S3E11
In this weeks episode, our guest is James Webber, screenwriter, director and producer who is gaining success with his first feature film, Sorority. Garvin and I managed to get some great insights into James filmmaking process and how he managed to develop his feature film based on an earlier short film he had been successful with.
Key themes in the discussion related to how he worked with investors and the motivation for offering funds. The hardest part of any film is trying to get investment and quite often filmmakers resort to seeing what they have available and just getting stuck in. This can be a long and arduous process and it becomes important to have the right team to provide the necessary moral support and encouragement. However, if you see this as a business, then the details of preproduction become the driver for managing your film.
James highlights his process and has managed to get his feature film into a range of film festivals with prospects of reaching a wider audience.
