Making Movies is Hard Ep. 277
From Alrik Bursell and Liz Manashil - This week Liz and Alrik welcome return guests Hannah Black and Megan Petersen to talk about their first feature film Drought, which won Seed and Spark’s Hometown Heroes competition back in 2017. Megan and Hannah talk to us about what they have learned from working with Mark and Jay Duplass on their film and the long road they took to getting their film finished once they got their green light!
From Jason Charnick - Season 2 of Head Above Water rolls on!
This week’s episode is a Dances With Films festival special!
On today’s show, we talk with Megan Petersen & Hannah Black from the film Drought about being first-time feature filmmakers, the excitement and subsequent pressure of winning crowdfunding platform Seed & Spark’s Hometown Heroes contest, working with Mark & Jay Duplass, and why their filmmaking home will always be Wilmington, North Carolina.
Show Don’t Tell - Ep 64
From Noam Kroll - On this week’s episode, I interview two amazing filmmakers – Hannah Black and Megan Petersen – who are in post-production for their $50K micro-budget feature Drought. Having never made a feature before, they were able to write an incredible script, raise $25K in crowdfunding through Seed & Spark, and an additional $25K through the Duplass Brothers who are Executive Producers on the project.
Over the course of the interview we cover their entire process from A to Z – From the development of their first screenplay draft to shooting the movie in 18 days, and pushing through post-production with their sights set on a festival run – Not letting anything stop them along the way, including a massive hurricane that hit in the middle of production!
From Alex Ferrari - Today on the show we have directors Megan Petersen & Hannah Black. They are the winners of the Seed and Spark/Duplass Brother Hometown Heroes Contest. We sit down and discuss all things indie film, what it was like to direct this film while having the guidance of indie film legends like Jay and Mark Duplass. Enjoy my inspirational conversation with Megan Petersen & Hannah Black.
From Hudson Phillips - The filmmaking world is not an easy one (to put it extremely lightly) and filmmakers are rarely prepared to cope with the ups and downs of the emotional journey. Hudson chats with actors/writers/directors Megan Peterson & Hannah Black about the insane roller coaster journey they've experienced on their Duplass Brothers produced film, Drought, and what it takes to keep going in the face of smashed expectations.
From Andrew Paul Davis - Co-directing team Hannah Black & Megan Petersen discuss their independent feature film "Drought", which premiered at the Vail Film Festival amidst the pandemic. They discuss their experience premiering online in this new festival environment, winning Hometown Heroes 2017 (a Seed&Spark rally), and working with Mark & Jay Duplass.
Show Don’t Tell - Ep 111
From Noam Kroll - Last year I had the fortune of interviewing Hannah Black & Megan Petersen all about their feature film Drought for Episode 64 of the podcast. As a refresher, this is the creative duo whose debut feature was crowdfunded on Seed & Spark before landing a $50K investment from the Duplass Bros, the film’s Executive Producers.
While our first interview was centered around the origin story of this feature film, this time around we talk all about the project’s “second act.” We go into detail on the creative finishing work that went into this movie, the unique challenges of navigating film festivals during these uncertain times, release intentions and strategies for the film, and much more!
