Smartphones are the Window to Your Stories with Susy Botello
Tuesday Nov 15, 2022
Tuesday Nov 15, 2022
In episode Number 136, I share some tips and reasons on why and how you can start filmmaking today. After listening to this episode, you’re going to want to. I recorded this episode early the same morning I published it, drinking espresso. How to start filmmaking without a story? Really? Yes! I’ll share how you can without breaking my rule: Story first.
I discuss several topics, such as:
The magic of storytelling through film
The screen is the window to your story while you shoot
Two products I recommend, and why
Don’t let the chatter on social media intimidate you
Steven Spielberg shot his iPhone music video hand-held
The competition between smartphone camera brands are good
The magic of storytelling through film

Build Your Filmmaking Family with Joey Ming and Stephanie Pham
Tuesday Nov 01, 2022
Tuesday Nov 01, 2022
In episode 135 we have a very resourceful discussion with Joey Min and Stephanie Pham of Art School Dropouts: A Film Production Company and YouTube Channel based in the east coast. They are a media group that creates narrative-driven weekly exciting, fun and “feel-good” content. We discuss how to build a family to work with on more than one project. *Correction in the title: Joey Min is the correct name.
We speak to the shift for filmmakers who are online. Filmmakers are also content creators who need to do more than make their films. They are also marketing and learning how to think as a business, in many ways.
In their company, Stephanie is the administrator and works on all the business details and marketing while Joey is the creative. Their synergy works very well for their company. They naturally became best friends and both care about their filmmaking family, their crew.
We discuss how constant practice and experience creates a much more fluid and expert experience as a filmmaker. You can then trust your intuition and create fantastic footage and content. Saving you production and on set time, and raising the quality of your projects.
We discuss several topics:
iPhone Live Action Filming
Caring About Your Crew
Airbnb Location Resources
Art School Dropouts Fun Tutorials
Cooking and Feeding Your Crew
Filmmaking and Marketing Online
