Making a film on a iphone? Then take a listen to this weeks guests Powell Robinson and Patrick Robert Young as they dive deep into how they made threshold on two iphone 8+, a three man crew and released it to great acclaim on Arrow.
We talk about their first feature Bastard which they made two months out of film school with their producer Lauren Bates, how they lost they investment and went and shot it anyway.
They chat how making indie films on no budget can bond you for life ad how they sold Bastard when they were 21 years old.
They talk about how sound is vital on indie films and why they made their latest film Threshold on iphones and their love for tea and donuts.
THRESHOLD follows a sister, claiming to be cursed, as she persuades her brother to embark on a cross country road trip to break her spell.
