Steve Barton: The Story Behind TERRIFIER, Dread Central & 30 Years in Horror

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Honest Filmmaker, I'm joined by filmmaker, producer and horror industry veteran Steve Barton. Steve has spent around 30 years in the film business, from working in journalism and founding Dread Central to making films and working alongside some of the biggest names in horror, including George A. Romero and Sid Haig. We talk about the long, messy reality of building a career in independent film, learning on the job, dealing with rejection, working with friends, taking criticism, protecting yourself with contracts and why sometimes you have to be prepared to do absolutely every job on a production. Steve also takes me behind the scenes of one of the biggest stories of his career: Terrifier. He explains how he first discovered Damien Leone's film, why he believed in it when others didn't, how he helped get Terrifier 2 into the hands of its audience and what he learned from being part of a film that went from an independent horror movie to a genuine phenomenon. We also get into the changing world of film criticism, social media, marketing indie films, distribution, the importance of finding your audience and why there's no shortcut to building a sustainable filmmaking career. It's an honest conversation about the highs, lows, frustrations and rewards of spending decades trying to make films and finding an audience for them. And, naturally, we finish by talking about George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, the film that started Steve's lifelong love affair with horror. If you're making independent films, trying to get your work noticed, or simply wondering how people actually build a career in this industry, there's plenty here to dig into.

How to Make, Distribute & Release a £33K Feature Film with Kevin Walls

Send us Fan Mail How do you make a feature film for around £33,000 and get it into cinemas without a traditional distributor? In this episode of The Honest Filmmaker, Jim talks to filmmaker Kevin Walls about his feature film Premature , from writing the first draft in just two weeks and bootstrapping the production, through to crowdfunding, a 23-day shoot and the challenge of distributing the finished film. Kevin explains why the film cost around £16,000 to produce, how crowdfunding helped take the overall budget to around £33,000 and how his freelance work helped him finance the project. But the conversation really gets interesting when they get onto distribution. After taking Premature to the European Film Market in Berlin, Kevin received distribution offers but decided to take a different route when the deals didn't include the theatrical release he wanted. Instead, he set up his own company and started approaching cinemas himself. Kevin talks about getting the film into cinemas, using YouTube and TikTok audience data to help sell the film to cinema bookers, negotiating ticket splits, getting PR and reviews and what he's learned from taking control of the release himself. They also discuss shooting on a tiny budget, getting filming permissions, working with a small crew, crowdfunding and what Kevin would do differently on his next feature.

How Ole Hartmann Made a $25K Feature Film After Writing It in 8 Days

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you decide you're going to make a feature film, despite having almost no connections in the film industry? For Ole Hartmann, it started while watching Desperado . Inspired by Robert Rodriguez's story of making El Mariachi , Ole realised that perhaps he didn't need to wait for someone else to give him permission to make a movie. He could finance one himself. Six days later, he started writing. Eight days after that, he had a feature script. The result was a $25,000 horror film , made with a team he largely assembled after moving to Texas without knowing anyone in the local film industry. In this episode, Ole talks about his unconventional route into filmmaking, writing a feature in eight days, finding cast and crew online, making a movie around the resources he actually had, the compromises that come with a tiny budget and why he decided to self-distribute the finished film. We also get into the realities of making low-budget horror; including fake dogs, fake blood, unexpected scenes, creative problem solving and the moments on set when collaboration produced something better than what was originally written. And Ole explains what he wishes he'd known before making the film; including why he believes filmmakers can never study enough movies. If you're trying to make your first feature, working with a tiny budget or wondering whether you really have everything you need to get started, there's plenty here to take away. Listen to the episode and find out how Ole went from watching Robert Rodriguez's Desperado to making his own $25,000 feature film.

We Thought Making Our First Feature Would Be Easier… with Devin Smock and Sam David

Send us Fan Mail What does it really take to make your first feature film? This week on The Honest Filmmaker Podcast, I'm joined by Devin Smock and Sam David , who are currently making Hollar , their debut feature. They're about 60% through the film, having already completed a 16-day shooting block and spent around $15,000. Now they're working towards the next stage and figuring out how to get the remaining footage in the can. Along the way, they've learned some valuable lessons about writing for a micro-budget, scheduling, casting, locations, working with a small crew and adapting when things don't go according to plan. We talk about why they chose Hollar as their first film, the challenges of making a post-apocalyptic story on a limited budget, how they attracted talented cast and crew with their script, and the things they wish they'd understood before starting production. It's an honest conversation about the realities of making a first feature, what works, what doesn't and how you adapt when the film you're making starts to evolve from the one you imagined. If you're thinking about making your first feature, there's plenty here to take away.

From $100 to HELLMARE: Victor Gabriel on Making Micro-Budget Feature Films

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you want to make a feature film but don't have much money? Filmmaker Victor Gabriel joins The Honest Filmmaker to talk about the making of HELLMARE , his horror feature that cost roughly $10,000 and was shot in just 13 days . Victor started out by making a tiny $100 found-footage film , using friends' houses, borrowed locations and the equipment he already owned. That first experiment wasn't something he was particularly proud of, but it got distributed, made its money back and, most importantly, taught him to actually make films. For HELLMARE, Victor took things considerably further. He talks about raising money through Indiegogo, putting his own money into the production, spending six months in pre-production, finding locations for free, building a crew around friends and family, renting professional camera and sound equipment and creating practical effects on a micro-budget. We also get into the complicated world of film distribution , after HELLMARE found a home with Troma . Victor explains what it meant to sign the film away in perpetuity, why he was comfortable with that decision, how the deal helped him break even and why sometimes getting your film into the world can be more important than holding onto every single right. It's a brutally honest conversation about making feature films without much money , learning by doing, building a filmmaking team and figuring things out as you go. If you're a filmmaker trying to get your first feature made, there's plenty here to steal.

