PUBLIC VERSION. Director Travis
Greene and writer Jonathan Buchanan (8 FOUND DEAD- currently
available to rent or purchase digitally) join Adam, Joe, and Arwen
in the ArieScope Studio to discuss the making of their award
winning new feature. From the writing of 8 FOUND DEAD’s non-linear
story and pushing back on the note to “unfold it” and tell the
story in a more traditional order of events… to Travis risking it
all by selling his house to finance the production and then finding
himself renting a place that just so happened to be the perfect
location to shoot the film… to the import role that Priscilla’s
Gourmet Coffee Shop and their legendary Raspberry Mocha played in
helping the film come to life… to blocking and staging a story in
four separate but converging timelines… to how Jonathan’s years as
a prop master and Travis’ years as an editor prepared them for
producing their very own feature without getting caught up in the
usual first-time producer pitfalls… to knowing when and
when not
to listen
to test audiences’ opinions of early cuts even when they are filled
with trusted friends… to going on to win “Best Feature” and “Best
Director” at the 2022 ScreamFest in Los Angeles… we hope that this
incredibly inspiring conversation helps push you to stop waiting
for someone else’s permission and start making your dream a
reality! Remember, ”if
not
now
WHEN?”
Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood
Therapy” for a listener who is about to move to the United States
and who is looking for some tips about attending her very first
horror convention, Adam has some advice for grumpy convention
celebrities, and the boys joke about what a big success YORKIETHON
8 will be… several weeks before finding out just how
successful it actually was! But more on that next week in
our special Christmas episode!
