#filmmakingpodcast #shudder #directing
This week on the podcast I'm talking to Director Josh Forbes. Josh started his career making music videos, he went on to direct a horror film called 'Contracted - Phase 2' and then directed a film for Shudder starring Alex Winters called 'Destroy all Neighbours'. He also recently completed a documentary called 'Gallagher' about the famous American comedian of the same name.
I talked to Josh about music videos and how this might be a good avenue into filmmaking instead of short films, we talked about his first feature film, what the shoot was like and the lessons he learned and we talked about the film he directed for shudder, how it came together and I asked him about working with Hollywood legend Betty White.
