067 - Gregg Blake - The Indie Film Breakdown

Description

Episode 67 features my good friend and collaborator Gregg Blake (Writer, Director, Actor), who recently wrapped production on his debut feature film SOUVENIR in Atlanta. I helped produce the film, and this episode is our first time breaking down the experience from the emotional core of the story to Gregg’s creative plan to rotoscope the film. We talk about working with actors, the energy of the set, the community painting everyone contributed to, and what it really feels like to direct a feature from your own home studio. We also dive into the current state of filmmaking, the Netflix–Warner Bros. deal, and the changing landscape for indie films. A candid, funny, and personal conversation about the craft and the journey of making SOUVENIR.
