Episode 316: Adaptation

About this episode

Robert and Ira discuss the importance of adaptation in filmmaking, particularly in low-budget projects.

This week, Robert turns chaos into cinema while Ira reminds everyone that sometimes failure is just another word for “first draft.” Join Robert and Ira as they discuss the element of adapting and how it applies to low-budget filmmaking, including their own film PROWLER. Listen for free through iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or Google Podcast Music. So, if you’ve ever wondered about the importance of adapting in filmmaking and know when to be tenacious and not let go, or know how to make something work when you need to think on your feet, or know when to really adapt by tossing out your original idea and modify what you had in mind and instead go with your Plan B, then maybe - just maybe - this process will make your film even better by being more organic and raw and honest, then this podcast is for you!
