"This Film Should Be Played Loud"
Arts & Culture Podcasts
On 15th August 2016, I finished the screenplay for "Hollywood Boulevard". This podcast is about turning that script into my first feature film. Can you make a film with no industry contacts and no money? What exactly is the difference between making a feature and a short film? Can you attract name actors on the strength of the script alone? How hard is it transforming a screenplay into a great film? This weekly podcast will aim to answer these questions and more by documenting my journey as a filmmaker during the making of "Hollywood Boulevard".
