047: What if your debut feature film starred Juliette Lewis? Director, Jen McGowan explains

What this episode covers

Welcome to the Film Trooper Podcast, where I try to help independent filmmakers become entrepreneurs. Why? Because film production is no longer a barrier ... anyone can make a film. Film distribution is no longer a barrier ... anyone can sell their film directly to the world. No. Film marketing is the last barrier, as rising above the noise of the internet is the challenge. By becoming a filmmaking entrepreneur, a.k.a. Film Trooper, filmmakers can learn the skills necessary to adapt and thrive in this new era of filmmaking and internet marketing. Join me, Scott McMahon, as I explore these topics. Past guests have included exclusive interviews with Oren Peli, Creator of "Paranormal Activity", Stephanie Palmer of "Good In A Room", Jason Brubaker of "Filmmaking Stuff", Emily Best of "Seed & Spark", and Independent Film Marketing Strategist, Sheri Candler. In this episode, I interview Jen McGowan, the Director of "Kelly & Cal", a new independent film starring Juliette Lewis and released by IFC. Listen in as Jen explains the long struggle from film school to releasing her first feature film at SXSW and winning the Gamechanger Emergent Woman Director Award.
