269: Writing & Filmmaking outside of LA WITH ANDY COMPTON

Is it possible to succeed in filmmaking outside of Los Angeles? Let's talk about it with our special guest, Andy Compton! Join us for a conversation with Andy Compton, an Asian American writer and director from St. Louis, Missouri. Once a hard-partying high school dropout, Andy found sobriety in his late 20s, graduated Cum Laude from Webster University, and sharpened his storytelling skills at The Improv Shop. Andy’s characters often mirror his journey, exploring themes like class struggle and addiction with a unique blend of humor and drama. His comedy feature BELLYACHE is currently optioned, and his 2023 short film CAPTCHA has earned multiple awards, including Best Narrative Film at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase. Andy hosts The Social Screenwriters Podcast, which you can check out on YouTube, Spotify, and other platforms. #BraveMaker #BraveMakerPodcast #Filmmakers Watch the weekly LIVE stream on ⁠⁠BraveMaker ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
