The Movie Crypt

Ep 593: Michael Felker


Listen Later

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Michael Felker (THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope Studio to discuss his career journey and his directorial debut. From the films of 1999 that injected him with the filmmaking bug… to his experience at FSU and his first few assistant jobs working within the industry… to turning his gig as a "tape logger" for huge studio productions into his own version of film school… to the Production Assistant experience that changed his entire outlook on filmmaking… to his work as an editor on V/H/S VIRAL and his extensive working relationship editing films for friends of THE MOVIE CRYPT Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead (Episode 209) like THE ENDLESS, SYNCHRONIC, and SOMETHING IN THE DIRT… to the process of writing and developing his time traveling mind bender THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT (in theaters now and available On-Demand soon)… and the massive wrench that got thrown into his production at the very start of photography and the extremely creative way that he pivoted to overcome the obstacle… Michael's story is as technically fascinating as it is inspiring.

Also, Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a filmmaker who's project suddenly fell apart, the group discusses some of their unexpectedly pivotal moments at the cinema, and Michael shares why diligent pre-production and keeping the scope of a film within your available resources is so important to the success of an indie film.
