I’m thrilled that award winning filmmaker Diane Bell is on the show today. Her first film, Obselidia won at Sundance in 2010 and she’s gone on to make two more feature films. We talk about her films but we also discuss her brand new book, Shoot From The Heart. This book truly changed my life and I know it will certainly have a great affect on you. You can make your film, with Diane’s book, you’ll have absolutely no more excuses. Listen to this podcast, buy Diane's book and then make your movie!

You can follow up on what Diane is doing on her website: www.DianeBell.com. You'll find links to Amazon where you can buy her book.

I had the absolute pleasure of talking with filmmaker Carter Ferguson, a fight director, director, writer, producer and podcaster, among other things. He has over 700 TV and movie credits to his name so, you know the man has information to share. Carter talked about his experiences of filming, Dead End, his award-winning short film. I learned so much from him and I know you will, too.

I first became aware of today’s guest when I heard him on a recent episode of Griffin Hammond and Nick Bodmer’s Hey Indie Filmmakers podcast. It seems that John Luna edits many of those podcasts and hearing him speak got me interested in what he might be doing as a filmmaker. When I looked him up on Youtube I knew I had to talk to him.

Check out John's work at his YouTube Channel. You won't be disappointed.
