You’d think when Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson teamed up to produce and star in the movie Father Stu, it would have been a no brainer getting it financed, shot and released. You might think that but you’d be wrong…
Now imagine a young actor and an up and coming Director of Photography team up to produce an Indie film series. How hard was that and what lessons did they learn along the way?
On this episode of On Location we sit down with Josh Wells, DP and actor Rene Guercy to discuss their soon to be released episodic series, “GOING O.T.”
Key Takeaways:
- Joe Scacciaferro interviews film professionals Josh Wells and Renee Guercy about their pilot project, “Going OT.”
- Renee drew inspiration from his own past and prior work (including “Money and Violence” and “All Eyez on Me”) to shape the story.
- Josh collaborated closely with Renee as the DP/cinematographer and director, emphasizing teamwork despite constraints.
- A major challenge was figuring out the narrative structure and choosing the right storytelling style for the pilot.
- The pilot is on YouTube to build an audience, with plans to pull it down if/when they land a production deal.
- Their aim is to expand into an eight-episode season and further improve the pilot with added content.
- They’re looking for a network/platform that fits their vision and gives them strong creative control.
- They’re open to collaborations and value support from platforms like Ferro City as they grow the project.
