Today I am thrilled to have writer/director/photographer Carter Smith back on the show to talk about his latest micro-budget feature film
Swallowed.Carter’s first short film (
Bugcrush) won Sundance in 2006, and led to his feature film work which includes
The Ruins, Jaime Marks is Dead, and multiple recent Blumhouse movies. His latest feature though, is a departure from larger studio productions to say the least. It was produced with a skeleton crew using very DIY tactics, yet managed to find incredible success at festivals and beyond.
Throughout the interview, Carter and I discuss his experience in the micro-budget realm, his approach to creativity, and much more.
