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

Natalie Erika James: A Dream Come True!


Listen Later

This week we speak with Australian writer and filmmaker Natalie Erika James about the making of her horror film, Relic, that had its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival. Natalie also talks about the adventure of making a horror film as a woman, from proof of concept to getting Jake Gyllenhal on board as a producer and the Russo brothers as executive producers and if she suffered from any sort of imposter syndrome directing Emily Mortimer as a first time director.

Additionally our Players of the week, Independent Female Storytellers Cassandra Chowdhury and Amy Oden also talk about if they've ever felt like an imposter on set.
