This past weekend, Lindsay and Manny shot a new short film, and did so with an entirely new crew than they had worked with before. First time working with a pro DP, Philip Kral who you can hear on the Cinematography Panel from Macabre Faire episode, and the 2nd time with a pro sound mixer, Brain Neris. So, this week we discuss the shoot day, how the entire day went, how we handled new the responsibilities and delegations, and what we have left to do. In the final portion of the show, we discuss the long-term plans we have for ourselves and the importance of looking at your films as body of work, rather than attempting to pack everything you want into one film.

Film Races are something we've always enjoyed doing, ever since we began making movies. Our first film race was in 2007 for the Alamo Drafthouse Bloodshots Competition. We have competed in three others since then, we hosted a panel discussion about them at Macabre Faire in 2014, and Manny recently was a judge for the Madison, WI wing of The 48 Hour Film Project contest. This week on the podcast, we discuss our time spent competing in these races, how we got the work done, and tell you about the three films we shot over the last two weeks, which have taken up all of our time, which is the reason we haven't had a new episode! haha If you want to check out our Annabelle-Inspired short at MyAnnabelleCreation.com: go to View Gallery and click the one labeled "Manny S.
