00:01:34
Speaker
It is the longest that we've taken any kind of break. And, you know, unfortunately, it was unforeseen circumstances. So my heart still goes out to you, buddy. I know what it's like. Trust me.
00:01:46
Speaker
Yeah. But. on a better note, we are back and we have special guest waiting in the wings, ready to tell us a story.
00:01:58
Speaker
We're not slackers. We're, we're, we're human beings, brother.
00:02:05
Speaker
We're human beings. Yes. I went out and I, I started, you know, looking at stuff and seeing people. Well, actually this person, damn cat hair. Um,
00:02:17
Speaker
I've been wanting to get on the show for a while. I've looked at his stuff for probably about a year now, and I just kept looking and looking and looking. And then finally I was watching a you know a few you know you podcasts and stuff, and I just liked how he presented himself. And then you know I just started liking his stuff, and then i finally he finally agreed to it after I had somebody ask him. Oh, you had to beg him.
00:02:48
Speaker
No, i i didn't ah one I didn't have to beg him.
00:02:54
Speaker
How much did you pay him? um I don't have no money. I bought shirts. Seriously?
00:03:06
Speaker
Yes, we got new shirts coming. No, this.
00:03:13
Speaker
Who the hell's that? don't know.
Introducing Special Guest Chase
00:03:16
Speaker
That's ridiculous. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, Mark, why you bring him on the stage?
00:03:24
Speaker
Chase. Chase, what's happening, buddy? How are you? What's going on, y'all? What's going on? You guys are cracking me up. I don't know who this is.
00:03:35
Speaker
don't know who this is, but that's funny. Yeah. That's. That's hysterical. I really don't know who that is. Tell him. They'll be telling all of our secrets. That's right.
00:03:50
Speaker
Hey, what's going on? What's going on? What's going on? All right, Chase. I got to know. So Mark says that he follows you, um stalks you on social media he is what said. That's right.
00:04:02
Speaker
No, I don't stalk him. I just look. I have a few of his stuff on. He was telling me about some films that you have done, and he was trying to explain one to me earlier, and I was like, oh, that one sounds crazy.
00:04:15
Speaker
Which one? Which one? i A girl that gets molested by her father and then decides she's- That's Broken Innocence. And i don't want to and i don't want to I don't want to spoil it for everybody, so go watch the film. What is
Discussion on 'Broken Innocence'
00:04:29
Speaker
it called?
00:04:29
Speaker
Broken Innocence. Broken Innocence. So, two yeah, Missions was probably one of ah my most like personal stories because it is loosely based off of um someone that knew where they was going through that and they end up taking their life. But the story itself really stuck with me.
00:04:54
Speaker
And made, I really wanted to do a story where I really addressed this situation because a lot of people don't realize this, but, um, 94% of women who are sexually assaulted are, is not, as it's either by a family member or someone that they know that they trust.
00:05:13
Speaker
And that is a very disappointing and embarrassing statistic. Um, You know, like, like, just look at the the guy who pled guilty to molesting his daughter and she committed suicide. This is very recent. He gets no prison time.
00:05:29
Speaker
Zero. live notta You just put that ah on line today. and i just seen the headline for it. Yes. Because, I mean, let's like, here we are in 2026. I feel like, you know, I think everybody understands how horrible murder is.
00:05:45
Speaker
But i really feel like murder, i feel I really feel like sexual assault or rape or whatever, I think that is the worst thing you can do someone. And and I hate to compare things like that. But what I mean is when you kill somebody, they're dead. It's over. It's a horrible thing.
00:06:02
Speaker
um But when you sexually assault someone and then you're just, then you're interrogated you're asked all these questions like, what was you wearing? um Did you want it or, you know, like, and then I feel like this is why so many women do not come forward about their abuse because they're humiliated in the process or be the person get very little to none, you know, no sentence.
00:06:28
Speaker
I mean, they still have rape kits in, you know, federal courts um that is still have not been like the break. It has not been tested and they've been sitting there since the 70s and people are getting cleared who have been in prison and didn't even do it. And wow it's I think it's really embarrassing that we encourage women not to get raped, but we don't raise men not to rape.
00:06:52
Speaker
Yeah. I will tell you this. My wife and i we have this whole thing about eye for an eye. That's how I feel about it. I feel that if you rape somebody, do you get raped? No, because maybe that would be something.
00:07:08
Speaker
And we lost Mark. Maybe that would be something that that person would want for them. So I don't know. you know what I mean? So do you take something that they need That's how I feel about it. like take it i think I think putting them in a room with the family members, I think that would be a great um great way to save the taxpayers' money.
00:07:30
Speaker
um i just I think we need to get to a point where we need to quit advocating and making excuses for people. I think we need to be more strict on crime. I think yeah i mean, look at the gentleman who stabbed that girl on the subway last year. He stabbed her several times. don Yeah, and he had over 34, I mean, he's been in out of jail, or prison, 34 times.
