The saga continues

As she should have. Artists combine scientific patterns with their truth to create the best art

Day 1 already behind schedule. Went over budget by 25%. 10k burned per day. Shitshow

Just cause Dan knows how to drive doesn't mean he knows everything about cars. Just cause we make films doesn't mean we do it well.

Go to Story.makingafilmmaker.com to get the tool Dan talks about in this episode. When Dan was 12 he started learning computer animation and was printing the manual out onto sheets of paper towels when there was no paper. That's commitment son! But he realized learning using the internet hasn't gotten much easier. At least in filmmaking because the internet is full of recycled, regurgitated misinformation on the subject.

Chaz is also in Mexico so Dan turned this podcast into a real shitshow😂

Chaz and Dan had their shoot shut down by the law😂

Dan wrote a script that sucked for a class in school and was told "write what you know" by his teacher. Good advice.

What does a director do? Do they work with the actors? Lead amazing artists? Yes.

But his main job is to understand where to put the camera. If this contradicts everything you know then you may want to consider the argument made in this episode.
