Films Are Birthday Cakes with Ryan Graves
Manage episode 371517143 series 3450747
Today I talk to Ryan Graves, a fellow Portlander who also happens to be filling the role of colorist for the three short films I’m making this summer. Ryan has started to establish himself in the Portland as a professional colorist, but on the show Ryan and I talk primarily about his film, Emily, about a young married couple struggling to stay together after the husband suffers a crisis of faith. Ryan made the film on a twenty thousand dollar budget from a true angel investor, but struggled to find an audience for it due to it being partly received as a faith-based movie even though it really wasn’t intended for that audience. Along the way Ryan and I touch upon a lot of topics relevant to indie film distribution, including some honest words about predatory distributors, and the concept that films are like birthday cakes.
