Today, we have another special episode for you. Giles swapped places with Dustin Curtis Murphy, the festival director of Kino Short Film, who interviewed him live at a Kino event. They are joined by director Jennifer Sheridan, who is known for her film Rose (2020) and the TV shows Rules of the Game (2022) & The Snow Spider (2020).
Dustin interviews Jennifer & Giles about their journey as a director, their stories behind their first feature films, how they raised the money and how they spoke to distributors. They also discuss how they got their agents, how they got a good cast, film festivals, the importance of being bold, and many audience questions.
Dustin was a brilliant host. He asked some clever questions and Jennifer & Giles gave some inspiring answers. You will enjoy this. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s episode with Jennifer Sheridan, Giles Alderson and Dustin Murphy.
