Making Movies is HARD!!!: The Struggles of Indie Filmmaking

This is part one of two as we celebrate the end of our first year as a podcast. In this episode we talk about the past 51 episodes and the biggest lessons we've learned.

This week Timothy and Alrik talk about voice over, trying to find a director as an agency producer, indie filmmakers directing big franchises and collaborating with artists.

What's the relationship between discipline and art? And what's the deal with Shane Carruth?

Timothy is back on Making Movies is Hard! Alrik and Timothy catch up on the last few weeks and talk a deal Timothy was offered from Crypt TV and how that all went down.

This week Colin Levy is back to co-host a second episode while Timothy is in Japan. This week Alrik and Colin talk about a smattering of filmmaking topics including, outlines, pitching and storytelling.

Colin Levy is back! Timothy is on vacation, so Colin takes his place and talks with Alrik about his 3-year project codenamed "Shipnet" and the different ways a filmmaker can approach his or her first feature film project.

After his films played at 50 film festivals and won a handful of awards, Hassan made the move to Los Angeles to pursue a directing career.

This week Timothy and Alrik welcome North Carolina Filmmaker Evan Kidd to the show to talk about his independent filmmaking experience and how he made his first feature narrative, 'Son of Clowns'.
