Have I chosen the right path to get this film made? Should I have moved to LA 10 years ago? Was it the right call to hold out for a better actor? My last pitch seemed to go so well, why didn't they call me back? The road to making your first feature film can be long, treacherous, and full of doubt. This is why you need a friend. A peer. Someone who does what you do. Someone who you can call to vent, to ask questions, to compare notes, and to find the will to keep going. We call it directors therapy, and on today's episode, director Mike Pecci makes a call, to a parallel dimension. He reaches out through the fabric of reality to a fellow director who is on an identical path. A guy who has the same taste in movies, very similar short film ideas, and the same filmmaking goals that keep both directors awake at night. The amazing director Ryan Connolly (Film Riot) returns to the show to share his experiences, fears and relentless need to make that first feature film. Get ready for a passionate therapy session on how the business really works and hopefully find some comfort in the choice you have made to step off the beaten path to follow your dream.Film Riot: https://www.filmriot.com/Ryan's Instagram: instagram.com/ryan_connollyMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessYell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: [email protected] Music by:www.acrylmadness.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/@orkladriveThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Loupedeck: https://loupedeck.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess
