    Timecode⏱️🤠Cowboys | Ep. 8 | Pt. 1 | Lights, Camera… Crescenzo! 🎥✨


    We finally wrangled our biggest guest yet — the one, the only, Crescenzo Notarile — Emmy-nominated cinematographer, lifelong student of light 🧠💡 and all-around Renaissance man 🏆📸. We had sooooo much fun with Crescenzo that we had to split this one into TWO PARTS !


    Here’s what we cover in this rich and rollicking Pt. 1:

    📺 The Twilight Zone episode that changed Crescenzo’s life forever


    📸 Crescenzo’s love for photography — and private collection of Avedon prints!


    🎞️ The Swedish Masters of Mood: Sven Nykvist & Ingmar Bergman


    🔍 The difference between long lenses vs. wide lenses


    🧪 The lab montages that made CSI famous


    📚 The Kubrick quotes we take as gospel


    ♟️ And why every great filmmaker should master the game of chess


    From high art to handheld chaos, this one’s got gravitas, grit, and a whole lot of heart. ❤️

    We’re back in the saddle after a wild ride to the Cannes Film Festival 🥂🎥 — where Danny’s work on Slauson Recwas a last-minute addition to the prestigious Cannes Classics lineup! 😱✨


    In this very special episode:


    🐎 Dan survives the red carpet and a brutal sinus infection


    🧢 Buys waaaaay too many souvenir hats


    🎟️ Breaks down the circus-like chaos of Cannes


    📽️ Reflects on editing a vérité doc for 2 years straight


    ✍️ Retreats into the French countryside for a creative Eat Pray Love style journey


    🍷 Visits Ridley Scott’s personal vineyard (and, yes, the Alien space suits are there)


    From the Palais to the Provence, this one’s a jetlagged, wine-drenched, film-soaked recap of a life-changing creative high. ✈️💻📓

    Timecode⏱️🤠Cowboys | Ep. 6 | The Smight Stuff: Claire, Con Artists & Paper Moon

    This week, the Smight family expands—and upgrades.
    Claire Smight—art director, film connoisseur, and certified agent of cool—makes her long-awaited Timecode Cowboys debut 🎤🎉


    With Peter Bogdanovich’s Paper Moon (1973) as our compass, we hit the open road to explore a world of scams, grifts, and Americana. Along the way we discuss the following:


    👧 Tatum O’Neal’s Oscar-winning chaos as Addie Loggins


    📖 The fine art of a Bible hustle


    🎥 Bogdanovich’s obsession with vintage style and modern sharpness


    🍼 And the truth about growing up in a house full of filmmakers, jokers, and cinephiles


    It’s part family roast, part roadside elegy, and all love.
    The Smights get reflective, ridiculous—and maybe a little rowdy. And yes: Claire absolutely steals the show (just like Tatum).
