Who says making a movie requires expensive equipment, a large crew, and a script? Maybe creating a film can be a creative experiment between a couple of friends who are excited about the uncertainty of the journey that awaits. This was the realization Pete Ohs had when he recognized that the typical approach to filmmaking was not for him.

Finding a location that is narratively inspiring and accessible
Thinking about the edit while directing
An extremely unique and collaborative way to develop characters
Creating a score that is not traditional to other films
Pete’s unique approach to creating movies
How Pete keeps the budget so low and why it’s important
Feeling excited by the challenge of the limited resources you have
Why the uncertainty of this style of filmmaking is exciting and magical
Their Slamdance Film Festival experience
Other festivals and what they love about them
Starting with what you have available
