Fade In To Film: Where Movie Ideas Come From

SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking

Episode 167 is our bi-weekly panel discussion. This episode was recorded November 22, 2023.

Before you pull your phone out of your pocket to film, you should have a story in mind. Our panel discusses where to get ideas for stories from, write a screenplay and make that movie! Why most indie filmmakers write and produce their films instead of selling their screenplays to studios, especially if they use smartphone cameras.

What we discuss:

• How we generate our ideas for films
• Differences between short and feature film stories
• Why indie filmmakers don’t sell their screenplays
• Algorithms for film marketing online
• Will AI help producers predict marketability of a story
• What inspires filmmakers to keep making films

Panelists in this episode: Joey Min and Ryan McDonald.
