Join us for a fascinating look at the wild world of independent moviemaking before the digital revolution as independent filmmaker J.R. Bookwalter joins the MM Club for a very special episode on shooting features on motion picture film!  

Beginning with his Super 8 shorts and ambitious first Super 8 feature, The Dead Next Door through his early 16mm productions Robot Ninja and Skinned Alive, J.R. shares insights from pre-production to development and every step in between. 

Punctuated with stories from the trenches and occasional triumphs, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in the process and up to the challenge of stretching every dollar to overcoming seemingly impossible production challenges.
