  We're Making A Movie: We Watched Our First Edit

  Aug 19, 202656 minS1

  We just watched our movie! For the very first time! This weekend we had the privilege of watching Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think from beginning to end and we want to share what it was like to see our very first feature film coming together. It’s still in the editing process. There are still things to tweak, shape, polish, and build as we continue through post-production. But finally getting to see all the work our team has poured into this film was pretty damn special. And it’s been a fascinating learning experience for us. We’ve made a lot of short films together, but watching a feature take shape is an entirely different beast. There’s so much more story to track, so many pieces to balance, and so much that continues to evolve once you get into the edit. There’s still a lot of work ahead. Editing, sound, score, color, VFX—the movie isn’t finished yet. But holy crap, you guys. We have a movie. And it’s getting closer and closer to the day when we finally get to share it with all of you.

  We're Making A Movie: Filmmaker Chat with the Plummer Brothers

  Aug 12, 20261h 9mS1

  Howdy Filmmakers! This week, we’re sitting down with The Plummer Brothers, Carlos and Kyle Plummer, to talk about co-directing their feature film The Strawberry, starring Mike Farrell and Doug Jones. And we’ve got about a million questions. How did they take the project from script to screen? What does co-directing a feature actually look like? How did they build their team, navigate production, and bring their vision to life? What was the timeline, and are you ever really done with a movie!? We can’t wait to dig into the entire filmmaking journey with Carlos and Kyle and learn what they discovered along the way. Another conversation for anyone out there thinking, “Okay, but how do I actually make a feature film?” The Plummer Brothers Based in Cambria, CA, “The Plummer Brothers” are a filmmaking duo who specialize in narrative and commercial filmmaking. Hailing from the Central Coast, and graduating from Utah Tech University, the Plummer Brothers founded SuperImage, Ltd. - a post production company that offers full service editing, color, sound, and delivery for short and feature films. The Plummer Brothers are heavily involved in the Central Coast Filmmaking community, working with nonprofit organizations such as the Central Coast Film Society, San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, and Cambria Film Festival.

  We're Making A Movie: Filmmaker Chat with Rachel Israel

  Aug 5, 202654 minS1

  We're thrilled to continue our Filmmaker Chats with writer and director Rachel Israel, whose latest feature, The Floaters, is now out in the world. Rachel is no stranger to the feature filmmaking journey. With three features under her belt, she's experienced every stage of the process. We're excited to dive into the lessons she's learned along the way, how her perspective has evolved from one feature to the next, and what it really feels like to send your work out into the world. Whether you're dreaming of directing your first feature or you're already deep in the process, this conversation is full of insight from a filmmaker who's been there. Rachel Israel is a New York-based writer and director. Her feature debut, KEEP THE CHANGE, world-premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, where it won Best U.S. Narrative Feature and Best New Narrative Feature Director. It also won Best Debut Film and the FIPRESCI Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. KEEP THE CHANGE opened in theaters internationally in 2018 as a NY Times Critic’s Pick, which described it as “a landmark motion picture” that “deserves to be widely seen" and was critically acclaimed for being a fresh take on the romantic comedy, and an authentic and nuanced portrayal of characters on the autism spectrum. Rachel’s work has received grants and support from The Sundance Institute, the Rooftop Film Festival, and the Princess Grace Foundation. She has taught filmmaking at Columbia University’s Graduate School of the Arts and Rhode Island School of Design. Rachel is currently in post-production on her 3rd feature, INFLUENCED, starring Jill Kargman (ODD MOM OUT), David Krumholtz, Justin Bartha, which was filmed in New York City. She is represented by Verve Talent & Literary Agency.
