Pete Ohs Rethinks How We Make Movies
Manage episode 406573544 series 118896
Who says making a movie requires expensive equipment, a large crew, and a script? Maybe creating a film can be a creative experiment between a couple of friends who are excited about the uncertainty of the journey that awaits. This was the realization Pete Ohs had when he recognized that the typical approach to filmmaking was not for him.
In today’s episode, No Film School’s GG Hawkins speaks with Pete Ohs, Will Madden, Frank Mosley, and Charles Watson to discuss:
- Finding a location that is narratively inspiring and accessible
- Thinking about the edit while directing
- An extremely unique and collaborative way to develop characters
- Creating a score that is not traditional to other films
- Pete’s unique approach to creating movies
- How Pete keeps the budget so low and why it’s important
- Feeling excited by the challenge of the limited resources you have
- Why the uncertainty of this style of filmmaking is exciting and magical
- Their Slamdance Film Festival experience
- Other festivals and what they love about them
- Starting with what you have available

- “There’s no reason you shouldn’t be making a movie. You can do it if you want to.” [22:26]
