The Filmmaking Stuff Podcast

Sometimes it's difficult to manage your filmmaking life. In the following filmmaking podcast, I share some tips I utilize to make my life a little less hectic.

Nathan Wrann is a talented, experienced and enthusiastic movie producer. While his movies are still considered underground, his filmmaking philosophy is infectious. This is a man who went against the odds, made the movie he could make and got some features under his belt. I decided to interview him because I think Nathan serves as a good example for any filmmaker who ever wanted to make movies without asking permission. In the interview, you'll get down and dirty tips for no-money productions, promotion, marketing and distribution. Originally, I thought I would break this interview in two parts - but I ended up posting it in it's entirety.

The traditional independent filmmaking business was defined by a filmmaker finding a script, locating investors, raising money, making the movie and then landing an awesome distribution deal - and living happily ever after.  Over the last few years, the entire model of indie filmmaking has gone Topsy-Turvy.

Carole Lee Dean is an industry legend. As an entrepreneur, producer and supporter of independent film, her influence has had a positive impact on filmmaking around the world. Most notoriously, 30 years ago, Carole took a $20 bill and created the $50 million a year short end industry.  Her company was instrumental in the birth of the Hollywood independent film community because she offered film to Indies at prices they could afford.  Customers like Cassavetes took chances with her raw stock and succeeded. In 1992, she created the Roy W. Dean Grant Foundation in honor of her late father. To date, Carole’s grant and mentorship programs have provided filmmakers with millions of dollars in goods and services and have played an instrumental role in creating important documentary films. She is the author of The Art of Film Funding: Alternative Financing Concepts and The Art of Manifesting: Creating your Future. in the following podcast, Los Angeles based indie producer Jason brubaker interviews Carole Dean about non-profit filmmaking, her thoughts on the new model of modern filmmaking and in the process, learns a lesson or two about The Art of Manifesting
