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

This week I had the amazing opportunity to chat with exploitation filmmaker Jeremy Sumrall about why we do what we do. 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. We discuss everything from how covid could change indie filmmaking and film audiences, to film audio, how we got into the genre we work in, John Carpenter , and so much more!Go check out Jeremy's work at firstweekofwinterfilms.com and check

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,

2020/12/14

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

On this weeks episode, I hopped on Zoom to talk with documentary filmmaker Taylor Morden (for the second time) to talk about his new feature film The Last Blockbuster. We not only talked about his new movies but also chatted about finding talent to be in his movie, looking for what's around you to make a movie about, watching The Net, movies we've watched the most, Terminator and special effects, old rental stores we went to, Orgazmo, the future of movie rentals and film conversations, being

2020/11/24

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. His style is completely original and his take on the medium

This is a special episode for me.Jeremy Wanek and I have been friends for many years and worked together on more projects than I can even remember. 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

After a week off, I think I've come back with one of the most knowledgeable guests yet. Noam Kroll is known for many things. A jack of all trades in every regard, Noam has not only made multiple feature films and shorts, he's created a reputation as making some of the best LUTs for cameras and editing, film grain packages, the wonderful "Show Don't Tell" podcast, and much more.

This week on Low-Budget Rebels, I'm joined by one of the coolest humans I know, and someone who I might have more in common with than anyone I've ever met. John Hale started making stop-motion movies as a kid (sound familiar?) and taught himself every part of the process of low-budget monster movie making (again, sound familiar?). We talk about his short film The Conduit and struggles that came along with it. Waking up in cold sweats, obsessing over little details, and finding ways to fix overlooked

Cape Town, South Africa director and actor Ryan Kruger has an incredibly interesting background and enough insight to make me get off our Zoom conversation and instantly want to start making more art.His movie Fried Barry (starring Gary) is playing On Demand at Fantasia film fest in the coming weeks and looks to be one helluva' weird trip!