00:07:57
Speaker
And he's still walking amongst us. I mean, i just think we can do better. yeah i think we need to be afraid of, um you know, crime i just think like who are these judges who are giving these people very little to no jail time and they go out again and these people are harming you know innocent people i mean ah you know like i've raised my kids i'm like returning orders nothing but a piece of paper but if you know how to defend yourself that's a whole different thing uh certified jurors or the guy that killed the woman with a sledgehammer at work
00:08:33
Speaker
yeah i mean it's just again i think we need i mean clearly you cannot you no one's coming to save us we got you got to protect yourself and i just i and it's it's like nothing is being done i just feel like we live in an upside down world when i was younger it just seems like things were taking a lot more serious i mean i think rape has i think I think, you know, um people have always been stopped on rape. I don't see no, but I mean, I see very little to no time you see where people are really getting in trouble. Harvey Weinstein was one of them, and then he got his sentence reversed and it's. um
00:09:16
Speaker
You know, look at Jeffrey Epstein. That guy was under the radar for decades. I mean, decades. And he's, you know, it's really bizarre. People like this is amongst us. And, you know, nobody's talking about this. And, you know, like, how can we, I mean, how can you fix a problem and nobody wants or comfortable enough to talk
Indie Filmmaking Challenges
00:09:38
Speaker
about it? So Broken Innocence was movie that, you know,
00:09:42
Speaker
As a man, i have a daughter um and i have two I have two sons and i want my sons to be gentlemen. I want them to grow up to be men and lead by men. And I want to leave a better world for you know the younger generation because our generation, i don't think we have done any better than any generation before and hopefully they can change the future.
00:10:05
Speaker
Yeah. yeah up you got You got rain coming in? We had it earlier. We had it earlier. Don't let my dog hear it. He'll need a pill.
00:10:15
Speaker
Dude, my dog, I swear. you I'm like, oh, God. yeah that's it live like i have a 90-pound big, giant baby, dude. He's got to be more 90 pounds. He's 90 pounds.
00:10:30
Speaker
Yeah, she's sitting underneath my desk. Yes, she's fine. yes she she's fine I got a kitten running around here now. So thanks, Mark. I will say this. Ariana Harris, she did such a good job.
00:10:46
Speaker
playing Lily and i mean this was her first you know big role um and she I you know because ah I was very skeptical of hiring someone as young as she was she was 15 and I really wanted to hire somebody somebody that was 18 or older that could play younger But the auditions just was not strong. um And, you know, i was looking for a long time. um I was looking for about a good a year and a half. And, you know, it was a couple of people that I thought that was a good fit that I kept in as an option that didn't work out. And Ariana auditioned twice and she auditioned very strong. And I just was like, I had to talk to her mom. um And i I was like, you really think this is a good idea that your daughter, you think she's mentally mature emotionally? I'm like, because this can be, you know, this can be very heavy for a 15 year old.
00:11:42
Speaker
And um so when I had, I kind of did like a third party where she introduced her and I talked to her and I asked her some questions because I was like, this is a very heavy script.
00:11:53
Speaker
um of course the good thing was what this movie doesn't really focus on the sexual violence it focused more on a mental health aspect but the subject matter she's old enough to know what it's about um and she really did it did not seem to affect her at all she i mean she came in like she won some really big awards around the world i mean she was winning in you know the the uk she won in india she won The Actors and Directors Award in New York, which was all Emmy Award winning judges as as well as Oscar winning judges. So that was a really prestige um of festival and she won big there. And i mean
00:12:35
Speaker
I'm very proud because, I mean, the movie did really, I mean, it did really well in streaming. um You know, was going to ask you, how long did it take you? So you you said it took about a year, a year and a half to find the cast and that, to put this together. So how long prior to that did you write this?
00:12:55
Speaker
ah Well, i first I first got this de script early 2022. Okay. And i was literally, you know, looking for the perfect cast that really wanted to dedicate their time. I thought I had, I did have an actress before, um but she just wasn't really, um i didn't i don't feel like she was truly committed. Yeah.
00:13:20
Speaker
You know, and I'm a director. I really want to make sure whoever I give the role to really understands the importance of that role. I feel like a lot of indie talent are so quick to be on to the next set, and a lot of them don't promote. um And they they expect that all the go on the filmmaker and, you know, ah Hollywood, if you look at Hollywood standards, a lot of i mean, the actors are the brand, um you know, and, you know, with indie films, where it's already really hard to raise money as it is. yeah um
00:13:54
Speaker
You know, I really want somebody who really cares about the role that they take. And I feel like so many people, put it's like another notch on their belt. The one thing I would say about Ariana and her mom was they really was committed. They really helped promote the film. And we, for the first crowdfunding, because we we could not get anyone to produce this movie. Everybody kept passing on it because it was of the subject matter. so I did crowdfunding for the first time. And I'm glad that I did because it led me to the journey I own now where we are in four crowdfundings and each of our budget is just going up significantly.
