Putting Out Your First Feature with James Insalaco
<p>On the show today I’m talking with James Insalaco, who made his first feature, a comedy entitled <a href="https://willreadingmovie.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Will Reading</a>, on a shoestring budget over eighteen months. This is one of those DIY stories of a filmmaker putting together a self-funded project with available resources and friends as cast and crew. I think this is a great way to approach a first feature, recognizing that filmmaking is hard and it takes time to develop your voice and your skills. James discusses his festival experiences, his release on Amazon Prime, and his ultimate landing on YouTube. Most importantly, James took the experience gleaned from the release of his first movie to heart, and is carrying it into the making of his next feature. Which is what it’s all about, really. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@saylacofilms" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saylaco Films</a></p><p><a href="https://willreadingmovie.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Will Reading</a></p>

Carrying Distribution Lessons from Feature to Feature, with Chris de Pretis
<p>Today I’m talking to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4148346/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chris de Pretis</a>, an East Bay filmmaker who made his first feature, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Death-Blood-4-Tess-Pretis/dp/B08D5WYW1T" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Death Blood 4</a>, on a shoestring budget, and is on the cusp of releasing his second. Chris’ approach was to use production of his first feature as a learning experience, as opposed to a bigger budget production with equity financing or crowdfunding tying him down to larger concerns. I love this approach to filmmaking as a way to build towards a sustainable career, keeping the stakes low while pushing forward with the long game. Chris brings great enthusiasm and transparency to his story here, we talk some real numbers, and get into some nice details about his promotional efforts, including an honest assessment of mistakes made and lessons learned. This is just one of those great, wide-ranging filmmaker conversations that I love on this show.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrisdepretis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p>
