Directing & DP'ing A No-Budget, No-Crew Monochrome Feature Film With Jean-Baptiste Herment

Today I am joined by film critic turned filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Herment, here to talk about his DIY feature film Épidermique.

Throughout the episode we discuss:

• How Jean-Baptiste produced the feature film with no crew
• Benefits of spreading out the production schedule over a year
• Drawing inspiration from Italian cinema, Robert Rodriguez and beyond
• The benefits of shooting monochrome on a low budget
• Using 4 - 5 different cameras and matching them in post
• The merits of film festivals vs. online self-distribution
• Much more!
