"Just do it. Find the resources you know and make it happen". and How he put it out on various platforms including Hulu.\\nPeople always think your first film has to be a breakthrough hit . It doesn\\u2019t. Just make a film and learn from your failings\\nMaking On The Corner of Ego and Desire, a feature film at the Sundance Film Festival during the festival was a challenge but he made it happen. Getting the cast and crew together and making the \\u2018director\\u2019 role a female. Wanted to make a movie about trying to sell a movie at Sundance. A this is Spinal Tap for the movie makers\\nHow people at teh festival were happy to help out. Managed to shoot in amazing places, Molly\\u2019s, outside nightclubs, on buses and Sundance head quarters without getting kicked out.\\nThe only issue was the party scene they had at their own Sundance party were people were having too much fun to care about someone making a movie.\\nBut Alex tells us how making the whole movie was like improvisation Jazz. It\\u2019s emotional and semi autobiographical\\nDistribution side of things . Going to see where the festivals takes it.\\n\\u201cGet out of your own way, stop being afraid and get out and do it.
