How to Make an Award-Winning Film with a Two Person Crew: The Planters
Manage episode 246174116 series 2481322
Hannah Leder has a variety of acting credits including Deep Impact, Pay it Forward, and Judd Apatow’s Love series. She also has a recurring role on Apple TV+'s The Morning Show.
On this podcast episode I interview Hannah about her work on The Planters, a quirky, character-driven comedy that won Best of the Fest, Best Cinematography, and Best Song at Nashville Film Festival. Along with Alexandra Kotcheff, Hannah co-wrote, co-directed, co-starred, and co-shot the film. The Planters ended up taking 127 days to shoot, and Hannah and Alexandra were the only crew members on set.
Some of the things we discuss include
- How to shoot a high-quality film with a two-person crew
- The camera and lighting setups they used for the film
- How the stop-motion sequences in the film came together
At the end of the episode you can hear a preview of “You and Me Together,” the film's award-winning song from Phil Danyew.

Up to Date is a short comedy about a blind date gone wrong. It's the first live-action short I directed a few years ago, and it was written by Stephen Hoover. His script Damage Control was a finalist in the Nashville Film Festival's screenwriting competition, and he helped to make possible my festival podcast coverage.
