52 Jokers Wild

Only Fools go in where Angel's fear to tread. Not sure if we are the fools or the angels in this case. Don't rush in is what we are saying, but also you have to go before you or ready as the perfect time will never happen along. We are a long way from our first show a few years back, 145 episodes or chats there abouts. However, it is not the time or the distance we are talking about, it is the red...

In the Middle of difficulty lies opportunity so says Albert Einstein. If everything was easy, everybody would be doing it, whatever it happens to be. In our case, it is planning for our feature film, we are in pre-production, we are also in script continuous development, we are building the frameworks and processes to onboard our future customers whoever they turn out to be, into a safe and nurtur...

We are in the room again, discussing where it is we are, so nothing new there then. We have arrived at the end of a one part only to arrive at the beginning of another and such is life. We realise that we are where we are meant to be, we are here and now. I am usually somewhere in an unmanifested and somewhat intangible future possibility as are a lot of people it turns out. I know so many burning...

In The Room S4E09: All Things Are Difficult Until They Are Easy.

In The Room S4 E08: Small Things You think you have got problems until you hear about someone else's. Thats not a Knife this is a Knife if you get my meaning. Everything is relative but time is not, it is finite for you and me, Doctor Who aside. Our Lifestream and its component minutes, 1440 a day a third of which we are unaware of or not conscious for, so we need to be very aware of the remaining...

Today's episode is all about getting the right perception and looking at things from a different perspective. No Point catastrophizing or feeding the imposter syndrome, Now is all that matters, get your mojo in gear and get things done no matter how small or irrelevant the tas...

In the Room with Gavin and George, we're exploring our exploits with film festivals and what we are doing with artwork, storyboarding and storytelling, and the difficulties people have been having in the industry, which we've also experienced over the last few years in one form or fashion. What was coming in front of me (Garvin) of all my streams was anime, manga, you know the language, it was col...

In The Room Series 4 Eps 05. Angels, Demons, NDE, then 1s and 0s. Garvin and George started talking about angels and demons and Garvin asked George if he believed in them. As a deacon, he does, but things have to be tested out to see what is true or false. A Boolean statement looked as though it was going to emerge, however, things go off in other directions about what drives us and our purpose.

In The Room Series 4 Eps 04 Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Where's your ticket? Sometimes everyone feels lost. Garvin is worried about running out of runway, while George is looking down the line to see how far the track goes. It's really about the destination and where it terminates. Or is it just a station on the way? The key is not to go off the rails and end up lost in the wilderness. What...

Garvin and George explore recent disappointments and how they each have deflected the potential low moods through positive activities. For Garvin, a five-year-long project is gaining new life. For George, his artistic leanings are finding new avenues that link to Garvin's project. It's all in the story and how you interpret the way ideas are spun into your head, filtered and processed to meet thei...

Garvin Burke and George Kingsnorth chat about firing up their passions. Garvin has purchased 52 7ft by 4ft canvases on an artistic spree. The conversation goes on to how we need to find our passions and make them become a reality. Stop being in your head and let your heart lead you on a journey of discovery.

Back in the room after a two-years break. The journey continues as Garvin and George make it real and talk about the short film and a feature, and what the learnt.

Each day brings us into a strange new world, one where what WE used to do is gradually being taken over by robots. Well, maybe not, maybe Artificial Intelligence, A.I. In the form of cars, lorries, potato pickers, lawyers, doctors, artists, dentists, mechanics, and filmmakers. What? We are all being taken over. So what's left? If all the creative stuff is being taken away from us. And, and, and, a...

It doesn't matter whether you are building a Universe, Multiverse or just a simple little, short film project, you have to work out all the details, plan for all possibilities and remember the extra little ingredient of magic is the unknown that will always throw in a little extra bit of spice. That's the fun bit, the not knowing what will happen, the unexpected, the flaw in the tapestry but you s...

What is a reset? Usually, it is when you press a button and the numbers go back to zero. Often we think if only we can press the button and start again. But is that really what we want. A year ago, Garvin and I were excited about where the journey was taking us. At this point, with massive disruptions going on in the world, beyond our control where you might wonder where we are going, we were surp...

Be Passionate is the theme in this episode because being in the film industry can be quite a juggling act trying to catch great paying jobs and then trying to produce a project that will show the world who you really are. The trouble is you need both, the first to pay the bills and the second to meet your own creative aspirations. If one dominates the other either you make tonnes of money but don'...

You know, Garvin pretends he doesn't like to go deep. He sees himself as being quite simple and shallow, just paddling away letting nothing go higher than his ankles. BUT in this episode, he goes deep, and I mean deep, reaching down into the depths of his soul, where no one (including himself) has gone before. So deep, that even black holes are scared to go beyond the event horizon. Yes, we get to...

As we travel back from our future guesses to be in the room with 52 Jokers Wild, we have jumped back into a few of our early shows to see what we were talking about. Initially, it was about fear, and then we seemed to find that as a recurring topic in later shows. Then we looked at what was needed in the industry and how there seemed to be a paradox. Everyone wants producers, directors and writer,...

In the room, this session is Phil McKenzie, COO of Goldfinch who talks about Finance, Production & Ventures in Entertainment & Exploring Web3. Yes, we got talking about Block Chains, NFTs or Non-fungible Tokens, you know digital cats that can be traced to their original owner. No, no, their not real cats that have been tagged (though thinking about it perhaps that might be a use for them). No, the...

Nathan Mac is "In The Room" with 52 Jokers Wild this week. Lots of clowning around, juggling a range of topics, discussing white elephants, and the all-important reason there are 52 Jokers Wild. Quite a circus event. Nathan shares his thoughts on working with and nurturing other artists. He has found his own music producer and after producing a short film, Nathan is ready to launch it with a music...

Over the week Garvin and George have interviewed some very talented people. In this episode, we take another opportunity to mashup some of our previous interviews to see where there were links between conversations. We revisit chats with Stephen Ford, Ronika Merl, Myia Elliot, Aidan O'Sullivan, and Sinead Cassidy Holt who share their aspirations for writing, acting and directing. We find common th...

Sinéad Cassidy Holt, joins us "In The Room" with 52 Jokers Wild, and straight away we got onto the 'goodies', fairy cakes and the likes. The stuff that makes every film crew happy because their tummy is filled. With a happy crew, you get a great show. Everyone has a positive attitude. And we all know that if there is any of that negativity around, accept when testing for you-know-what, that little...

Grainne Humphreys, Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival is "In The Room" with 52 Jokers Wild. Most of us focus most of our attention on getting our films made and are usually exhausted by the time we get our babies birthed, BUT, like the real thing, that's when it all started to happen. The sleepness, diapers to change, feeding them so they grow and everything else associated with paren...

The dragons are coming out. They're all over the place, whether sculptures, iguanas or fantasies. This is Garvin's hot topic, as he sees himself as a real dragon, with his sharp tongue, and fiery speech and often George doesn't get a word in edgeways. But not this show. In this show, Garvin takes the reins as the show host and interviews George. Was this a good idea? Well, George was all of a flus...
