Live from Sundance with "Bedford Park" Producer Gary Foster on How to be a Director's Offensive Lineman

from Angle on Producers with Carolina Groppa · host Carolina Groppa

*Brought to you in partnership with GreenSlate* Bucket list moment unlocked! 🎬 Our first-ever live episode from Sundance is here. I sat down with producer Gary Foster to talk about the seven-year journey of bringing "Bedford Park" to the screen—a deeply personal Korean-American story that almost didn't get made. We tackle:  How Gary met director Stephanie Ahn 12 years ago when she was an assistant editor, and why he championed her debut feature for seven years The unconventional move that landed Hyundai as the first major investor with $1 million  That terrifying moment when he started production without full financing How changing a key character from Caucasian to Korean-American transformed the entire film What being a "career producer" actually means If you've ever wondered what it really takes to get an indie film made in today's landscape: the persistence, the creative partnerships, the calculated risks....this conversation is for you. xx CG AOP SUBSTACK 📫 Musings, Mixers, Workshops, and Exclusive Content https://angleonproducers.substack.com/   LISTEN TO THE SHOW Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6UBux9R... iTunes: https://apple.co/3FDyhmC JOIN THE AOP COMMUNITY 📸 Instagram: /   / carolinagroppa   |   / angleonproducers   📱 TikTok: /   / carolina_groppa   👩🏻‍💻 LinkedIn: / bit.ly/2BqHs8L   QUESTIONS ❔Answering your questions on Tuesdays in our newsletter!
