Making A Critically Acclaimed $30,000 Feature Film With Director Tom Levesque

In this episode I am joined by filmmaker Tom Levesque to share the story behind his debut feature film Shut Eye.

Shut Eye is the first feature film that delves into the strange world of ASMR, and is inspired by Tom’s own experiences with insomnia. Throughout the episode, we take an in depth behind the scenes look at this project, from concept to budgeting to distribution.

Tom speaks to his documentary-style approach on this feature, which helped him complete principal photography in just 15 days. He also touches on his camera setup, aspect ratio choice, post-production workflow and more.
