Thomas Lynskey, actor, writer, and director of The Last Signals joins Sean to discuss the story behind the making of his independent film.
The film explores the actions Titanic’s wireless operators, Senior Operator John ‘Jack’ Phillips and Junior Operator Harold Bride, throughout Titanic's voyage.
The story of the making of the film is as amazing as the film itself, as Tom describes how his family and friends worked to bring the film to life!

Discussion Points:
-The incredible collaborative effort it took to build the sets, assemble the cast, and scout the locations over two years!
-The inspiration behind the film, the 'geeks' of 1912, the wireless operators, and why Tom didn't originally plan to star in the film.
-The length Tom and the cast went to, to achieve historical accuracy.
Raised Questions:
-Do limited resources create the need for creative film-making?
-Where did the inspiration for the film come from?
-How did the cast end up filming from 2am-4am in a Titanic museum?
-Will the footage of Tom's Dad as Senator Smith ever be released?
-Was there a culture of defending fellow White Star crewmen who died during the disaster?
-What can you do to make your parent's pool look like the North Atlantic on screen?
