S01. EP.08. Molehill Media - Turning interviews into real stories

This week on Beyond the Awards, we’re joined by Alex from Molehill Media, known for his interview-led documentary wedding films and winner of Best Use of Sound Design at the Beyond the Awards Festival.Alex shares how a deeply personal experience at his own wedding inspired his now-signature documentary style, built around interviews, real conversations, and immersive sound. From interviewing parents and grandparents to uncovering unexpected stories from guests, Alex explains why real voices can become the most valuable part of a wedding film years later.The conversation also dives into the practical side of this style: building trust with guests, handling overwhelming amounts of dialogue in the edit, and balancing creativity with the emotional responsibility of documenting people’s lives.Along the way, we chat about finding your own filmmaking identity, learning from international creators, the pressure that comes with awards success, and why being different matters more than following trends.The British Wedding Film Festival: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠britishweddingfilmfestival.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠britishweddingfilmfestival⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GUESTSMolehill Media: molehillmedia.comHOSTSJoce (Lune de Miel Studio): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lunedemielstudio.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeff (Jeff Wood Visuals): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠jeffwoodvisuals.com⁠
