Hello, Hello!
In this episode, Alex Ivey and Allison Inverness dive deep into the work and philosophy of filmmaker Kd Amond, exploring how she creates feature films on micro budgets that wouldn't even cover catering on major productions. They examine her journey from small-town Louisiana to becoming a multi-hyphenate filmmaker who writes, directs, produces, and edits her own psychological thrillers and horror films. The discussion reveals specific strategies for removing creative excuses and turning limitations into marketing advantages, including her strategic use of iPhones as cinema cameras.
We also talk about: • The transition from dramedy to horror filmmaking and Kd's academic approach to the genre • Specific directing techniques including the Colored Pencil Method and the importance of scene "hooks" • On-set challenges of micro-budget productions, including a harrowing drowning scene with dish soap • The partnership between Kd and actress Sarah Zanotti through their production company "AZ IF Productions" • Creating supportive, nurturing film sets that prioritize emotional safety over traditional hierarchical structures
