Filmmakers Paul Gandersman and Peter S. Hall (MAN FINDS TAPE) join Adam and Joe to discuss their career journey together and the making of their debut feature MAN FINDS TAPE (available in select theaters and on VOD now). From first meeting and becoming friends attending screenings and festivals in Austin, TX… to making short films together for several years… to writing their debut feature MAN FINDS TAPE in a way where they felt they could potentially just make it on their own if they couldn't find a production company willing to take it on… to handing off their screenplay to producer Dave Lawson (Rustic Films) who in turn brought on producers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (SOMETHING IN THE DIRT, THE ENDLESS, LOKI, DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN) and took the duo under their wings… to what they learned from the writing process once they were actually shooting their script… to how they put together such a terrific cast by not having tunnel vision on a "type" they envisioned for each character during the writing process… to how they adjusted their shooting strategy and pivoted whenever a hurdle interfered with their pre-production plans, Paul and Peter are a terrific example of why working with friends is the best way to work.
Also, Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a listener that's interested in the process behind creating memorable movie maniacs and a surprise guest crashes the final minutes of the conversation!
