Episode 43 - HWtBF Surprise Announcements with VS Restoration Artist and Filmmaker Kurtis Spieler
1 tim 43 min•22 maj 2026
Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time.
In Episode 43 we sit down with Kurtis Spieler. Kurtis is a key member of the restoration team at Vinegar Syndrome, but also is involved in many parts of behind the scenes production and even finds time to be a filmmaker. We talk about the Halfway to Black Friday surprise announcements, including a few that Kurtis played a major role in getting them out and ready to ship.
As always, Kurtis is an amazing interview with tons of insight into the VS operations and a sincere love for his job and the work he's doing to preserve cinema. We even get to tease the Vampfriars and how it was directing Vinegar Syndrome's first fully in-house production.
We will be back later in June in a different way during partner month. We will have a dedicated episode to cover the 500 movies that were released in April, and separately we're looking forward to highlighting some of the partner labels in a more focused way.
Thank you to everyone who listens and please let us know how we can make the show better. Always listening!
