The MAKE IT Podcast

This week I bring in Nick Buggs, co-founder of Bonsai Creative as my Podcast co-host to expound upon the topic of creating a winning pitch deck and prospectus for your film. For those that hope to gain the attention of investors and top collaborators, we provide actionable advice on how to build your investor talk tracks and pitch decks.

“If all you see is the frame and the light, you’re not a Director. You can’t be a Director if you don’t know how actors work.” - Nathan Edwards⠀⠀⠀ 

On this episode, we have a conversation with Producer and Director Nathan Edwards (@MrNathanEdwards on social).

We talk about understanding actors and improv as a means to better direct and produce, the keys to shooting political ads versus commercial ads, and the legend of Knox Hargrove. Enjoy!

"Filmmakers are too quick to jump over their own communities and forget that there are hundreds, to thousands, to hundreds of thousands of people that they have access to that could help them recoup their money." - Nick Buggs
