this one is for you. Zachary breaks down how to build a hook, pitch your idea, and turn a setback into your biggest opportunity yet. You won't want to miss this hang. And seriously, go see Passenger in theaters now.

This week, we are joined by producer and director Haley Nicole Johnson, whose film Obsession is now in theaters! We get into how Haley went from competitive dancer to one of indie film’s most exciting emerging producers. But don’t worry, Haley didn’t need a One Wish Willow to make her Hollywood dreams come true. She’s just that good.
We also talk about her next project, 4x4: The Event, which is set to be distributed by Neon, what it actually takes to crew a debut feature the right way, and why waiting for $3 to $5 million might be killing your career before it even starts.
If you want to know what building a career in independent film actually looks like right now, you won’t want to miss this hang! And you definitely don’t want to miss Obsession!
