The people that filmmaker Ant Roberson inspires are legion: athletes looking to enter filmmaking; film school students heading to Cannes; actors inspired by meaty roles; filmmakers looking to make their feature breakthrough, and so many others.
Add me to the list because I have zero doubt he'll be taking a film here to competition very shortly.
In this episode, Ant and I discuss:
- what it's like having his film premiere at the Emerging Filmmaker Student Showcase at the Cannes Film Festival;
- what does he want people to know about his film;
- how he got his start in filmmaking;
- why there should be more athletes should get into filmmaking;
- the fascinating way he introduced the story and what it says about the horror genre;
- what crowdfunding was like for this film and how he followed his father's advice (which is universally great);
- why having a finished product is so important at the Cannes Film Festival and how he decided to balance his time;
- how he plans on beating a indie film system destined to make life difficult on filmmakers';
- how to follow along on his journey.
