"Team Works" with Ryan Erlandsen

Welcome to a brand new season of Beyond Your Imagination, a podcast that celebrates the kick-ass DIY spirit of independent film. I'm Chris Martin, and my co-conspirator this season is Ryan Erlandsen of Marble Mountain Films. In this episode, we explore team work and the many ways to build a cast and crew for independent projects. From gas station casting and coffee shop networking to bringing people of all skill levels together, Ryan shares his experiences of finding the right—and sometimes wrong—people for his projects. As someone who often approaches my own creative projects by myself, I also share how collaborating with Ryan has positively impacted my work. Be advised that our language filters didn't adapt to the shifting temperatures in the cabin, so we have lots of colorful words and phrases throughout the conversation.
