Podcast appearances and mentions of mike capes

On this episode we dive deep into the making The Invisible Raptor with writer and star Mike Capes and producer Nic Neary. The film is a hilarious, Amblin-inspired horror-comedy that delivers big creature-feature thrills (without ever showing the creature itself).Mike and Nic share how the movie originated as a 3 AM idea, the journey from script to screen, and how they secured funding and distribution in a competitive indie film market. They also get into guerrilla filmmaking tactics, crafting a compelling pitch package, boosting production value with amazing locations and handling on-set crises. Please enjoy this conversation with Nic Neary and Mike Capes.Show NotesMovies Mentioned:Jurassic Park (1993)Ghostbusters (1984)The Goonies (1985)Indiana Jones franchiseE.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)Jaws (1975)Airplane!

The Invisible Raptor team understood that a script alone wouldn't grab attention, so they built a compelling pitch package with costumes, action figures, a movie poster, and a humorous pitch video. These tangible assets made the project feel real to investors, giving it momentum before it was even funded. A script isn't always enough—filmmakers should create visual, physical, or digital materials to showcase their vision, commitment and enthusiasm.Write the Movie You Want—Then Find a Way to Make It HappenConventional wisdom tells indie filmmakers to write “contained, low-budget” scripts—but the Invisible Raptor team ignored that advice. They wrote a film with a dinosaur theme park, elaborate effects, and car chases, then figured out how to make it work through resourcefulness, networking, and persistence. Finding an affordable dinosaur amusement park seemed impossible—until a chance conversation with John Stamos led them to the perfect location. Discovery Cube Science Center in Anaheim, where Stamos' sister worked, had everything they needed—including a giant animatronic dinosaur that pooped, which fit the script perfectly.By piecing together multiple assets through favors the team gave the movie a much bigger scope than its budget should have allowed. Don't let financial limitations stifle your creativity—write the best version of your story, then problem-solve to bring it to life.Hire for EnergyFilmmaking is grueling, especially on an indie production where long hours and tight budgets push everyone to their limits. The Invisible Raptor team knew that keeping morale high was just as important as hitting their shots. A positive, energized set prevented burnout and kept the production moving forward, even when challenges arose. They understood that even one toxic crew member can derail everything. That's why they were selective in hiring—not just bringing on trusted friends, but choosing people who truly supported the vision. Negativity spreads faster than positivity, so keeping the right energy on set meant keeping the right people around.Follow Mike Capes at:IMBd:

Debate starts at: 4:57. Are dogs dumb as shit? Santina Muha (https://twitter.com/SantinaMuha) of Comedy Bang Bang and The Facts of Life joins us this week with Mike Capes (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv751BnNvZshrvTU64khOww) of "The Hacks of Life." It wasn't until I typed that very sentence that I realized that one of my guests has done a parody of a show the other appeared on. Think that would have been interesting to bring up during the episode? Well tough shit because I didn't. But what we did do is talk about how dogs are idiots...or are they? As usual, the vote is binding. Lots of great voicemail this episode, plus some fan gifts that we'll open next week. Watch the video version here at Madcast Media Network YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChMUFeIZ1l9uRJ4bIXuAKDg?sub_confirmation=1 Also, this video was recommended to me right after we finished recording this episode. Do dogs protect their owners? Here's an informal test by "Inside Edition:" https://youtu.be/NZ74oFctP_g Ron Babcock (http://twitter.com/ronbabcock) was out this weekend at a wedding. He also bought a light house, if his social media posts are to be believed--and they are. Taylor Nikolai (https://www.instagram.com/taylornikolai/) brought a story about a woman who went on a date with a guy and then sent him 65,000 text messages. Sounds like an average Tinder date. Ya boy Mikey Bolts (https://www.youtube.com/user/michaelbalalis) is out again. Mother's day stuff because he's secretly a mom.
