IndieFilmopolis

IndieFilmopolis is a podacast dedicated to indie films and independent film making, hosted by "Philm Maker" Philip Pugh.

In this episode Phil talks to up-and-coming filmmaker Bryson Sams about the making of his short film ‘Projection’, a 40 minute psychological thriller about a cinema projectionist’s decent into madness as he grinds away the hours in the lonely, dark corridors of the multiplex theatre where he works.

Projection has already racked up close to 19 thousand views and climbing steadily, which is no small feat for a 40 minute short film hosted on a platform crowded with short form clickbait content.

Bryson also talks about his future film work and inspirations.

IndieFilmopolis is a podacast centring around indie films and independent film making, hosted by "Philm Maker" Philip Pugh.

In this episode Phil talks to filmmaker Brandon Agan who's made a very successful transition into Production Design, racking up an impressive set of credits in a relatively short period time, having worked on projects for the likes of Missy Elliott, Lion's Gate Films and indie favourite Kevin Smith on his upcoming horror anthology "Killroy Was Here".

Aside from his work with Kevin Smith, Brandon also talks about the fun challenges of production design such as recreating 1930's India in Florida, his short film work, the ups & downs of sourcing funding and going the extra (several hundred) mile(s) to get work and make contacts in the field of production design.
