Franchise Filmmaking with Allison Lobel, Diane Foster and Kelly Grant
Episode 177 was recorded February 27, 2024.  Do you think of treats on Easter, or is that just a Halloween thing? It’s Women’s History Month, and we’re celebrating women filmmakers with a special treat. Our guest, Allison Lobel brings Diane Foster and Kelly Grant to the show. We talk about mobile filmmaking and the making of their new franchise feature horror comedy “Easter Bloody Easter,” a new film by WallyBird Productions, which was not shot with a phone, distributed by Gravitas. We had an inspiring discussion on how mobile filmmakers can create a franchise with a mobile film. Allison Lobel was the protagonist in “Paralysis,” by Levi Austin Morris. It won Best Feature last year at the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego. “Easter Bloody Easter” is Diane Foster’s directorial debut, which stars Allison, Diane and Kelly.

I refer to Filmic Pro, Moondog Labs, and have you heard of Smart Phocus?  It’s important for mobile filmmakers to feel supported and embraced. Confidence is important in filmmaking but it’s even more important for someone making movies with smartphones, even today when it has more approval than back when we started out.  Guess what? You have the support. It’s not just me. It’s an opportunity when you come to the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego.

High Quality Short Filmmaking with Ryan Camp
Dec 19 2023
High Quality Short Filmmaking with Ryan Camp
Ryan Camp Films has a notable vast library of video tutorials online. When you search how to’s for audio, mics, videos and filmmaking, his videos usually come up on the first page. There’s a good reason for that, he’s really good at explaining things so the non-experts understand. That’s because expert’s are not the ones who search for help and Ryan knows that. Join a gripping, fun and inspiring conversation with myself and Ryan discussing what you can do to make better short films, and perhaps better feature films, too. Ryan uses Adobe Premier for editing and shares some tips for the post production process.  In Episode 169 recorded December 8, Ryan and I discuss two of his short films. 2AM was shot with iPhone and was part of the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego. Trophies was shot with a DSLR. Ryan shoots and stars in both films.  SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking: The Voice of Mobile Film™ is for everyone who ever wanted to or is curious about making movies and videos using smartphones.  Do you enjoy our free podcast?

You’re doing okay.” Ant Pruitt Ant has been on our judges panel for several years and has agreed to do it again for our 2024 edition of the film festival.
