Distributing Stand-up Comedy with Zack Lyman
Manage episode 404645534 series 3450747
My guest today is stand-up comedian and filmmaker Zack Lyman, talking about filming and releasing his two stand-up comedy shows, The Big Laugh and Zen Comedy, through FilmHub. And while we mostly focus on feature filmmakers on this podcast, the efforts and strategies Zack put in to release and promote these shows is remarkably similar. Zack and I talk about the pros and cons of FilmHub as a platform, the notion of building a career through multiple projects, and some noteworthy technical considerations filmmakers need to take into account upon delivery. In the middle of the interview, our talk takes a little twist in that Zack asks me what I’ve learned in doing this podcast - now that I’m into thirty plus episodes - I give it a shot, but there’s a lot to learn and it’s not always decisive and clear-cut, but you get my take on it all in a little spiel that I hope makes some sense. Anyway, this is a great conversation mostly focused on Zack experiences, which is what it should be, there’s a lot to take away here especially for those filmmakers looking to FilmHub for their release.
