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

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 306 from February 2021 featuring director Kevin Lewis on the show to talk about directing his latest feature Willy’s Wonderland, starring the legendary Nicolas Cage fighting a fun house filled with demonic animatronic creatures! Kevin talks about how the movie came about, how they got Nic Cage on board and his road of directing seven features which lead to his eighth feature with an over 12 year gap in between features. I thought this was a good match for our episode with Zachary Wigon from Monday because they are both filmmakers who didn’t start in horror before making a horror feature and I can imagine Zachary directing a slate of movies similar to Kevin’s one day! After that we play another round of You’re the expert, enjoy!

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the episode from November 2015 with old co-host Timothy Plain and I talking about the film festival premiere of over my dead body which Timothy directed and I produced and we edited together! We talk about the experience of premiering the film and our emotional states after we put so much energy into the film. I thought this was a good match for our episode with Eric and Cameron from Monday because we both talk about the film festival experience of seeing your moving on the big screen. After that I pontificate on what it’s like to be working on an all consuming project for an extended period of time. We can also do a brief check in on what Timothy Plain is up to and his filmmaking journey since Over My dead Body premiered! Enjoy!