00:14:30
Speaker
We'll talk about that. but We'll talk about that in a minute. But yeah, watching, you know, Paul Taylor as dad, it was- He was so fun. was so fun. freaked me out.
00:14:43
Speaker
I was like, i mean he gives you that chill, you know, that- Just the way he, you know, he's got those glasses on, he's got the goatee, and the way he acted, it was like, wow.
00:14:54
Speaker
Dude, he was so committed, because, mean, Paul never had a, i mean, he was clean shaved when we first talked, but he was like, I never got to have a beard in this movie. And I was like, well, I don't know if I see Frank with a beard, and he was like,
00:15:05
Speaker
He's like, well, I really saw him as a 70s guy who never quite left that decade, but he still thinks he's cool, but it doesn't really apply to today. And I was like, that wasn't my assessment. But, you know, now that you mention that, I like it.
00:15:21
Speaker
And. um he was another person that was very hard uh to really uh read for you know frank because i needed frank to be a person that was very um hard to watch somebody so his assessment was very spot on and that's some things i really love about collaborating with the actors and especially actors like him is they really bring some very unique ideals And it really worked. He really, i mean, bought his A-game with Frank. And I thought his dynamic with Ariana Harris, they I mean, they were so good. um i mean, he was creepy. Like, i mean, I get very unsettled. Like, it was his idea.
00:16:01
Speaker
I mean, because, you know, like, I mean, this was ah a really hard movie because, you know, i got a daughter and it was a scene that he came up with the ideal for. he was like, Chase, I have an ideal. You can say no.
00:16:12
Speaker
But he was like, I really think I really want to have her underwear in my desk. And I really and I was like, that's creepy.
00:16:23
Speaker
But go on. um And he was like, when she leaves, I just want to like smell it. And I was like, dude, that is so disgusting, but that is so effective. And it really worked because when we screened that movie at the premiere, I remember everybody's reaction when he did that and what that did with the movie. So I don't think I could have cast a better Lily as well as Paul T. Taylor. um I think they was the heart of the movie.
00:16:52
Speaker
Mark, show me the reaction. Show me the reaction face from the girls, because I know your girls watch this with you. No, they weren't home. and Oh, they did. No, I was watching it and then I sent him a message. I was like, OK, I'm watching, you know, I'm watching Broken Innocence or I just got done watching it and then I'm getting ready to watch the next one.
00:17:12
Speaker
And he goes, OK, he said, not everybody was a fan of the other the movie that we'll talk about next. But it's a slow burn. I'm like, OK. i was like i i know that you know this movie really hits um in the way that how her mental state you know like that just changed anybody that ever touches her and quite honestly she took it over to the next movie too if you touch her she gets pissed at least with the one guy
00:17:45
Speaker
Yeah, see you're talking about Blood in the Bleachers. Now, that that was the movie, After Broken Innocence, I was like, that was a very heavy movie. Quite frankly, it was a very stressful movie to make.
00:17:59
Speaker
Me and a, i won't name, but it was a particular actress that we did not get along. um We didn't see eye eye, we had no creative chemistry.
00:18:11
Speaker
And it made the shoot very tense because everybody
Filmmaking Journey and Inspirations
00:18:15
Speaker
knew that it it happened and I did my best to get the movie finished. And like, it was one of those things like everybody was on edge because they see the titian tension. And I don't like that because I like I like a very laid back fun set. I'll play music in between takes. I like to get to know people and stuff like that. And what that experience did teach me is the importance of making sure that I have really good creative chemistry with the actor that I'm collaborating with. Get to know the actor, know what that actor thinks would taste a good movie and see if that really match. That storm might've got them. Right.
00:18:52
Speaker
you You froze up for a second on my side. Oh, OK. Yeah. Oh, good. You're back. He's still good on my side. He feels good on your side? He froze up on my end. So it's either me or you. You scared the shit out of me because I've seen, guys he's like, I got him. I've looked back. you know you but right What? what, what? You know, that was the black in me. I was, ooh. And cut it.
00:19:24
Speaker
Oh, my God. That's funny as shit. Yeah, so, I mean, Blood of the Bleachers was the exact opposite. It was such a fun shoot. um Such a fun shoot. Like, everybody was having fun. Everybody was jamming to music.
00:19:39
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, this, you know, the atmosphere was so much more positive. I'd never done a slasher film before. And, you know, slasher is one the genres of films that made me fall in love with filmmaking. You know, I was born in 82. So, you know, we grew up in Nightmare on Elm Street. Big Freddy fan, you know, big Halloween fan. uh child's play was the movie that really um definitely was like oh my god yeah i love i don't i don't like i'm opposite so you guys like chase you're you're like i would yes i'm not a horror fan you know what that is that is blasphemy i would rather everything everything around me is horror related
00:20:28
Speaker
And minus the championship belts and a few other things. I just like to, i just wanted to bring that up. Yeah. I would rather be the guy behind the mask. Nice. That's, you know, let's go. but i' in I'm still trying to figure out how.
