126: The 6 Gold-Mine Genres of Indie Hollywood with Scott Kirkpatrick

What this episode covers

In this episode, I rebroadcast my interview with Scott Kirkpatrick, Author of "Writing for the Green Light: How to make your script the one Hollywood notices". At the time of this interview, Kirkpatrick was an executive at Mar Vista Entertainment, and his background in film sales and production unveils the truth about working in the world of Indie Hollywood. Welcome to the Film Trooper Podcast, where I try to help filmmakers attain filmmaking freedom as an independent. 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. And this is one key cornerstone at attaining this filmmaking freedom. By becoming 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", Independent Film Marketing Strategist, Sheri Candler, and Peter Broderick, Indie Film Distribution Expert.
