  • Alternative Cinema is alive and well as we explore indie filmmaking with filmmaker Tim Thomson

    Alternative Cinema is alive and well as we explore indie filmmaking with filmmaker Tim Thomson
    Oct 14 2025
    This week John Wesley Downey interviews Tim Thomson, an independent filmmaker, film editor and post production supervisor, and creative artist. Tim is also active in supporting and doing design work in the local theater community, including the Catastrophic Theater. The podcast takes a turn this week toward less mainstream filmmaking and a fun ride it was. Turns out VHS films from the 80s and 90s, especially scifi and horror and new distribution and restoration of some of this DIY filmmaking is underway with companies such as Vinegar Syndrome. Tim and John talked about film's enduring popularity and reach, including mainstream, independent and fringe. Tim talked about his excitement that a film he made on the streets of Houston in 1992 with a rag tag team of film enthusiasts, as well as his writings about PROJECT OMICRON. A wide ranging discussion with a seasoned filmmaker and creator well worth the time of anyone who wants to hear the latest on alternative filmmaking. Tim's day job is with Staging solutions where he is Creative Director.

    THE TEAM
    John Wesley Downey, Frankie Westmoreland and Bret Gipson are the multi-generational contributors to the TRUE FILM PODCAST. From Gen Z to Gen X to the Baby Boomers, we
    give you a wide sampling of critical opinion. What does the trio have in common? They are
    all passionate movie nerds who share the same love of movies, from the silent era
    classics to the latest movies playing at the box office.

    DINOSAURS,CRIMINALS AND SOLDIERS
    This week John reviews the latest movie in the 32 year old Jurassic Dionosaur series, Jurassic
    World Rebith, Bret checks out the Marvel Studio's The Thunderbolts and Frankie climbs into a
    time machine to check out the 1967 war film classici The Dirty Dozen. Surprisingly it turns out
    Thunderbolts and Diirty Dozen share similar story elements. The idea of taking criminals and
    giving them a chance to reddem themsleves through performing a heroic mission is at the core
    of both films. And that provides lots of fule for fun discussion.
