The independent film landscape has changed drastically throughout the years, creating new opportunities, as well as new challenges for indie filmmakers.
In this episode, Big Apple Film Festival Podcast host JONATHAN LIPP (BAFF Founder/Director) chats with filmmaker/actor/producer Michael McGlone on how the industry has changed in the last thirty years, opportunities available today for aspiring filmmakers, as well as enlightening perspectives for emerging filmmakers, artists and entrepreneurs.
MICHAEL MCGLONE attended the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, where from, a year later, in his words he "self-graduated." Not long after, through an ad in the paper Backstage, he landed the role that would mark the beginning of his career as an actor. That role was the beloved Patrick McMullen, the excessively moral and excessively conflicted youngest brother in the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize Winning film The Brothers McMullen, the directorial debut of filmmaker Edward Burns. Following this success, McGlone would go on to star in She's the One alongside Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Edward Burns, Amanda Peet and John Mahoney. This was followed by numerous critically acclaimed roles in films such as The Bone Collector co-starring with Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie, HBO's Subway Stories, Hardball co-starring with Keanu Reeves and many more.
As prolific in television, McGlone's numerous recurring roles include the fan favorite Detective Szymanski on Person of Interest, Bobby McKeen in Starz' dramatic series Crash, NCIS Hawaii and SpikeTV's The Kill Point. In a return to the screen with Eddie Burns you can also see him in their third feature film together, The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, in which McGlone plays the fiery Quinn Fitzgerald...
Also a writer, director, producer, musician and performer McGlone's life is often full with work on simultaneous projects. Whether his award winning Kenny The Gun (Big Apple Film Festival official selection), his various poetry and novels, stand-up comedy or Music, McGlone has always pursued the most abundant expression of his multi-talents.
