Fade In To Film: Your Brand and Filmmaking

Episode 156 is our biweekly panel discussion. This episode was recorded August 30, 2023.
We tackle a few topics with our panelists, but we begin with Levi’s well informed message, as a union member, about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and how they affect indie filmmakers. We discuss what self branding implies and the shift it’s taken for creators, artists and filmmakers during the popularity of social media. This topic led us to discuss self-distribution as an individual and as a community. Could community distribution be the next new thing for indie filmmakers and creators? I share a bit about white label OTT streaming distribution.
We congratulate Levi Austin Morris for winning an award for his mobile feature film, Paralysis. And Ryan McDonald shares his upcoming film festival in Ogden, Utah.
The panelists: Ryan McDonald, Levi Austin Morris, Jason Rivera, Joey Min.

Making a Dance Studio Film with Brionne Olsen

In episode 152 we bring back Brionne Olsen in South Africa. Brionne is a sound engineer, filmmaker and storyteller. He’s been inspired to create smartphone videos and films since 2020.
Brionne made a short film this year with the Elements Of Moment Dance Studio. The film is a beautiful dance performance choreographed by Ashley-Jade Miranda. Brionne asked for a performance that expressed women empowered through movement. 
He used his iPhone 11, an anamorphic lens, a gimbal and two lights. The film used mostly natural light in the studio and ambient sound captured on the phone, which he later mixed  the audio and video in DaVinci Resolve. If you're in South Africa reach out to collaborate on his upcoming film.
