Fade In To Film: Why Film Production is A Rush

Episode 168 is our bi-weekly panel discussion. This episode was recorded December 6, 2023.
It’s a rush! If you have the privilege to work on an indie film and you don’t feel the rush, something’s not right. Joey Min and Ryan McDonald sit with me and discuss our first filmmaking experience and why we loved the challenge. We were thrilled to do it again and again. We share what to expect and how to get started, if you’ve never made a film before. When we say, “Just do it,” we know it’s easier said than done if it’s your first time.
We share some funny mishaps on set, from vacuum cords and high rise stunts, to ants in pants—laugh along with us. We also discuss not so funny at all news, “Filmic Pro, No More?”

Fade In To Film: Where Movie Ideas Come From

Episode 167 is our bi-weekly panel discussion. This episode was recorded November 22, 2023.
Before you pull your phone out of your pocket to film, you should have a story in mind. Our panel discusses where to get ideas for stories from, write a screenplay and make that movie! Why most indie filmmakers write and produce their films instead of selling their screenplays to studios, especially if they use smartphone cameras.
What we discuss:
 How we generate our ideas for films
Differences between short and feature film stories
Why indie filmmakers don’t sell their screenplays
Algorithms for film marketing online
Will AI help producers predict marketability of a story
What inspires filmmakers to keep making films
