HOW TO: Turn Your Limitations into Storytelling Devices (w/ Aviv Rubinstien)

from The 50/50 Podcast · host 50/50 Film Festival

This week, the guys sit down with writer-director-professor Aviv Rubinstien to talk about turning constraints into creative opportunities. Aviv shares how starting in horror taught him the value of budget limitations, why teaching sharpens his writing and widens his network, and how he’s built career longevity as a storyteller. We also dig into the lessons behind his meta road-trip movie, what to do—and what not to do—when making a loosely scripted film on the road, and why choosing the right festival is more important than chasing the flashiest one.
