This week on the podcast I'm talking to Director Gene Dolders. Gene started in the corporate space then decided he wanted to move into feature production so he directed two short films to get his connections with cast and crew then set to work on his debut feature 'The Blade Cuts Deeper'. 

Inspired by Italian Giallo horror movies, it was shot for 14 thousand pounds over 14 days.  I talked to Gene about how he financed the film and the challenges of shooting over such a short period. We also talked about his sales and distribution plans and hopes for the future. Enjoy! 

Check out the re-release of Jim's first solo directing feature The Witches Hammer - out now on amazon
