The podcast for the people

In this episode Evgenia and Eileen talk about the rough life of independent filmmaking, revealing Eileen’s lurid past as a scarred veteran of the 1990s indie film wars. 

Then we interview young but seasoned indie director Kelly Daniela Norris, whose recent film Nakom was nominated for a number of awards including a 2016 Independent Spirit Award, specifically the John Cassavetes Award for features made for under $500,000.  

Because this episode runs long at a bit over two hours, here’s a handy guide to what’s going on within in the episode so you can jump ahead if you like!

• First 30 minutes: Evgenia and Eileen gripe about indie film

• 00:30 – 1.36: Kelly recalls the impressive hell of making Nakom

• 1:36 – 1:51: Independent Spirit Awards and women directors

• 1:51 – 2:03: How to make a living in indie film, how not to combine filmmaking with academia

• 2:03 – 2:20: On editing and the mysteries of filmmaking, plus general hysteria

We're a little earlier than previously announced in releasing Episode #2, you lucky listeners!
