Ep 604: John Thomas Kelley & Francesco Loschiavo

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmakers John Thomas Kelley and Francesco Loschiavo (TALES FROM THE VOID) join Adam and Joe to discuss the making of their anthology TV series - now available on Screambox and featuring a pilot episode directed by our own Joe Lynch! From their shared love of short stories and anthology TV series leading to their collaboration on TALES FROM THE VOID… to how they mined fantastic untouched short stories from the NO SLEEP community and put the time in to tracking down the various authors all over the world to option each unique tale they were interested in… to the development process of writing and crafting each short story into a compelling episode of television… to the long process that the series endured getting off the ground and all of the setbacks the project suffered on its way from concept through production… to the lessons they learned while creating, writing, show running, and directing their first season of a television series… to bringing Joe Lynch into the fold as the director of the pilot episode… to the reactions from the series' extensive festival tour and a heartfelt and candid conversation about how filmmakers deal with on-line criticism after spending so many years and so much effort creating something that's just meant to entertain people… John and Francesco's sheer determination to bring TALES FROM THE VOID out of "the void" and on to our screens is certainly something to behold, applaud and draw inspiration from.