00:20:44
Speaker
The movie that really solidified me to be a filmmaker was um Scream. Scream was like. Frozen. my side I'm frozen. No, you're not.
00:20:56
Speaker
Just he is. Okay. See, that's what I'm saying. He froze. He froze earlier. He wasn't frozen. you money come money comment you Somebody comment in the comments. Chase, you're frozen. Am I? ah Okay, you're back.
00:21:09
Speaker
You're back. Okay. see aye I see you. All right. So you said, it where it cut off, you said the film that... with Scream.
00:21:21
Speaker
Why Scream?
00:21:24
Speaker
Why Scream? I don't know, man. Like, at the time when we've seen it, I've never seen the movie like it. The movie, you know, that was when cell phones really became, you know, popular.
00:21:37
Speaker
And just that that moment. um See, somebody said your internet is off. It must be. It must be. I've got the $1.99 special from Spectrum. But you remember this do you remember the line when he said, I want to know who I'm looking at?
00:21:53
Speaker
I mean, because, like, oh could you imagine being home by yourself? and I mean, like, it's already weird, you know, like, and especially at that age, you know i was, like, 13 when I seen that movie, and being alone, like, you hear stuff. Like, your mind plays trick with you.
00:22:07
Speaker
um And then the mask, I fell in love with the mask. So I've seen Scream in theaters probably, like, 16 times. I mean, like, Christmas Day, I went to go. Everybody's going to go see Christmas movies. I went to go watch Scream.
00:22:20
Speaker
I was so obsessed with that movie. And then, you know, that was also around when the school shooting started happening and then I had to the costume and dam it I was in and out of the, I was in and out of the principal's office constantly, um you know, because they thought that I was going to be something like that. And I was like, no, I just love horror movies.
00:22:40
Speaker
Just, I'm just trying to, i mean the thing I liked about the scream aspect of it all is, is there wasn't just one killer. and they hit off. Yeah. he playing side And then we go back then when you go back and watch it, you're like, okay, now this makes sense, this makes sense, and this makes sense. Oh, wow. yes Since you guys brought it up, you brought up Scream.
00:23:04
Speaker
Do you think? No. One, do you think that it was, you know, Scream won, yes. one are Two killers, fantastic.
00:23:15
Speaker
I think you should have left that alone. scream two do you think where we landed and as we continued into the franchise and all the way up to seven no one that we were knowing multiple killers hold on knowing what we know now um till then scream scream one and two were good scream three had to be redone like a few times because that was not the killer there was supposed to be more than one and was two and twelve
00:23:48
Speaker
Scream 2, the script leaked. Yeah, the script leaked with Scream 2. It was supposed to be the chick that played Cece. Or not Cece, but um the black chick. it was supposed to be the black chick in Mickey. But the script leaked, so Wes Craven went back and the he changed it and made it Billy's mom. I did not like the landing of Billy's mom. I think that was probably one of my least favorite movies.
00:24:11
Speaker
you know but scream three was originally going to be matthew lillard uh as the killer and they had to change it because of columbine which i don't understand why that had anything because he because he had uh kids in the high school that was going to be the ones killing he was basically the who cleaned all and they were going to do it that way scream and then you know some of the other ones the only one that i really did not like is the last one because they didn't give the killer is more time on screen.
00:24:43
Speaker
They didn't make you want, you know, they didn't have a whole lot of time. I didn't i realize who they were. My wife had to explain it to me. And I was like, you know what? you know um was not I was not happy. They should have kept the test audience out of this. And we would have got Matthew Lillard in the next one.
00:24:59
Speaker
I think the test, I think honestly, the reveal was the weakest part about the movie. am looking forward to I would, i'm looking forward to just new storylines in general i'm looking forward to anything that can top the scream franchise that can top the nightmare franchise that can you know i mean um yeah i truly think scream eight or scream seven would have been better if they would have went with the um i think the melissa berrera and jenna ortege
00:25:33
Speaker
I really think they might up with that that would have been more interesting to me. i think although I did like Scream 7 more than I was expecting, I was not excited about it because of the drama of the firing of Melissa Barrera. I really liked the Carpenter sisters. I wanted to know who their mother was.
00:25:52
Speaker
I wanted to know the conclusion to their story because I felt like it kind of it it could have been more like that. I mean, I liked Scream 7 more than I thought it was going. I was going to like it, but I was confused on why did the twins come like the guy chat or. Yeah, chatting. Yeah, like I felt like they had no reason to be there. None. They never even hinted that they have interests of working for Gail. That was just such a weird, odd choice.
