In this episode, I am joined by writer, producer and actor Jonathon M. Smith - who originally connected with me through my filmmaking community (The Backlot).
Not long after joining the community, Jonathon went on to make his debut feature film
Broken City, lock in distribution, and launch an impressive film marketing event in his hometown. Throughout the interview, Jonathon sheds light on his philosophy on filmmaking, the challenges of fundraising, and his decision to shoot a low-budget film in a single location.
He also speaks to the importance of mental toughness, how his background in sports impacted his disciplined approach to filmmaking, and much more.
