Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 241 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A full on ‘inside the director’s studio’ gem here this week on your Friday bonus episode, as Pip sits down with writer/director MATT PALMER!
“…you just have to make your peace with the fact that things take time…”
First off - have you seen Calibre on Netflix? Yes? Perfect. No? You know what? Also perfect. Either way, you’ll be hearing from the man behind this brutal but absolutely gripping thriller which will either provide you with behind the scenes nuggets of gold from the film, or fire up your hunger for watching it. A real professional chat with the two, with much range - from how the two organised this before the film blew up, his doubts in the film after festivals initially slept on it, seeing the film with completely different eyes to the viewer, the importance of being in a physical location space for an actor, the scourge of the modern superhero film, how Calibre went down well with the US as it’s rougher than the polish they might expect, relationships with the crew and how a film is so much more than the individual, and the hive mind that can spring from this attitude. All round goodness. You’ll enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. I've got a really clear memory when I first got a |
| 0:06.6 | dog of being really focused on how important all the things I have to do for this cute little guy |
| 0:13.6 | are. Like I need to make sure he's getting walks every day, fresh air every day, fresh water every |
| 0:21.1 | day, eating good food. And it becomes such a kind of a focus and a drive because you want to do all |
| 0:28.0 | you can for this little creature that you love. But we don't always put that much time and |
| 0:32.8 | attention into what we need for ourselves. Like what are our basic requirements to get through |
| 0:40.6 | life. And we need to focus on that more and Better Help can help with that. With over a thousand |
| 0:46.2 | therapists in the UK already, they can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide |
| 0:51.5 | variety of expertise in mental health. As far as I know, they've not got any that can help dogs, |
| 0:57.4 | but again, as long as you're dealing with that, then they can help you deal with you as well. |
| 1:03.0 | Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better |
| 1:09.5 | B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash distraction pod. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction |

| 1:25.2 | presents early. And I'm joined by Matt Palmer, who's a writer and director. And it was one of the |
| 1:31.2 | most natural conversations I've had. We just we hit it off. It's so insightful. It's insightful |
| 1:37.6 | for me. Like to hear someone speaking about the independent film industry and making films happen |
| 1:44.0 | and making them work. And we have a chat about the relationship between director and D.O.P. |
| 1:51.0 | and we use Ben a weekly and Laurie Rose as an example of these great people who when they get |
| 1:59.2 | together they make this yeah, this absolute magic. So it's a great episode. I think you're going |
| 2:05.7 | to enjoy it. I need to plug things. I've mentioned numerous times. I'll probably stop plugging it |
| 2:11.9 | after this, but I did a BBC Lifeline Appeal for the British Stammering Association. |
| 2:19.7 | And it means a lot to me. So it'd be cool if you could give that a watch. It's on iApplyer. |
