Description

This week Liz and Alrik welcome Vietnamese Writer/Director Le Van Kiet to the show to talk about his latest film, The Requin which started as a Vietnamese film which he ended up translating to English. Kiet talks about why he made a shark movie, his life as a writer/director in Vietnam, making the top grossing box office film in Vietnam Furie (at the time) and how he got approached by Hulu/Disney to direct the upcoming action movie The Princess which is coming out in 2022! After that Liz and Alrik talk about an article from Eric Kohn over at Indie Wire about how Sundance Directors shouldn't direct Marvel movies as their second films and Liz asks Alrik about how to best set up the rules of your genre film.For 20% off your Jambox subscription use code MMIH @ jambox.io Check out the ISA at: www.networkisa.orgThis Weeks Article: https://www.indiewire.com/2022/01/sundance-filmmakers-direct-blockbusters-1234692811/

Liz Manashil and Alrik Bursell discuss independent filmmaking, everything from writing, producing and directing to working as crew. But this is not just a podcast about "making it," it's also about struggling with rejection, self-doubt and everything else that comes with pursuing a career in film. Follow along as we forge our own way through the industry and talk to guests who are also making it happen. Episodes 238-299 are available at our patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/mmihpodcast
