Putting Out Your First Feature with James Insalaco
Manage episode 429364135 series 3450747
On the show today I’m talking with James Insalaco, who made his first feature, a comedy entitled Will Reading, on a shoestring budget over eighteen months. This is one of those DIY stories of a filmmaker putting together a self-funded project with available resources and friends as cast and crew. I think this is a great way to approach a first feature, recognizing that filmmaking is hard and it takes time to develop your voice and your skills. James discusses his festival experiences, his release on Amazon Prime, and his ultimate landing on YouTube. Most importantly, James took the experience gleaned from the release of his first movie to heart, and is carrying it into the making of his next feature. Which is what it’s all about, really.
