EP119 | Connecting With Actors (Guest Clara Rugaard)
You've heard the term "Now, more than ever..." enough times by now to make you sick. Well, now's our time to use it because now, more than ever, it is imperative to focus on creating and maintaining relationships as creatives. When you're on set as a Director, and you and your actors are locked in on the same vision and idea of the scene: that's where the magic happens. Director Mike Pecci spends this episode making that connection with our guest actor, Clara Rugaard. Clara starred in the amazing Netflix film I Am Mother, so don't forget to check it out, and remember that a big part of acting and directing is connecting with humans so we can bring our characters to life.Follow Clara Rugaard on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/clararugaard/?hl=enCheck out I Am Mother on Netflix:https://www.netflix.com/watch/80227090?source=35Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessGrab a T-Shirt from movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by Code Elektro:www.codeelektro.com/And Joos10:https://soundcloud.com/jdog19971/sets/rewire-2The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP117 | Making Your Films Back East (Guests Dustin Devlin & Jack Lemay)
The question of whether you need to move to LA to make films has been discussed on this show more times than we can count. Host Mike Pecci has repeatedly promoted making films in your hometown. But making films in Boston may seem like skiing in the Adirondacks. They're fine, but you can't really get the same kind of experience as you would going west. Directors Dustin Devlin and Jack Lemay showed that not only can you make a film in Boston worth bragging about, but that it can focus on skiing in the Adirondacks. Mike, Jack, and Dustin discuss the benefits of indie filmmaking, the excitement of action sports filmmaking, and why people might actually like winters in the northeast.Watch Made Back East:https://vimeo.com/483936826Check out the website for Made Back East:https://www.madebackeast.com/Check out VAGRANTS:https://www.vagrants.com/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessGrab a T-Shirt from https://movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by Code Elektro:www.codeelektro.com/Say hi to our friends over at Film Riot: www.filmriot.com/The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP116 | Keep The Ego. Keep It Small. (Guest Norman Buckley)
Our Associate Producer, Liam, remembers growing up and binge watching one of my favorite shows: Gossip Girl. A little later, he switched to watching another classic: Pretty Little Liars. Now, he and his roommates are obsessed with Dynasty. These shows all had some things in common: fashion, drama, and most of all EGO. Director Norman Buckley has directed episodes for all of these shows and shares his years of wisdom as a successful TV Director and Professor at UCLA. Host Mike Pecci joins Norman in ILWP's version of a film school lecture that reminds us of the importance of having a strong, small ego.Check out Norman Buckley's website:http://www.normanbuckley.com/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessReminder that Chuck Bass is THE WORST.Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by Code Elektro:www.codeelektro.com/Say hi to our friends over at Film Riot: www.filmriot.com/The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP115 | Should You Finance Your Own Movie? (Guest Josh Lobo)
That hunger... that drive... that NEED to make your film... it's always there. It's always pulsing in your mind. But what if no one else feels it? What if no one else understands? How do you make it a reality? How much are you willing to put on the line? They say you shouldn't put money into your own film, but is it true? Is it really not worth it? Director Josh Lobo thought it was. Host Mike Pecci and Josh discuss the struggles of directing an independent feature film, how to find your crew, and why putting your own money into your film may be the right decision.Check out I Trapped The Devil on HuluI Trapped The Devil Trailer:https://youtu.be/Jae48OiyIyYJosh Lobo on the making of I Trapped The Devil:https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/296591/horror-business-making-i-trapped-the-devil-with-josh-lobo/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessIt Comes At Night (Available on Netflix):https://youtu.be/6YOYHCBQn9gPossessor (Available to Rent on Amazon):https://youtu.be/VkQn7W_Qio0Beyond The Black Rainbow (Available on Tubi):https://youtu.be/nWF0bBKhe6oYell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by Code Elektro:www.codeelektro.com/Say hi to our friends over at Film Riot: www.filmriot.com/The Episode is Sponsored by:EV: www.electrovoice.comPuget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.

EP113 | Screaming Babies, Sexy Saxophones, and Trump Love? (Guest Mike Diva)
How far would you go to make a viral video? Would you make a fool of yourself? Strap on some sexy pants? Beat babies? Technically commit an act of terror? Mike Diva somehow did all of that as he created a slew of classic viral videos like Sexy Sax Guy, the Japanese Trump Commercial, and the Tokyo Stomp. Yeah, he’s that guy. After Mike went viral, he continued on to be a successful music video and commercial director and his most recent epic video for Run the Jewels and the Cyberpunk2077 is a gorgeous cybernetic masterpiece.

EP111 | A Room Full of Directors(with Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott)

Even building up your career to get to where you want and need to be. Director duo Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott, also known as Cary & Jon, join Director Mike Pecci to really dive into what it means to work as a director.Check out Cary & Jon's incredible work:https://www.caryandjon.com/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessYell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: inlovewiththeprocess@gmail.comFeaturing Music by Code Elektro:www.codeelektro.com/Say hi to our friends over at Film Riot: www.filmriot.com/The Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-…_hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.
