M dot Strange: Berlin Talent Campus 08
Posted by Phil Powell | Filed under Filmmaking, Lecture
This is a really - and I mean really insightful video of a talk given by a filmmaker going by the name of M dot Strange.
He talks at length about how he created a feature-length animation on his own terms. He learned the skills from scratch, funded it himself, and built up a community of inclusive audience members. He got accepted at Sundance, turned down movie deals (the contracts he delves into are shocking) and is now funding his next film entirely through self-distribution of his work.
This is a really inspiring talk, and really opened my eyes to the possibilities which are emerging for the independent filmmaker.
