In this episode, Dan interviews Joey Puleo, the director of the feature length documentaries America's Last Little Italy: The Hill and A New Home. They discuss the perils of being an independent documentary filmmaker and how Joey managed to make money with his documentary in creative ways even during a pandemic. They also discuss his short film that kicked off his career, screening at Hollyshorts and meeting Kevin Hart. This episode gets into the real details of what it takes to market a film yourself, find your audience and creative ways to sell your film in this current world of distribution.
His newest film, A New Home, tells the story of the Bosnian refugees who fled to St. Louis in the early '90s and made St. Louis the 2nd largest home for Bosnians outside of Bosnia.