00:26:19
Speaker
But the one thing I liked about the, you know, screen five and six although screen five was myy's favorite screen Scream Scream 6 was my second favorite Scream. And I liked it because I liked I felt that Sidney's story arc, I felt like Scream. I felt like that was really, truly what Scream 4 would have been. um i just I just felt like we waited 30 years to then talk about what Tatum was to her. And then all of these sequels, like we never talked about Tatum. It was so weird. i don't it just Yeah, we waited 30 years to talk about it.
00:26:54
Speaker
Yeah, 30 years. That's crazy. There's just certain things about Scream 7 I didn't care for. i mean, they also made it where it was. I think they lacked.
00:27:06
Speaker
ae The killers lacked motive. listen I would agree. I did enjoy the kills. The kills were great. i you know That's one thing I will say with the movie.
00:27:19
Speaker
It was better than I was expecting it, but I just feel like what else can you do with Sidney? That is true. um right That's just where I'm at. and Another thing that pissed me off.
00:27:33
Speaker
How do you not bring back Patrick Dempsey? a Money. That's all it came down to. He's not. i follow I found that out the other day. Yeah. Oh, okay. let' say Dude, he just did Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure they couldn't pay them more than that. Yeah. Well, they, it was all about the newest money and I think availability.
00:27:53
Speaker
That's why they did that. So how about, how about this? Let's take a break. And why is this only a, I thought the song was longer than that. Any which way we'll take a
Technical Difficulties and Lighthearted Moments
00:28:04
Speaker
break. All kinds of stuff up here.
00:28:06
Speaker
Yes. Today I did. i don't know why, but we're going to listen to the, going listen to who, Chase? My wife, Samantha Christina, who is finally getting back into music. what what I've been telling her for years, and she goes, no, listen to me.
00:28:20
Speaker
He's frozen. You're frozen again. Oh, you're frozen, Brian. Is it me? Yes. It's not him. It's not me. It's not the token blocker. So what we're going to do is we're going to play this song, and then when we come back, we're going to play Florida or Not Florida.
00:28:38
Speaker
And we'll bring in the special guest who's going to play against him. So ocu give us about a minute 30. That's all that it gave me. All right.
00:28:49
Speaker
Oh,
00:29:11
Speaker
I never knew the story right
00:29:30
Speaker
But yeah, you all had me so wishing that you knew me now. The chance is not long gone. Had a chance to make it right. But yeah, you turned to the alcohol.
00:29:43
Speaker
One day I'll sacrifice. Or maybe it'll go away. All built in one place. Hoping it'll find its way.
00:29:54

ah Ladies and gentlemen, we're back talking with Chase Dudley. Holy crap.
Chase's Transition to Directing
00:31:49
Speaker
What happened to me? Jesus. This is what happens when we're- Chase, are you frozen? No, he's not frozen. He's frozen on my side. Oh, he's not frozen. That's because you suck.
00:31:59
Speaker
I don't know what is happening with my internet. You're good, Chase. You're moving now. He's not even a token blind guy, man. Ladies and gentlemen, we're back talking with Chase Dudley.
00:32:11
Speaker
um Jason, you ever done any acting yourself? I have, actually. um I... Like, I've been asked to do acting... um But I'm more of a director. like um I did act in my first couple of movies, but then you know i um it kind of came to a point where I kind of had to really choose, am I an actor or am director? Acting was really my first passion. Acting was what I really wanted to be when I first got into films. um
00:32:45
Speaker
But you know the more um the budget started to grow and I really needed to I really needed to decide because, you know, um somebody said, no one is frozen here.
00:32:59
Speaker
Thank you. um But once it kind of got to a point, i was just like, man, I really got to decide what I am, because if I'm acting in a lot of the scenes, um I can't be directing and acting at the same time.
00:33:15
Speaker
Yeah, do both. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Yeah, and so I chose directing, and I think that was the right choice because my budgets have grown. i feel like i'm I'm definitely watching people and directing and giving feedback like a director's supposed to.
00:33:32
Speaker
You know, I can't direct myself. um I just felt like a lot of that was really – where did he go? Don't worry about him. my Okay.
00:33:44
Speaker
I don't know. Can you see me? Can you hear me? they're frozen i'm honor okay They're frozen. Let's bring in the guest that's going to play against him because he's sitting in the, he's walking around. I can see him walking around. So he's getting impatient.

00:44:16
Speaker
Congratulations. Thank you. Squeaked it out by the tiebreaker. All right. um All right, Chase. tell us a little bit more about um you've got other films out there. Let's talk a little. Let's talk touch a little bit about every single one.
00:44:30
Speaker
First film ever made. Do you remember it? made Yes. um A terrible film called Last Breath. Terrible. Why is it terrible? Because I didn't know what I was doing. but That's a matter of opinion.
Early Filmmaking Experiences
00:44:42
Speaker
That's not for you to decide. It's for the viewers to decide.
