Truly Indie


Indie horror auteur Larry Fessenden came to our class today and spoke about his career.

It was really fascinating as here is someone that has mostly made all of his films outside of the studio system, with his own money. He's been able to eek out a lifestyle from his own films and the small production company that he started.

Lately, we get caught up with trying to sell a movie to some studio or get some big time producer to snatch it up, or get actors tied to a script. It's very refreshing and inspiring to see that it is possible to make feature films that people will watch with a couple thousand dollars and a seven person crew.
