Acclaimed Film Producer Miranda Bailey On Producing "Don't Think Twice".

Miranda Bailey is a prolific film producer, actress and director. Currently, she's got two wonderful films in theaters, "Swiss Army Man" and "Don't Think Twice", the latter opening wide this weekend. Go see it. It stars Keegan Michael Key, Gillian Jacobs, Tami Sagher, Chris Gethard, Kate Micucci and the film's writer/director Mike Birbiglia. It's funny, sad, heartfelt and the best look at the world of improvisational comedy ever. Lees meer

Miranda has her own production company, Cold Iron Pictures, and started a distribution company, Film Arcade. Click the words. She's the real deal.

The last half of our chat reveals that I am indeed an old fashioned sexist. Eye opening, as we delve into the topic of gender inequality. Truthfully, I wanted to leave that alone and just talk to Miranda as a producer, but felt it was needed so we explore and shed a little light. The trailer is at my website.

My Little Film Is All Grown Up, "I Am Road Comic" On Netflix.

2 mei 2016 · 2 min

Afspelen

What makes "I Am Road Comic" getting on Netflix so sweet,
is that it represents a victory in micro-budget indie filmmaking.
Keeping a tourniquet on spending, crafting a story with
notable comics and a podcast-based PR campaign, it's finally paid
off. Lees meer

This is my 5th film to land on Netflix. It all started with "I
Am Comic", but Netflix was just starting out and Showtime had
debuted the star-studded docu. Then "Waking Up In Reno" and "The
Third Wheel" were added. But those films were Disney-owned Miramax
garage sales no doubt. Maria Bamford's "Special Special Special" is
awesome, and it's still up, and that's all Maria. So with "I Am
Road Comic", I have 4 films streaming. I'm the most prolific
filmmaker no one's ever heard of.

Editor Rob Watzke has cut many of your favorite tv spots over the years, but on nights and weekends, he teaches improvisation. We saw his show the night Helen Hunt played along with Rob and his troupe. The 100% riffed show was amazing. Back in the editing bay, Rob deftly cuts on any tool invented, and works with his agency clients to bring out the best in the footage. Lees meer

We chat improvisation, editing and discuss the birth of the Frankensteinization of multiple versions of edits in one cut. Is it really better? You'll enjoy this episode. Admittedly, I babbled too much.

How To Book National Commercials With Comedian/Actor Wayne Federman.

Comedian/Actor/Writer Wayne Federman is my favorite comic, and he's just put out his debut comedy album, The Chronicles of Federman. A box set of three CDs (also available digitally) that spans his 30 plus years of unique, killer stand-up. Judd Apatow, who writes the liner notes, says "Epic, hilarious, inspired and whimsical." And Mr. Apatow goes on and on. Oh, and I must reveal, Wayne is also my best pal. Lees meer

Wayne has acted in dozens of national commercials, with a proportionate amount of them being odd costumed characters. Regardless, Wayne shares his secrets on how he approaches his auditions and gets booked time and time again. We also chat about how he constructed and edited "Chronicles" himself, so plenty of tech talk here.

Click here to check out his Geico spot playing poker with Kenny Rogers. I've posted a Toyota spot we did together at jordanbrady.com and you can see tons of Federman in "I Am Road Comic". Be sure to catch him on late night TV real soon. Ya' know he was the head writer for Jimmy Fallon, so figure it out.

Josh Forbes is a funny commercial director, whimsical music video director and helmer of the horror hit "Contracted: Phase II". We chat about the differences among his many disciplines of filmmaking. He also tells the tale of being nominated for Best Rock Video Of The Year for "Shut Up And Dance" by Walk The Moon at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Yet oddly, the filmmaker was not invited to the VMA's, and was forced to buy a ticket. Apparently, Viacom is strapped for cash. Lees meer
