Filmmaker Marissa Vonn sits down with us on this episode of Cinematic Heartland: A Filmmaking Podcast. Marissa is currently living in Los Angeles, but she is an Iowa native and quite frequently returns to the state to work on her films. Mike and I have heard so many great things about Marissa, but this is the first time that we have had the opportunity to sit down and chat about filmmaking with her and we had an absolute blast. She tells us about her feature film Knee High, working with Deft Productions, why she comes back to Iowa to film, what makes an authentic character in a story, and how she turned her passion into a career. What tips does she have for filmmakers trying to get their project done on a low or no budget?
