We’re excited to dive into film production today with a successful, and very prolific, film producer - Gill Holland.
Show Notes 1. You wear a lot of hats, and are continue to be very respected both the film and music worlds. Tell us more about your workflow, and how your film and music roles intersect. 2. You've managed to have a successful career, living on the indie side of Hollywood, before we jump into your current work, give us a few highlights from projects over the years. A story or two, lessons learned (emerging filmmakers want to learn from these podcasts) 3. So you have two films that have been playing the fest circuit, that will soon be seen by audiences, on their platform or choice I assume. 7 Splinters in Time is one of them. Tell us more about this project and how/when our listeners can see it? 4. Beauty Mark is another film of yours recently acquired for distribution. Give us some background on how you got involved in that project. 5. Since this is clearly in the Cause Cinema space, and knowing it is based on a true story, was there a mission to just share this important story, or was there an intention to create a call to action or movement? Any final thoughts or tips for our aspiring listeners out there. Words of wisdom we can't read in a book about this crazy business? And how about your film picks?
