Hello, Hello!
In this episode, filmmaker Emma Parks discusses her journey from creating the award-winning short film "Dirty Towel" during her senior year of college to developing it into a feature-length project. Emma shares her experience premiering at Tribeca Film Festival and the challenges of raising funds for her upcoming feature film, where she'll be writing, producing, and acting. The conversation explores the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the importance of creating your own opportunities in the entertainment industry.
We also talk about: • Growing up in a prank-loving household and pulling off the ultimate Christmas prank involving a fake "anthropology rock" • The challenge of wearing multiple hats as a filmmaker - writing, producing, directing, and acting • Why young filmmakers should take control of their careers instead of waiting for opportunities • The phenomenon of audiences becoming "bored with greatness" when it comes to legends like Meryl Streep and Steven Spielberg • Building collaborative relationships and making content with friends who share your creative passion
