The Filmmakers Podcast Making an Micro Budget, Award Wining indie film 'Signs of Life' with minimal crew: Director & writer Joseph Millson
This week we dive deep into indie filmmaking with Joseph Millson and his debut movie as director Signs of Life.
Giles Alderson, Dom Lenoir and Phil Hawkins talk to Joseph about writing his script, awards, directing, inspiration, financing his movie, getting the right people involved, why it worked for him, setting a date, what got him his 20 cinema screening run and distribution deal and what drove him to direct and they have a right laugh as well.
Joseph has acted in films including: The Amateur, River of Blood, Hard Home, War Blade, Fyre Rises, Christmas at Plumhill Manor, Dragonheart: Vengeance, Angel Has Fallen, All the Devil's Men, Tango One, I Give It a Year, Casino Royale and our very own Phil Hawkins' movie Prancer: A Christmas Tale.
