The Indie Team Behind "The Unidentified" on this week's Double Down Film Show!

On the next Double Down Film Show we’ll be breaking down an indie film case-study with writer/director, Kevan Tucker, and Producer/Editor, Tim O’Neill, the creative team behind the independent film, The Unidentified.

Although a narrative film, The Unidentified was completed for $130,000, partially-improvised and shot amongst real-life events including a massive anti-war protest in Washington, D.C. After winning multiple awards at festivals across the country including Best Breakout Performance, Best New Director and Best Feature. The film is slated to premiere on PBS this weekend.

• How do you get your crew invested in your film?

• How do gather and keep project momentum?

• What should you rely on beyond festivals for distribution?

• How has the indie film marketing evolved in recent years?

• Why is it important to show up at your festival screenings?

Break out your indie notebooks as we answer all these questions and many more on the next episode of the Double Down Film Show. We don’t just talk about making films, we talk about making careers in filmmaking. Listen and learn every Wednesday night.

WORKZ: NYU Future Music Moguls Promo

This is the first of a series of 6 promos we're creating for NYU's Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music at Tisch School of the Arts (aka "ReMu"). It's the first official project I've co-directed through Pete Chatmon's new media and advertising company, Double 7 Boutique.

The clients wanted a hip MTV-esque spot that would highlight the program and appeal to high school students and I think we nailed it. Our editor, Giga Shane, did an incredible job of translating the concept and beefing things up with some hot graphics.

This was one of those projects that I really enjoyed putting together, because it's such a great program that I'm honored to help put the word out about it. It's brand-new, free, innovative and the kids we interviewed seemed to really appreciate and benefit from their partcipation in this program. If I were in H.S. and inclined toward music, I'd be all over it!

Agency: Double 7 Boutique
Directors/Producers: Anthony Q. Artis, Pete Chatmon
Camera: Benjamin Ahr Harrison, Tristan Nash
