Show Don't Tell: Micro-budget Filmmaking

In this episode, I share a recent conversation with filmmaker and Slamdance co-founder Dan Mirvish, which originally took place during a private live session in The Backlot (my private filmmaking community).Throughout our discussion, Dan offers a masterclass in the practical realities of making a film. We discuss strategies for raising funds for your movie, securing known talent, bringing your vision to life, and so much more. Dan also shares his perspective on what film festivals and distributors look for in an indie film, and how filmmakers can increase their odds of success at each step. And finally, we touch on Dan’s new edition of his book (The Cheerful Subversive’s Guide To Independent Filmmaking), and some of the most important lessons embedded throughout.Links from the show:Dan Mirvish - TwitterDan Mirvish - InstagramDan Mirvish - FacebookThe Cheerful Subversive's Guide To Independent Filmmaking - AmazonThe Backlot - Free 7 Day TrialGet a free exhibit pass to the 2021 NAB Show by visiting bit.ly/21NAB
