Movie Meltdown - Episode 631
This episode we sit down with Max Neace, a writer, director and producer originally from our neighborhood. So listen as we find out how he took his interest in film from shooting YouTube videos to getting his own feature films made. Plus we discuss the conception and challenging execution that is his most recent movie - Shift.
And while our guest may wish he was conversing with a chair, regardless we still discuss… comic strips, self-storage facilities, horror, outlining, Connor McGill, we are losing our minds, self-distribution, writing, Alfred Hitchcock, changing the frame rate, physical media, Garfield, eight sequence breakdown, shooting with no budget, Rio Bravo, embracing limitations, festival circuit, Longlegs, continuity, Twister, a lot of monitor footage, the first watchable cut of the movie, Don’t Tell a Soul, acquiring music, moving to L.A., audience imagination, editing, Watchmen, our voyeuristic culture, finding mentors, storytelling and Rear Window.
“There was a method to the madness. And it was really gratifying to get to that point because it was complicated.”
