The Art of the Weekend: Drama, Animation, and Comedy - New Podcasts

Posted 6th August 2025

We've been diving deep into the world of filmmaking with a fantastic series of podcasts, and we're excited to share some of the highlights! 

In our chat with Molly Doyle, we explored the nuances of creating compelling drama within the tight constraints of the 48Hours challenge. Molly’s discussion is a must-listen for any team looking to move audiences with their film.

Legend animator Sam Harris of Squint Eastwood, the national winner of the 2020 lockdown edition, gave us a masterclass on the unique world of animation in 48Hours. He offered a wealth of advice for aspiring animators. His podcast is an inspiration and a practical guide for anyone considering taking on the animation genre.

We sat down with the veteran team, Couch Kumara, a team that has been a part of the competition for over a decade. Their journey from high school sketch comedy to three-time regional winners is a testament to their passion and a great source of inspiration for all filmmakers.
