How do films make you feel? The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton.

After completing Disney animation Pete's Dragon, director David Lowery took a real left turn, heading to Texas with friends Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck and making weird, avant garde, self-funded indie film A Ghost Story in secret. Chris talks to him about this bold move, Casey acting under a bed sheet for most of the movie, finding motivation in the face of the futility of existence, and how great pie is.
