“I recently had the good fortune to be interviewed by Paul Booth for the Talking Pictures podcast. It was a spirited, and wonderfully effortless conversation about film making, art, and the power of story telling. Paul asked questions with insight, and much enthusiasm. I was immediately at ease, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our conversation…in fact, I’m pretty sure I probably talked too much!!!”

Paul Booth loves movies, but he may love the folks who create movies even more. I'm always impressed with his unambiguous curiosity about, and enthusiasm for, the work and world of filmmaking. It's refreshing to find a film journalist who's, first and foremost, a genuine fan of our medium."

As a filmmaker it is always nice when the host is enthusiastic about your work and is there to help you elevate your project via his or her platform. Paul does a wonderful job accomplishing this! I am honored to have participated on Talking Pictures, and would be happy to be invited back at anytime in the future. I think this show will only grow and expand as time goes on."

"Taking Pictures is one of the best blog experiences on the net. My clients e.g. Rachel Morrison, ASC (MUDBOUND, BLACK PANTHER and Greig Fraser, ACS ASC, (LION, DUNE, THE MANDELORIAN) always enjoy talking with the show's host, Paul Booth, as he takes a deep dive into their work -- often taking them in unexpected directions that reveal the true inner creativity of their talent.
