b"Director Mark AC Brown and actor David Whitney talk about how they made their new indie film Guardians.\\nWe also chat about how Mark made a film for his degree but it was a great experiment and not to be seen again. How he wrote a feature script for Nu Image but the 'Expendables' ruined it and how it is best to write something to make yourself for free or on a micro budget with what you have available to you.\\nHow when making an indie film, continuity is not as important as the story. How the establishing scene of a character is so important. But don\\u2019t waste time on drone shots. Then get the most amount of permissions you can get. And if not shoot anyway.\\nSuzanne Smith - their DoP was a runner on a Brainehound short and worked her way up. Made short film Beard with David and Mark and proved herself as a brilliant DoP and How having great all rounders like Fred Fournier and Joe Starrs as editor and 1st AD respectively is vital as is keeping your \\u2018team\\u2019 from your shorts/music videos and bringing them with you.\\nWith low budget movies you have to juggle and workaround peoples schedules and how 'Withnails' - Richard E Grant's marvelous book was an inspiration (as was The Wah Wah Diaries)\\nWhen you are supposed to be doing he scene in 4 shots but end up doing it in one due to time constraints but it\\u2019s one of the best moments in the film so it's not always best to stick to your shot lists.\\nWhy post can take so long when you are asking for favours on a micro budget film.\\nHow they learned from other filmmakers on how they distributed their films - Ben Cookson, Fizz and Ginger's Two Down and James Rumsey's Drunk on Love.\\nMark wanted to have a cinema run so chose Our Screen to have a theatrical release. Then the release got extended as it sold out for the second night.\\nAnd how they opened a festival in a double bill with recent horror film IT.\\nLinks: The Film: www.guardiansfilm.co.uk/Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq25LXWmsps&t=10sTwitter twitter.com/guardiansbhfFacebook www.facebook.com/guardiansfilm/Mark AC Brown www.markacbrown.com/ Twitter : twitter.com/BrainehowndfilmDavid Whitney www.davidwhitney.org/ Twitter: twitter.com/DWhitney\\nFollow uswww.TheFilmmakersPodcast.com T: @filmmakerspod Giles Alderson www.directedbygiles T: @gilesalderson\\nRecorded at Just Voices Studios in London\\n\\nHosted on Acast.
