Don’t Make Your Movie! w/Tom Morris & Carlyn Hudson - Just Shoot It 493

Tom Morris https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2730235 / joins Carlyn Hudson - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3972277 https://www.instagram.com/carlynhudson to talk about their views on making that signature feature film that everyone dreams of, one that is an iconic piece of IP that launches a Jordan Peele-career. And Oren and Matt dive into what that means when you start wanting to own a house, have kids, and think about college -- not your college tuition, but your kids! On the one hand, a successful freelance career in commercials, can make it all happen. And over 10 years, 15 years or more, it can elevate your directing chops beyond what you could have imagined. On the other hand, it can be the very reason why chasing that feature, the one that finally shows your full skill set and ability, is a financial fantasy. Like, why risk losing work while spending 2, 3, or 10 years to make that feature? Ira Glass preached about how you have to stick it out until your talent matches your taste. But is that even possible in a future with AI? And Tom gets into how, after having several features under his belt, what would get him noticed by influential showrunners, was making another short. This is what adulting is like as a filmmaker. And it comes at a time when what you do next matters more than ever. --- Help our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPod *** MIXER !!!
