Here on Filmmaker’s Stories, we’re a big fan of recent release, Criminal Audition, so we have one final perspective on the production of this great film for you to eavesdrop on!
This week we hear from freelance producer, Nathaniel Francis. Nathaniel started out his journey in front of the camera, but quickly fell into producing after acting on a poorly-produced production, quickly realising he could do a much better job. We asked Nathaniel to discuss his experiences of the producing world and his lessons learned along the way. For Nathaniel, it’s all about giving that 110%, whatever work you’re doing, ensuring you’ve always got another project or idea up your sleeve, and ready to go.
If you’d like to hear more about Criminal Audition, check out episodes 3 and 7 for other interesting accounts and stories. You can also stream the film now on Amazon Prime…but we recommend sticking around for this episode first.
