Filmmaking on a Small Budget | Co-Directors, AJ Davies & Jay Sutherland, Discuss Making The Cold

Co-directors of the short film, The Cold, Jay Sutherland and Anthony (AJ) Davies, discuss filmmaking on a micro-budget. Anthony and Jay recount the details of that process; the challenges they faced and how they overcame them; from filming in a foreign country, to the meticulous and often laborious visual effects and editing process, on an ever-changing, constantly tight, budget.In spite of all of the challenges and difficulties, the end-product was a film which was accepted at numerous international film-festivals, received a High Commendation, and has acted as a stepping-stone for some interesting projects.Hopefully this podcast will be interesting to young and experienced film-makers alike; those who might stand to learn something, and those who simply enjoy listening to filmmakers regale tales of an unusual film-making process.The Cold was co-directed by AJ Davies and Jay Sutherland, written by the Bram Stoker award-winning novelist, Kealan Patrick Burke, and starred Kacey Clarke (of Resident Evil: Afterlife and The Inbetweeners) alongside Jay.
