The Great Smartphone Film Opportunity In Your Pocket with Jack Lugar

Episode 188 was recorded June 27, 2024 and published July 9, 2024.
Jack Lugar and I met in July 2018 during a lecture I presented at the inaugural Indy Shorts International Film Festival in Indianapolis. Jack was one of the judges for IMFF 2024 and will be back for the International Mobile Film Festival 2025 in San Diego, California.
We have an incredible discussion about his background in LA working as a writer and producer for television, with some shows you will probably know, and working in studio lots. Jack is now working full-time as the cinema and arts professor and runs the film program at Anderson University. When he’s not teaching he’s making films, writing books, and helping students produce their own films as executive producer. 
We talk about $100k cameras, smartphone cameras, the importance of storytelling, apps, AI, screenwriting and more!

Fade In To Film: Apple TV Plus and iPhones and Self Distribution

Episode 185 is our bi-weekly panel discussion. This episode was recorded June 12, 2024 and published June 18.
Apple sells iPhones they claim to have the best filmmaking cameras. They also claim to have the best streaming service, Apple TV+. Netflix and other streaming services who don’t sell smartphones, stream feature films shot with iPhones, but not Apple. I ask our panelists to discuss this and self distribution options for independent filmmakers.
