I hope you all enjoyed Greywood's Plot if you were able to watch it. And if you didn't enjoy it or weren't able to watch it, well... TOUGH SHIT!

JK JKJKJJ JKJKJ. You all should have received a private screener link in your inbox. If you did see it, shoot me over feedback and fill out the the survey - (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WGMN59M) I'm also trying to think of fun ways to discuss the movie, the process, etc. Should we all do a live chat via Discord or Hangouts? Maybe answer some questions?


I'll be posting behind-the-scenes videos over the next few weeks as I start to build my documentary "Starting Fresh"

Anyways....

This episode, EPISODE 100!!!! (insert fanfare and confetti falling), is a really special on. I sat down with my costar of Greywood's Plot and life long friend Keith Radichel LIVE during the patreon rough cut screening. We chatted about growing up together, making movies from a young age, Keith's stubbornness, the process of making Greywood's Plot, and answer a few questions. Keith also explains why you "don't funk with the Chunk."

This weeks guest was fantastic. Not only is John Brennan a huge inspiration to me, but he's also just downright fun to talk to.

We discuss our introductions to Troma, old movie rental stores, horror films, making music, Joe Bob Briggs' amazing Shudder show LAST DRIVE-IN and how he got involved, script writing, Shakespeare's Shitstorm, lizard shit, Tromagate, and much more. This was one full episode!

THIS IS THE WEEK EVERYBODY!

Friday, only on patreon, you be able to be part of the TEST SCREENING of Greywood's Plot. This is a rough cut with sloppy sound, missing visual effects, temp score, and some other unfinished features... and that's a good thing!

You'll actually be able to be a part of the film making process by tuning into this test screening. Help us improve the movie. Help us get it done. Help me help you!

Shit. I just went full Jerry Maguire, didn't I? Oh well.

Anyways, make sure to share the teaser trailer - https://youtu.be/XGOPFAHXv-s

CHEERS!

It's another week and another really riveting, raw, and amazing podcast.

Indie Film Hustles own ALEX FERRARI is here to discuss the indie spirit, how to hustle, his new movie, and his new book!

We dive into topics such as his start in the industry, meditation, diet, what the true spirit of indie filmmaking is, being self aware, earthing, shooting a movie AT Sundance (yes, you read that right), working for the devil and how that came to be, and so much more.

This really was one of my favorite podcasts I've ever done :)

He's back, everyone!

Alejandro Montoya Marin is slippin' his way back onto the podcast to bullshit about a TON of important stuff, primarily CROWD FUNDING YOUR MOVIE!

We tackle topics like the amount of work that goes into an IndieGoGo campaign, the toll it takes physically and mentally on someone, the fun that can come from it, and the confidence it can give you. Ale explains how he reached out to people, found podcasts to go on, and his general marketing campaign.

He also provided some EXCLUSIVE Behind-the-Scenes photos EXCLUSIVELY on my patreon!

He's back for a second part! Antonio and I bullshitted for so long, I had to split this episode into twosies but we FINALLY in part 2 get to the topic he originally came on for.

In this episode, we chat about film festivals, stealing ideas, the fear of not accomplishing something, attempting to be prolific, self actualizing, filling out the form to go on Rebel, and so much more.

The OFFICIAL new Podcast schedule starting this week. New episodes on Sunday exclusively for patrons. Then the episodes will go live to the public every Thursday morning. How does that sound?

I've already got some amazing guests lined up including the two parter with Antonio Pantoja, an episode about crowdfunding with Alex Montoya Marin, the inaugural episode of The Movie Meatloaf Podshow, indie film guru Alex Ferrari, what I assume will be one of my most ridiculous episodes yet withAvery Merrifield, the 100TH EPISODE GREYWOOD'S PLOT SPECTACULAR, and a SUPER special guest that I'm too nervous to announce already... Who's excited?

It's been an honor to be able to call Antonio Pantoja a friend and at this point, he's basically become like my podcast cohost...

It's always a blast to have him on, and because it's such a blast, it only goes much longer than expected. Which is why this episode has been divided into two episodes. If you're a patreon subscriber you can listen to both episodes now (with a bonus PATREON EXCLUSIVE podcast with Jennifer next Sunday)

On this first episode, we talk about all sorts of film-making stuff like building your audience, helping your community, realizing that you don't need to fear someone stealing your style, breaking my Les Paul, come up with ideas for a movie, studios wanting trailer moments, and TONS MORE!

BLAM! Can you believe it? We're already at podcast episode 91!

I plan to do something really special for episode 100. Maybe the whole Greywood's crew in a drunken round table discussion?! WITH VIDEO!?.... What do you all think of that?

This week, I had the pleasure of bullsh!tt!n' with filmmaker and fellow patreon filmmaker Dan Lotz. He's been an amazing inspiration as to what you can do with no budget and I haven't even seen his film yet.

In this episode we discuss where budget goes on a nearly zero budget film, how he felt about not getting on Rebel Without A Crew, Dan's movie The Long Con, how you make the most of locations, how to get around the competitive urge to put down other filmmakers, and why making a feature for no money is so exciting.

This is a film heavy podcast, but I think it's an interesting conversation for everyone!

Give it a listen, yo!

Jenny and I had an extra hour to sit down and chit-chat about last years SXSW adventure. We talk about our favorite moments from 2018's SXSW, what we love about Austin, and how I fear this year being less fun. We also talk about how relative success is and Avery doing arts and crafts. This and SO MUCH MORE!

*BONUS* Stay tuned after the closing theme for a bonus podcast with Raphie!

Here's the second part of my interview with Peter Mahaffey about shooting his 16mm movie! In this episode he talks about working with his cast and more challenges to working with the equipment he had!

ENJOY!

This week I'm joined by filmmaker and Rebel Without A Crew reality crew member Peter Mahaffey to talk about his adventure in 16mm filmmaking. Peter has A LOT to say, so this episode is being split into two parts. Hear about the process of shooting a 16mm crew and how it's different from my experience of digital filmmaking.
