Mike Rhyner sits down with Dallas filmmaker Josh David Jordan, the mind behind This World Won’t Break and the upcoming El Tonto Porcristo.\nJosh talks about growing up as the son of an evangelical preacher and how those fire-and-brimstone Sundays shaped the stories he tells today. From scribbling notes in moleskins to chasing the perfect song for a scene, his process is messy, passionate, and a little bit like “building the airplane on the way down.”\nAlong the way, we get Dallas love letters, border-crossing mishaps, and what happens when your indie film somehow collides with Troy Aikman’s commercial world. It’s raw, funny, and exactly why you tune in to Your Dark Companion.\nChapters\n00:00 – Mike Rhyner and Josh David Jordan: film, life, and why Dallas always sneaks into the frame04:17 – Orthodoxy, cinema, and telling stories no one else is telling12:54 – Childhood memories: motels, Elvis, and little sparks of inspiration15:14 – This World Won’t Break: a filmmaker’s love letter to Dallas23:30 – Touring pains: crossing borders with too much gear25:20 – Film premieres, surprise connections, and the music that stays with you28:09 – What’s next: El Tonto Porcristo and making films against the odds34:44 – A pit stop at CBD House of Healing (because indie film hurts)35:57 – Storyboards, scripts, and the obsession behind directing39:28 – Why festivals are equal parts heartbreak and high-five44:50 – The toll of filmmaking — and why they still do it anyway46:29 – Wrestling with endings, edits, and when to finally “let it go”53:14 – Family, legacy, and the indie hustle55:51 – The weird joy of shooting commercials with Troy Aikman\nFollow Your Dark Companion on Patreon for every episode: patreon.com/YourDarkCompanion\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/yourdarkcompanion/X: https://x.com/YDC_DfwTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yourdarkcompanionFB:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MY5pcsVq0QCXSElEJXNsUEiC8gyrgEoWfpnhiVr9GdU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZTA1/ZjBmZGFkOTk5ZDdi/YWRmMDQ3NGZjY2Ex/ZjgxYS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
