Today, we welcome writer-producer Tom Palmer to the show! Tom is a dear listener of our show and now that he has completed his amazing debut feature film All my friends hate me (2022), we thought to bring him on and let him talk about his incredible journey of making it.
Tom sat down with our hosts, Giles Alderson and Andrew Rodger, to share his insane story about a predatory producer who turned the film’s production upside down. He talks about how he suddenly found himself producing the film on his own, raising the finances, pitching, his learnings from all the different struggles of being a producer as well as film festivals, sales and distribution. He also discusses his writing process, mental health, and the importance of good sound and score.
Tom went through a trial by fire and succeeded. All my friends hate me is a brilliant film and it’s out now. Do go support and see for yourself what is possible. But for now, sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode inspiring episode with Tom Palmer.
 
ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME is out in cinemas!
Pete is cautiously excited about reuniting with his college crew for a birthday weekend. But, one by one, his friends slowly turn against him. Is he being punished, is he paranoid, or is he part of some sick joke?
