π¬ BTS Creative Academy: Film Festival Series - Nugget taken from Ep. 174 π¬
Welcome back, creative minds! In this exciting episode of the BTS Creative Academy, I, your host Martin Colton, dive deep into the world of independent film with two incredibly talented guests: the visionary writer and director Leif Johnson, and the brilliant composer Andrew Chappell. π₯πΆ
Today, we explore their latest masterpiece, Mr. Doom. This gripping film takes us to the fringes of society, where lifeβs rejects, the undesirable, and the debauched live out their days in a haze of bars, hustles, and fleeting moments of glory. ππ»
Mr. Doom tells the story of an unlikely pair on a perilous path of self-destruction, clinging to a bygone lifestyle centered around the green felt of a pool table. Theyβre heroes in their own postcode, god-like with a pool cue, but lost in every other aspect of life. This film is a raw, unfiltered look at the beauty and chaos of living on the edge. π±π
Leif Johnson shares his unique approach to storytelling, emphasizing the importance of strong sound design, vibrant colors, and dynamic editing. Andrew Chappell complements this vision with a powerful musical score that brings the filmβs gritty world to life. π¨π΅
Andrew Chappell, with over 20 years of experience in the music and audio industry, has worked as a writer, composer, artist, performer, producer, and engineer. His work has reached over half a million streams, showcasing his versatility and talent in the industry. πβ¨
Donβt miss this inspiring conversation that delves into the creative process behind Mr. Doom and offers invaluable insights for aspiring filmmakers and creatives alike.