00:44:45
Speaker
well Hey, morning Brian, you know that we do have a ah trailer ah for one of his movies, too, and it actually works. Oh, are you sure? Yeah, I tested this one. Okay.
00:44:57
Speaker
i don't know why didn't test it well let's let's i want to know why he thinks that this movie was not oh i'm just being honest i mean you know that wasn't much of a writer uh it was shot on a you know a camcorder it wasn't really properly edited it it it was a bad movie but what i learned um because you know i went to the i was the first film festival i went to fright night uh 2008 and i actually met some really talented filmmakers uh jacob ennis and gregory brock and they had their movie stash And that movie was great. um
00:45:29
Speaker
And it really motivated me to get on that path. um So I say that with respect, um you know i'm I'm pretty self-aware something doesn't land. There's a couple of the movies I feel that doesn't land. um And it's movies that I feel worked really well. um My most disappointing film was Locked In. The sound, I felt, could have been much better.
00:45:54
Speaker
um It was my fifth fifth feature film, um and it was one of my worst sounds um with the movie. So it really um you know it really made me realize how important it is to put money into behind the scenes instead of worrying about getting ah a celebrity or a big actor or really put the money into your sound. Navy guy kind of thing.
00:46:22
Speaker
Yeah. So you're not the AV guy then? You don't you don't come up with it and go, i I want this kind of sound, so this is what I'm going to do, right? Correct. You have an AV guy. That guy is supposed to tell you, like, hey, I got a lot of feedback or there's too much. That kind of stuff. Yeah, because when when I had the headset unlocked in, i looked at the guy and I'm like, we get there. He's like, oh, we're good. Oh, no, bro. We're not good. Yeah.
00:46:48
Speaker
so he yeah know So was this AV guy that you that you had a problem with, obviously? No, the thing was, is this was somebody that I worked with before, and you know i didn't think he did, he wasn't strong with my DP, because he was my DP for... um um Marvelous Mandy and you know um i was like okay I ah i think i see some potential there so I end up hiring another dp and then you know he was like I have really good experience with with sound ah because he also does musicians so i was like okay well you know we'll try that and you know one thing is very important is to make sure you know um it taught me to really make sure to do my diligence of who I bring in, who I hire, um and make sure that they're motivated and they work hard and make sure that I'm never a victim of somebody's laziness ever again. um
00:47:50
Speaker
That's what that experience taught me. So I can't, um'm I'm no longer bitter about it because now, like everybody I hire for sound, it's so much, so much more sharp. um Yeah.
00:48:01
Speaker
Because again, I don't want- You learn from your mistakes, right? You yeah oh yeah made a mistake, I learned from it, and we move on from here. 100% and that's pretty much what filmmaking is. Yeah. Gotcha.
00:48:15
Speaker
Miss Amanda said her first movie from you was Payday. That was my first film that was successful. That was i mean that was the film that really i think showed um and investors and stuff like that that you know I can tell a story. i was i mean Still to this day, movie is almost a 10-year-old movie.
00:48:37
Speaker
But the story was really good. love the sound. um I love the cinematography. My two films after that was kind of a bit of a letdown. Beast of the Field wasn't really our fault because we shot in the middle of um the the like the woods and we got hit by Hurricane Florence. So we were dealing with a lot of rain. We were less lucky to make the movie, but we we really missed out on a lot of opportunities to capture the shots and stuff like that. And we only had about 15, 20,000 to shoot that movie. So we couldn't really delay. We couldn't ask for more money. That was a check that somebody wrote us, and we had to go out there and do our very best. um
00:49:21
Speaker
You know, with Locked In, we had a little bit more money. And then I really wish I would have made a better decision of the sound.
00:49:31
Speaker
Now, Brian, I can tell you this, when he crowd funds, people back him really quick. they They believe in what he does because, yeah what what was it last week? No, the weekend and before, before I left for Michigan, um I had, a you were doing a crowdfunding, or it might've been three weeks ago, somewhere around there. And I went inside, he he was doing great. You can see the numbers going. and And I went inside the comic book store. I wasn't even in there, and not even an hour.
00:50:05
Speaker
And I come back out, he hit his goal, plus he hit more on top of it. Yeah, we raised the house 50 grand that first day. what that was within a few hours really that he what do you what do you got coming up what what's that money crowd for a widow's oath man um i'm very pumped about this film because um this is a period piece and it was inspired by braveheart the patriot with you know mel gibson um it also has a little um little bit of uh Xena Warrior Princess and we have Elizabeth
Upcoming Projects and Innovations in Filmmaking
00:50:39
Speaker
Chamberlain. um You know, she's a fantastic actress and she also does her own stunts. She's going to be wielding a sword and we have Noel G from Fast and the Furious Training Day.
