2023-04-201h 00Making Movies is HARD!!!: The Struggles of Indie FilmmakingBONUS: Throwback Interview with Filmmaker Rebecca Weaver!On this Thursday throwback episode we are going to play our interview with Rebecca Weaver back from episode 103 that aired on May 22nd 2017. I thought this was a good pairing for Dawn’s episode because Rebecca actually made her first feature with a tiny two person crew on a very tiny budget of $11k. I think this is a bit smaller than what Dawn was thinking of but I think it’ll make a good contrast to hear how a filmmaker made their feature with far less resources and a really small team. After that we play another round of You’...

He's a working writer and a director, spending most of his time on TV and films. But the reason we wanted to talk to him was because he lived the...

Dillard!Here's a throwback episode from way back in the vault from episode 157 with writer/director J.D. Dillard who was famously attached to a Star Wars feature and a Superman feature and was in development on a remake of The Fly for many years. In this conversation we talk about making his first feature Sleight which ended up premiering at Sundance and being released in theaters and made over $1 million dollars in theaters alone before going to streaming/DVD on a $250k budget. This was a really fun conversation then and I think it remains a great one now!
