Tuesday Jan 04, 2022
Tuesday Jan 04, 2022
We have a great discussion with the leading voice for smartphone movie making in Russia, Maxim Mussel. He’s made three feature films with smartphones and launched the only festival for mobile films in Russia.
Incredibly, Maxim was inspired when he made a short film which won an award at the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego, California in 2014. He was so impressed with the festival in San Diego that he went all in on smartphone filmmaking. He launched the Filmmaker’s International Festival about four years ago. He’s written a book and has been teaching mobile filmmaking.
What we discuss:
* How the pandemic affected both our festivals* Storytelling in film* Developing your story before shooting* Teaching filmmaking for mobile* The need for good experienced actors in mobile filmmaking* Submissions deadlines for their festival* Special effects in mobile films, does it work?* The many instructors for mobile filmmaking today* Selling your mobile film

We also introduced our listeners to a new series called “In The Weeds” with Jason C. Marshall discussing story structure and formula for narrative screenwriting. The series aims to help filmmakers make unforgettable captivating films.

In this episode, you meet Julian and enjoy a wonderful conversation about filmmaking, best microphones, character development for screenwriting and how the character’s perspective literally drives the twists and turns of the story.

NFT and Mobile Filmmaking - Robert David Duncan
Tuesday Dec 07, 2021
Tuesday Dec 07, 2021
What is NFT? It’s a Non Fungible Token and it authenticates your digital media as yours. This is one of the most attractive features. The other attraction to this is that you can build in a royalty to your art and media. If it gets sold, built into the code is that royalty so that you are paid as the original creator.
Filmmakers are accustomed to royalties but most original creators are now able to gain the benefits of affirming ownership and receiving royalties for your work online.
There are ways you can save an NFT, of course, just as any art or photograph online. However, collectors or buyers now have a way to verify they own a genuine work of art.

In the Weeds Series From Idea to Concept in Film - Jason C. Marshall
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
Making movies can feel intimidating. One way to reduce that overwhelming feeling is by understanding there is a process which will guide you into believing in your idea. Coming up with an idea for your movie will lead you into creating the concept. You may need to go back to your idea as you develop your concept. But here’s the magic though. It’s while you are developing your concept that you may realize it’s not such a great idea! And isn’t it great to find out before you start writing a screenplay? Episode 113 of the “In The Weeds” series with Jason C. Marshall is a great conversation that brings us back to the origin of film and story development.
So don’t start writing your screenplay before you have your concept. Go back and get a new idea if you need to. If you write a screenplay and get lost in in the process and find yourself not finishing what you started, it doesn’t mean you failed. It could be that you didn’t first develop your concept. Jason and I discuss the difference between idea and concept and why conceptualizing your idea is so important to succeed. This series can help you make some incredible and memorable films!