Filmmaker Peter Stylianou joins Jim to talk about his journey from making his first feature, Who Needs Enemies , for around £6,000 to his latest film, The Nice Ones , made with a budget of around £80,000. Peter explains how he self-financed his first feature with help from his family, what he learned from getting the film into distribution and why it took seven years before he made his next feature. We talk about the realities of micro-budget filmmaking, the importance of having a body of work, finding private investors, approaching production companies, building a finance plan and understanding UK film tax incentives. Peter also shares the lessons he learned from shooting The Lost in just nine days, including why time may be the most important thing you can spend money on when making a film. And we get personal about filmmaking too, including the hardest day Peter has ever experienced on set, the moment he thought about walking away and the rare moments when everything comes together and you realise this is why we make films.

He Got 4 MILLION Views on a £500 Short… Then Made the Feature with Cathal Fitzpatrick

Send us Fan Mail Can you really make a feature film for £9,000? Filmmaker Cathal Fitzpatrick joins Jim to talk about the extraordinary journey behind Hollow Trees . The project began as a £500 proof-of-concept short film made while Cathal was at university . The short went on to attract around 4 million views online , giving Cathal the motivation to turn the idea into a feature. But the millions of views didn't suddenly bring a huge production budget. Instead, Cathal spent years saving, rewriting and developing the project before eventually making Hollow Trees for around £9,000 , with a crew of just 11 people and a two-week shoot. Cathal talks about the realities of making an ambitious feature on a micro-budget, finding locations that add production value, working with a tiny crew, the importance of lighting, film festival strategy, spending money on submissions, sales and distribution and the biggest things he'd do differently if he made the film again. It's an honest look at what it actually takes to go from short film → proof of concept → feature film without waiting for someone else to give you permission.

From a £20 Short Film to a Feature: Aaron Truss on Making Films Without Permission

Send us Fan Mail What does it really take to move from making short films to making a feature? This week, Jim talks to filmmaker Aaron Truss about his unconventional route into filmmaking, from being obsessed with films as a kid and discovering Batman '89 , to making a £20 zombie short film at university and eventually turning that short into the feature film Employee of the Dead . Aaron talks honestly about why filmmakers often struggle to make the jump from shorts to features, the huge commitment involved in making a feature and the reality of trying to raise £50,000 through crowdfunding. We discuss the relentless work involved in promoting a crowdfunding campaign, why Aaron's team spent around £500 creating a proof-of-concept rather than simply asking people for money and how they've attracted actors including Dani Harmer, Nick Helm and Paul Casar to an independently produced project. Paul joins the conversation to explain why an established working actor is choosing to be part of a micro-budget film, what attracted him to Employee of the Dead and why he believes independent filmmakers are creating a new kind of filmmaking rebellion. We also get into casting, networking, building genuine relationships, supporting other filmmakers and why sometimes the best way to get people to help you is to help them first.

Charlie Steeds: Making 20 Feature Films on Micro Budgets

Send us Fan Mail What does it take to make 20 feature films and turn micro-budget filmmaking into a full-time career? In this episode of The Honest Filmmaker Podcast, Jim talks to filmmaker Charlie Steeds about his extraordinary journey from making short films as a teenager to building a career making horror features. Charlie shares how he financed his first film for around $2,000, how he moved from self-financing into working with sales companies and producers and how his budgets have evolved over the course of 20 feature films. We also talk about the reality of making filmmaking your day job, including the pressure to keep producing, the compromises that come with lower budgets and how Charlie adapted when the film industry changed. Charlie explains why he has learned to do almost every job on his productions, from writing, directing and editing to sound and cinematography and why he believes sound is one of the most important areas for independent filmmakers to get right. We also get into one of the biggest problems he sees in indie filmmaking: rushing productions. Charlie argues that filmmakers often try to shoot too much, too quickly, rather than giving their films the care they need. And after making three films in just 33 days, Charlie has plenty of experience of what happens when speed becomes part of the filmmaking process. Finally, we discuss cinematography, inspiration and why filmmakers should go back to the movies that made them fall in love with filmmaking, studying how they were shot, lit and constructed, then using those lessons in their own work. A candid conversation about micro-budget filmmaking, making a living from movies, learning your craft and finding the balance between making films for the art and making films to pay the bills. 🎙️ The Honest Filmmaker Podcast — honest conversations about independent filmmaking, careers, budgets, distribution and the realities of making movies. #TheHonestFilmmaker #CharlieSteeds #IndieFilmmaking #MicroBudgetFilmmaking #Filmmaking #IndependentFilm #Filmmaker #HorrorFilmmaking #FilmProduction #Directing #Cinematography #FilmCareer Check out the re-release of Jim's first solo directing feature The Witches Hammer - out now on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0F235F4T8/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r Support the show For regular updates and exclusive content - sign up for The Honest Filmmaker newsletter https://thehonestfilmmaker.co.uk/index.php/e-newsletter/ Join The Honest Filmmaker community on our Facebook Group or Discord https://thehonestfilmmaker.co.uk/index.php/join-the-community/ HONEST, OPEN ADVICE ABOUT YOUR FILMMAKING CAREER Are you about to leave Uni with a filmmaking degree?
