Walt Disney once said, “We don’t make movies to make money. We make money to make more movies.” We think Dino Tripodis would agree with that. On this episode of Quality Time With MoreSteam, Dino joins the show to discuss the making of DOWN TO THE FELT, the largest independent film ever produced in Columbus, Ohio. Michael Weston, Michael Stahl-David, and Scottie Thompson have starring roles in DOWN TO THE FELT, and Dino is a writer and producer of the film. Dino is also a comedian, podcaster, and Columbus, Ohio radio legend. On this episode, you will discover how creativity meets efficiency as Dino and host Dan Swartwout explore the art of producing a high-quality film on a $1.5 million budget. That may sound like a lot of money, but the average Hollywood movie has a budget between $50-$100 million. Dino shares entertaining insights and anecdotes about balancing artistic vision with practical constraints. Whether you're a film enthusiast or passionate about optimizing processes, this episode offers valuable lessons and inspiration for anyone looking to achieve excellence on a budget. Oh, did we mention that Dino and Dan have been friends for over 25 years? Yeah, this is a fun listen.
