Hello, Hello! In this episode, we explore the remarkable journey of writer-director Motke Dapp as he transitioned from rock musician to novelist to filmmaker, ultimately creating his feature film "Another Version of You." The conversation reveals the brutal realities of independent film distribution and the critical difference between intentional filmmaking craft and simple content creation. We dive deep into what Dapp calls the "fourth phase" of filmmaking - distribution and ROI - which often becomes the graveyard for talented indie filmmakers.
We also talk about: • The "Colorado anomaly" that gave Dapp mandatory film education through weekly movie theater visits during his childhood • His intensive "personal film school" period, where he created seven films in one year, including his first feature • The concept of "the thing" - that mysterious magnetic quality certain actors possess that draws audiences in • Specific strategies for supporting independent films, including the importance of reviews and avoiding engagement with negative trolls • The heartfelt tribute to actress Brittany Belland, who appeared in both of Dapp's features before tragically passing away
