The Break Breakdown: A Podcast from Queens Bird Films
The big goal for many indie filmmakers is a theatrical release. But when you are self-distributing your own feature film, is a theatrical release possible? For director, actor, and executive producer Scott Monahan, it was. With an acting resume and a background in devised theatrical work, Scott's debut feature film Anchorage came together one intuitive step at a time. Benjy and Courtney speak with Scott about the big obstacles he faced in getting the feature film produced and distributed, how he approached the project as a first time feature director, and the intuitive, creative methods he used to theatrically release this epic debut film.

Web series production is not one size fits all. Some indie filmmakers may start with web series distribution. Others could start with a web series script they are itching to write. And then some might start on a whim while traveling, and spin one simple idea into an epic documentary series made up of 70 short films, shot across 3 continents, over the course of one decade. That's what filmmaker Kevin Longa did. In today's episode, producer Benjamin Shaw talks with Kevin about TASTE, his indie web series cataloguing the stories of food entrepreneurs — from pastry chefs to foragers — from around the world. Starting on this journey with a DSLR camera he got off Craig's List, Kevin has made a prolific body of work by bringing a sense of experimentation, grit, and resilience to this massive 10 year project. Watch Kevin Longa's indie web series here: TASTE And! Kevin is looking for collaborators. DM him on Instagram for more info.

Over the course of two years, we made a web series. And in that time, writer/director Courtney Romano recorded moments of the process — from self-reflection to directing actors to producer's meetings. In today's episode, we piece together a two year process through those BTS audio clips and commentary. Hopefully they give you a feel for the process as a whole. And hopefully, their inherent nebulous, winding, hard-to-pin-down ethos reminds you that you can do this, it isn't a straight line, and the work you do that no one ever sees will indeed add up to something.

One of the biggest components of film post production is music. Music for tv and film can affect the whole mood of the piece. It can create comedy, drama, or urgency. It's another character in the film or series. In this week's episode, Benjy talks with Courtney and Kinsley Vs. music composer, Match Zimmerman. They talk about how to begin a musical collaboration, how to produce music for film, and how film scoring influences and amplifies what's on screen. They also discuss how they made an 11th hour change to the background music in the final episode. This episode is packed with tangible tips about an intangible process!

They say a film gets made three times — once when it's written, once when it's filmed, and once when it's edited. The filmmaker may see all three versions, but the audience will ever just see one: the edited movie. So whether you're the film's editor, director, or producer, the post production steps are arguably the most important part of your indie filmmaking process. In this week's episode, Courtney is joined by filmmaker Akram Shibly. Akram does it all — he's a writer, director, editor, actor, and podcast host. He brings his multi-disciplinary talents to his own film company, True Intent Productions . Akram served as Post Production Supervisor on Kinsley Vs., working closelly with the Editor, Colorist, and Sound Designer to ensure the overall technical vision was executed through the post production steps. Courtney and Akram discuss the importance of film editing, the intangible trust factor a team needs during the film editing process, post production troubleshooting tips, and how they decided to axe one of Courtney's favorite scenes.

As you're beginning the process of indie filmmaking, you can answer "what makes a good web series?" a hundred different ways. But one way to ensure success is the relationship between director and cinematographer. It's this dynamic that creates the footage that eventually becomes your indie film or web series. And the dynamic you create in the behind the scenes of the filmmaking process — from your shot list, to the narrative vibe, to decisions like whether the camera is handheld or static — will determine what kind of footage you can get. Executive Producer Benjy Shaw fills in as host today for a conversation between director Courtney Romano and cinematographer Ian McCay. They discuss what they look for in a director/cinematographer collaboration, how they approached on-set challenges, tips for leading both the camera department and the actors, and how they filmed the final episode of the series as a one take. Today's guest was cinematographer Ian McCay. You can find out more about Ian's work here and on social .

What happens on a film set? The answer is: anything and everything. From managing full company moves between locations, to making sure everyone is fed, to running behind on time, to straying from the script, the energy of a film set can be (at times) overwhelming. Each time you "make your day" can feel like a miracle. Executive Producer Benjy Shaw joins Courtney today to talk through the big lessons they learned from being on a film set as a small film production company and what makes a good web series. Courtney shares how she made on-the-fly directorial choices when they were running out of daylight. Benjy discusses how to make a film set operational. And they both share their takeaways on what worked, what didn't, and what they'll do differently in their next film production process.

You've got the script. You've got the team. But how do you get the money? Before you can raise a dime, you have to understand the importance of budgeting in film production and the basic strategies behind raising money for your indie film project.
