How to Direct a Hollywood Movie with Clive Tonge

#filmdirector #filmpodcast #filmmaking
This week I spoke to writer/director Clive Tonge about his Horror Movie Mara. The movie is about sleep paralysis and stars Olga Kurylenko.
It had a budget of $5 million so this was an interesting chat with somebody about low budget film production. Clive gave me some great war stories about that production. He talked about working with actors, getting the feature film off the ground in the first place and some tips for you to do the same.
