Join us as we sit down with the extraordinary director Luis Gerard, who takes us on a fascinating journey into their latest film, "The Wake".  Now oscar-qualifying, this intriguing tale of two brothers who rob homes of the deceased during their funerals, born out of the ashes of a previous project, is a testament to Louise's resilience and creativity. With the aid of a Canadian crew, Luis talks about bringing the script to life and braving a move to Canada for seven months of preparation. His candid reflections on would-haves and could-haves provide valuable insights for aspiring filmmakers. We also deep-dive into the technical side of filmmaking. Hear from a seasoned film writer and director about the fidelity of a film to its screenplay, the art and science of using transitions, and the significant role of sound design in storytelling. Find out how to effectively select, prepare, and navigate platforms for film festivals. Send us a textFor our listeners, CFA’s teamed up with We Make Movies to get you a discount on production management services, including access to comprehensive production insurance and workers' comp for your next shoot.Visit wemakemovies.org/insurance and use code CFA23 on your intake form for 10% off your quote.Calling all actors!