00:50:49
Speaker
We have Cesar Garcia from Fast and the Furious and we have Nicole Vegas. um And I mean, it's ah such a great script by Sean Burkett. And I've always wanted to do a film that took place in like a particular time. And we we just talked to the wardrobe department today.
00:51:08
Speaker
And, you know, Elizabeth and I was kind of going over our deals and he's going to make all of that from scratch. And I'm just so excited about this movie because, I mean, there's so many people that is really... helping this movie get involved. And this is going to be a very ambitious attempt. I don't like to do things. I don't i don't like to make movies that are very easy to make. um I always really try to really challenge myself to make the impossible because when I grew up,
00:51:35
Speaker
and you know and the the 80s and the ninety s i mean if you look at jurassic park terminator 2 the matrix all those films that really was i mean look at the abyss um you know oh yeah ah movies i mean the predator i mean those movies that like really i mean if um You know, they told Steven Spielberg that Jurassic Park would never be able to be made on the way that he would done it. And he didn't take no for an answer. He went and found a group of people who could make that happen. yeah
00:52:07
Speaker
I like really doing the impossible and going and looking back and going, how in the world did we do that? um That to me is what filmmaking is supposed to be. Filmmaking is supposed to be about risk and challenges and adversity of overcoming that. And I feel...
00:52:23
Speaker
Movies today have lost that. i feel like movies today are really so like the factory assembly line of just, you know, it's just, hey, let's make it a very safe movie. Yeah, just make a very safe $200 million dollars budget movie. Yeah. Let me ask you this. How do you feel about AI in films?
00:52:44
Speaker
How do you feel about using AI tools? I mean, i think people are always afraid of something new. I mean, look at when CGI first came. um people treated CGI the same way as they're doing with AI.
00:53:01
Speaker
i feel like if you use it as a tool, i don't see what the issue is. If you use it as a crutch, it like where you see with some of the movies with green screen instead of practical, I feel like if you use it like James Cameron uses it like he did with CGI, where he advances it, but he also know how to tell a story outside of that,
00:53:23
Speaker
um I don't really have an issue with it. um You know, i think people are kind of people always shit on something that's new, no matter how good or how bad it is. It's just thats just the way of the world.
00:53:38
Speaker
But I tell you this, um you better find a way to adapt with it because it's here to stay and it's not going anywhere. um The Pandora box is open and you can either learn to work with it or be left behind. and I look at the Blockbuster. Blockbuster had an opportunity to take over Netflix. They chose not to.
00:54:02
Speaker
What happened? If you cannot, if you're not willing to grow or you're not willing to change, you cannot be successful. Yeah. Yeah. That's everything that you do too. I mean, I went from being a ah peon salesman and now I'm a general manager.
00:54:19
Speaker
So it's, yeah, I mean, a hundred, a chance to say, you know what, I'll just do it. I'll just, I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but I'm going to do it anyway. I mean, this is it the world that we live in is a sink or swim world.
00:54:31
Speaker
I mean, the world has always changed. I mean, look at like the factories, like in the 2000s, they didn't have computers and technology and stuff like that. Like, I think we take so many things very convenient that we, you know, a lot of people 40 years ago didn't have like we have GPS and it still takes an hour and a half for someone to deliver my pizza. But back in the 90s, they wrote this direction. looking out yeah you look You look it up on a map on the wall before you look at the laptop. They're sitting there driving and they're looking at their hand made, you know, and they found it, you know. so Yeah.
00:55:04
Speaker
I mean, like, look, like when we were in school, we had calculators. My parents, when they were in school, they didn't have none of that. So the world is constantly always changing.
00:55:15
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I agree. You got to stay caught up with the times. Do you think that you would utilize AI in any of your upcoming films? I'm never going to say never because the reality is i don't know what five years is going to bring from now.
00:55:31
Speaker
I mean, there's so many tools that it offers to now. Right. So it offers like script writing, which I don't know that I would i don't see with script writing. I'm going to go ahead and say no, because I agree with Steven Spielberg when he says that I don't want to give AI my point of view.
00:55:47
Speaker
ah I think having the point of view of your work is very crucial. um But as far as using it in a movie, I don't see what AI will be different from CGI other than the fact that I guess the computer's doing it and you're not paying somebody else to make it. It can actually score a film now.
00:56:05
Speaker
Did you know that? Yes, I do. um I, again, I'm never going to say never, but I can say highly unlikely. But again, i don't know what five years is going to bring. um And in in so I can't say no. um But i don't i do hope that filmmaking stays for the most part but a collaboration between humans.
00:56:30
Speaker
Yeah. We use it as a tool, not as a crutch, because we we don't want to deal with the difficulty and the adversity of what filmmaking brings. I'd much rather collaborate with a human being than an AI. I agree. you know Some AI tools, I think, you know like if you've got a question, instead of running to Google anymore, i kind of run to AI.
00:56:52
Speaker
And I go, hey, where can I find the answer to this? Or where can I find this particular thing? You know what I mean? like How can I do it? i've never i think never i think would be I've never used it once. I've never.
