In this episode, I am joined by filmmaker Mark Mc Auley to discuss the creative process behind his feature film aWake, which was shot in a single day!

The discussion covers his entire creative workflow, philosophical approach to filmmaking, production tactics, and loads more. Some of the topics covered include:

  • Adapting a short film into to a feature
  • Using single takes to produce a feature in one day
  • Elevating “stage play” ideas with a cinematic treatment
  • The importance of setting rules for your production
  • How to build your own filmmaking model
  • Cultivating resilience for long term success
  • Creating buzz and navigating festivals
