Giles Alderson (The Dare) and producer/editor Robbie McKane sit down with the lovely and talented Shakespeare Sisters to chat how they made their micro budget indie films 'Soundtrack to Sixteen' and 'Much Ado' without ever having made a film before.
Now deep into the edit on their second film the girls regale us with their stories about how they roped their friends into making the film, how they chose to make the film last minute before Hilary went off to University and how they learned on te job by hiring great people around them.
How they wrote the film between Anna school lessons and how they shot the movie in the school where so many of things in the film happened.
How they managed to get a crew together and how they cast the movie and even ended up in it themselves. How they worked out the shots and how to direct on set in a very organic way.
This should inspire any filmmakers out there that anyone can make a film even if you have no experience and make a cracking film in the process.