00:57:04
Speaker
you lions have not used I have not used it once yet. um i Again, but I don't know what five years will bring to where, you know what i mean? Like, I don't know the future to um say, but the era that I grew up in,
00:57:21
Speaker
I'm really I prefer practical filmmaking like I had offers to shooting studios. I rather go out and shoot at the real place. um I don't like relying on technology. I like practical films. I'm pretty a grounded filmmaker, ah you know. um But again, i can't sit there and say 10 years from now, something might change. I have no idea. I really hope we don't get to that point where like AI becomes more popular than filmmaking itself. Because I think since we are flawed, I think that's the heart of what movies is, is this more relatability. I don't see how AI would be able to articulate or tell a story from a human perspective when it's not designed to be to be imperfect.
00:58:05
Speaker
I agree with you. Yep. um So what is coming up in the pipeline besides this new film that you've got? I know you've got a idea.
00:58:17
Speaker
Yeah, no, we got two projects in post-production. We got The Desperate, which is coming out later this year, and premiering it in September. We have Noel Gee, we have Leonard Peterson, the third. We have Kansas Boland. We have Varel Garlock. We have Leonore Scalfo from the original Scream. I worked with her also in Blood and the Bleachers. um We have so many amazing people in The Desperate. And that is a film that is bonkers. Like it is a film that the cartel and organ harvesting and
00:58:51
Speaker
It's kind of like a little bit like Uncut Gems, Breaking Bad and Ozark wrapped and wrapped in one where i like that financial restraint and being being in debt and what that would do to a person to make bad decisions to try to get out of debt. You see it happen all the time. And I think what the majority of Americans that I mean, not even just Americans, but majority of the people around the world that are just I mean,
00:59:17
Speaker
minimum wage haven't increased in nearly 20 years. um Everything is high. Everything is going up but people's wages. And a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck. And this movie really focuses on what the average person struggles with. And what I like about this is that, you know, Morty decides to donate his kidney and it comes back and he's like, he he has kidney stones and now he owes,
00:59:42
Speaker
um now he has to come up with either a kidney or a hundred grand to cover the the labor and expenses of that and so this is a movie that like kind of has you on the edge of your seat because you're like going up with the money they're going to come up with a kidney what they're to do and it's just like they keep making these terrible mistakes and i i think that's the appeal for this movie it's not anything like i've ever done or really seen before okay um Your genre that you focus more, do you have a specific genre that you that you lean towards creating?
Genre Preferences and Film Reactions
01:00:16
Speaker
um I would say, I guess, if any genre that kind of really seems to be very popular that I do, because I try to do a little bit of everything. I've done slashers. I've done crime dramas. But I noticed thrillers seem to be, I think thrillers are my favorite genre because you can kind of blend a little horror elements.
01:00:36
Speaker
But thrillers also has a really good dramatic storyline. You know, like horror movies. I love horror movies, but like, let's look at Final Destination. Somebody would die in a horrible accident within two minutes left. The audience members is cracking jokes and laughing as if this person just wasn't decapitated by.
01:00:55
Speaker
i like thrillers because thrillers like the movie Seven, um you know, Gone Girl, The Hands, The Rock, The Cradle. I just feel like thrillers have a perfect blend of real life horror elements and I directed more than not thrillers than any other genre, because I just feel like there's so much more you can do.
01:01:16
Speaker
No dark comedies. I have not yet. I feel like if any movie I did that was close to a comedy was Beast at the Field, and that wasn't purposely done. ah Beast in the Field kind of turned into a kind of a dark comedy because it kind of was a spoof a little bit of indie filmmaking um and the personalities that come with indie filmmaking because it was these people that go out into the woods and they were trying to find this mythical creature, the Thunderbird, and then just dealing with the ah drama that indie filmmakers like it's always that one person who thinks there's a star and they're they're making everything great and then just uh so that kind of became ah a parody within itself um and it was more it was people that were laughing at it more than they were like kind of um and you know like fearing the movie so it kind of turned into a comedy and it wasn't intended but it worked okay
01:02:09
Speaker
We'll have to check that one out then. it was my I think Locked In and then Beasts of the Fills are my two worst movies, but Broken Innocence, The Desperate, or The Desperate, once it comes out later this year, is my best work. And I just finished Between the Living and the Dead. um That was my 10th feature film, and that is a post-apocalyptic film that deals with a massive food shortage.
Showcasing 'Between the Living and the Dead' Trailer
01:02:34
Speaker
Isn't that the trailer? Yeah. time That's the trailer that we got, isn't it? Yeah, that, I mean, that that movie is going to be bonkers. Like, that's going to be by far my best work. I mean, that was such a fun shoot. I mean, just knowing what people would do without food or resources and just the civilizations that would would emerge with no law and order.
01:02:57
