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

Memorable Quotes

  • “Can I make a movie the way I did when I was fifteen?” [14:27]
  • “It doesn’t have to cost so much money. Filmmaking can just be an activity. It can be just a hobby.” [16:19]
  • “Every camera that’s new is good enough. You don’t need the newest camera.” [18:09]
  • “There’s no reason you shouldn’t be making a movie. You can do it if you want to.” [22:26]
  • “The things you think you need, you probably don’t.” [40:20]
