DZ-65: Collaborating with a Director - The Snip

1 tim 3 min14 februari 2020

Listen if you are thinking of producing your own short film!

This episode, Chas steps down as co-host (kinda) and is interviewed by Stu as a guest, alongside director Ben Mizzi, about the short rom-com that Chas wrote and Ben directed & produced. The episode covers taking an idea from pitch to screen, working with a director, directing performance on the page, and marketing and distribution strategies for short films.

And if you want to watch THE SNIP (a 16 min rom com about a guy who gets a vasectomy without telling his wife) here it is: https://youtu.be/_iBdDFKqqbs

Thanks to Chris Walker for editing this episode.
