Low-Budget Rebels: An Indie Filmmaking Podcast ·

2022/10/20

On this week's Low-Budget Rebels conversation, I was able to chat with the very interesting and fun filmmaker Addison Binek about his movie Psycho Ape! We discuss where the initial inspirations for getting into filmmaking come from and how to move forward with a project - even when you don't have funding. Addison also talks about how he began doing his own style of "run and gun", improv filmmaking and how challenging it can be to stay motivated as you make something you know isn't going to be for

This week's episode of the Low-Budget Rebels podcast almost didn't happen!There were technical issues that almost kept this from being able to be released. But through editing magic and Adobe Audition filters, I was able to turn this into a fantastically interesting episode that I'm proud to show you all. Nick McAnulty joined me this week to talk about his low-budget found footage film Capture Kill Release. It's a wonderfully dark movie about two people who are connecting over something truly

WE'RE BACKWow. I never thought it would happen but here we are! This episode was recorded many, many months ago. Like, back in February... I'm embarrassed as hell that it took this long to get back on the trolley, but at least I'm persistent enough to actually get this finished and out there. And if I remember right, this was a wonderful conversation. James and I talked about the perils of indie filmmaking, his grindhouse movie, the way the pandemic and internet culture has helped (and hindered) us

I stumbled onto Brian Lonano's short films on Arrow Player and instantly knew I needed to talk to this guy. His sort of insanity is not only entertaining as hell, but also inspiring for any filmmaker or artist who has crazy ideas they just need to get out of their head.On this episode we talked about the struggles of making "trash", the importance of knowing what kind of films you're making, content, paying for your art out of your own pocket, trying to strive for more than mediocrity, and staying

Season 3 Episode 15: Director Justin Rodriguez

Low-Budget Rebels: An Indie Filmmaking Podcast ·

2021/01/25

One of the things I love about this podcast is the variety of filmmakers I can find. Low-budget filmmaking is a diverse topic ranging from people just running and gunning, to folks running kickstarters to just get that extra little bit of cash to help bring their vision to life. I've talked to filmmakers who have been doing this half their lives and people just starting out. This week, I had the pleasure to chat with Justin Rodriguez, a Texas based filmmaker who is early on in his career, but has a

His movie Pickaxe is the type of boobs and blood movie a lot of us grew up on in the 80's and he is continuing to make grindhouse style movies.

It's Friday and I'm actually on time to post an episode on Patreon!This week I had the pleasure to sit down and chat with Nathan Ludwig. Nathan is the film festival director of GenreBlast Film Fest, a festival I met many of my past guests at. Because Nathan was a pretty open book and is putting on a fest I truly respect, I thought he would be the perfect guest to chat with about the inner workings of festivals. We also discuss going from being filmmaker and attending fests to starting a festival,

I had no idea what to expect from this podcast with filmmaker and producer B.J. Colangelo. I started following her on twitter a few years ago, and since then she's become one of those people that I truly look forward to seeing tweets from. She has a completely original take on things, especially horror movies - never just being negative to be negative, which she talks about in this episode. We discuss lots of things including her overcoming cancer and realizing she wanted to make movies, starting as

It's amazing how unique each of my guests on Low-Budget Rebels has been. Each one has brought different insight and a different take on what low-budget filmmaking is. This week is definitely not an exception to that. Eric Power is an extremely talented cut out animation filmmaker. He's not only created multiple animation for youtube, many of which have hit viral success, but he's also directed and animated TWO feature length animated films.

He's one of the hardest working people I've met in the industry and has worn all kinds of hats from editor to camera operator to colorist to vfx artist. He's done it all.Our conversation goes all over the place, as you'd expect a chat between two friends would. We talk about why Jeremy and I like to jump around from different types of work, how he

Season 3 Episode 7: Punk Rock Filmmaker Jason Zink

Low-Budget Rebels: An Indie Filmmaking Podcast ·

2020/11/09

I like to use the term "punk rock filmmaker" a lot recently.It's not only a nod to an "edgy" style, but also a nice way to discuss folks who use what they have, break the rules of the process, and do whatever the hell they want to get their movie made. This weeks guest, Jason Zink, embodies this idea of doing whatever you can to get your movie made and then doing whatever you can to get your movie seen, and working your ass off to find an audience for what you do. From his start of just pushing out

2020/11/02

It seems like a lot of my episodes of this Low-Budget Rebels podcast start out the same. I ask the guest how they started, they say they picked up a camera when they were 7, and the rest is history. But not this week. Elena Weinberg didn't get into actually directing until later, starting as an actress in Austin, Texas (a place we both have very fond and interesting relationships with) and slipping into directing out of necessity with her husband - Elena tells an inspiring story of how she made her
