Producer, Director and screenwriter, Lee Chambers joins Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Christian James (Fanged Up) to talk about his new indie movie The Pineville Heist.
Made for 100k and a lot of help from local crew and nearby locations in Cananda, Lee set out to make his debut feature film and came across a whole heap of problems.
We chat about his award winning short film Hugh Jackman Saves the World, His time helping out on a movie LVJ, which was Giles' first ever feature film and the how the same DoP worked on both films. Casting a named talent (BooBoo Stewart) and heaving to re-cast due to time.
Questioning yourself on set and working creatively with your cinematographer and how sometimes it's ok to tell people to fuck off.
