Listen now
Description
Nigel is joined in the pod by martial arts instructor, stunt performer and co-ordinator turned UK film producer Joe Hallett. They discuss his pulp horror slasher 'Paintball Massacre' and the long road to producing and releasing a film in the unstable landscape of the UK film industry. Joe shares his experiences and insights on raising funding, working with distributors, unveiling the UK film market and fighting for a release on physical media in the streaming age with a pandemic thrown in for good measure. This is an interview that blends insight and tip-sharing with an unlikely underdog story that is a must-listen for filmmakers working on their own feature films as well as providing a de-mystifying look at how films are sold in the UK and how to traverse a constantly-changing road.
