This week on the Imperfect Podcast we interviewed independent film maker Christopher Glatis and actor Rick Ravanello. We discussed their experience making the short film Swivel Shot. Swivel Shot is about two LAPD police officers, at the height of their love that are about to surprise each other with joyful news. Unfortunately, a day that could have been beautiful for both, proves to be the most challenging of their lives. Swivel Shot is a moving story of timing, fate and destiny.

As independent film makers we strive to make movies that have an impact. During the interview Christopher & Rick discussed how important collaboration is to the creative process. Rick pointed out how important relationships are in the film industry and that making friends with the crew will help your career for years to come. They also shared why short films can make a bigger impact with the audience, plus find out what equipment they used and how much budget you might need for your next independent short film.

Winter Film Awards 48 Hour Film Challenge

by hecklerkane Film Maker Interviews, Imperfect Podcast

On this week’s Imperfect Podcast, we talk about our experience at the 2016 Winter Film Awards 48-hour Film Challenge. There were 21 teams chosen to demonstrate how well they could create a 2-7 minute short film based on a given genre, tag line, and a prop. Each team was called into a conference room and asked to pick a genre out of a hat. The genres were Horror/Slasher or Monster, Romance or Comedy, Martial Arts or Super Hero, Buddy film/Chick flick, Spy/Cop, Zombie/Musical, Science-fiction, Western, Thriller/ Suspense or Film Noir.

The tag line for this year’s 48 hour film challenge, which every group had to incorporate into their short film, was the following quote from Oscar Wilde: “This is New York and there’s no law against being annoying.” The last requirement and most challenging was the prop, Grand Central Station. Each group was issued a permit to film in that location for 1 hour.

We discuss the difficulties inherent in a challenge such as this as Heckler Kane Creations was one of the participating teams. Here are all the films submitted on YouTube.
