Grant Pichla joins Giles Alderson to chat how he made his feature film Making Time in TWO DAYS!!
Giles and Grant had a good natter on film-making and the joys and sacrifices we make to make films.
We talk about Grant's background, how he got into filmmaking and his first feature film 'Niners'
How making a feature film whilst having a job and renovating a house is a tough thing to do but so rewarding at the same time.
And how Grant used the renovation as production design in the film.
How he devised a way to shoot 'Making Time' his feature film in two days - via camera setups, lighting etc
How he dealt with major problems on set, even though it was two days spreadd out over 7 months, dealing with extreme weather conditions, loosing cast and crew
And how he had to work against the clock to overcome the odds.
