Episode 320: Producing

About this episode

Robert and Ira discuss the challenges and responsibilities of film producing, particularly in the context of micro budget films.

This week, Robert breaks down the art of keeping a film alive through sheer willpower, while Ira admits producing sounds suspiciously like being blamed for everything. Join Robert and Ira as we discuss the role of producer on micro budget films, focusing on our upcoming feature, PROWLER. Listen for free through iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or Google Podcast Music. So, if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a film producer, which involves feeding the cast and crew and running around town to get camera gear and batteries and lots of props, including combination locks, a porn collection, tennis shoes, and fake scars and guns, and keeping security at a distance and being a sounding board for the director and scouting the subways and driving to the desert to record gunshots and shattering my car window and stomping barefoot in a pool of blood under a freeway tunnel for a scene that wasn’t used, then this podcast is for you!
