How to Direct a Movie for Shudder with Josh Forbes

Send us Fan Mail#filmmakingpodcast #shudder #directing This week on the podcast I'm talking to Director Josh Forbes. Josh started his career making music videos, he went on to direct a horror film called 'Contracted - Phase 2' and then directed a film for Shudder starring Alex Winters called 'Destroy all Neighbours'. He also recently completed a documentary called 'Gallagher' about the famous American comedian of the same name. I talked to Josh about music videos and how this might be a good avenue into filmmaking instead of short films, we talked about his first feature film, what the shoot was like and the lessons he learned and we talked about the film he directed for shudder, how it came together and I  asked him about working with Hollywood legend Betty White.Check out the trailer for Destroy all Neighbours: https://youtu.be/puY9AthRUCQ?si=vrkyoa8SqXQE65YJCheck out the re-release of Jim's first solo directing feature The Witches Hammer - out now on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0F235F4T8/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rSupport the showFor regular updates and exclusive content - sign up for The Honest Filmmaker newsletterhttps://thehonestfilmmaker.co.uk/index.php/e-newsletter/Join The Honest Filmmaker community on our Facebook Group or Discord https://thehonestfilmmaker.co.uk/index.php/join-the-community/HONEST, OPEN ADVICE ABOUT YOUR FILMMAKING CAREERAre you about to leave Uni with a filmmaking degree?
