Officially back from filming — and ready to spill all the beans.A lot happened in the month of February: a full week of prep once we landed in Huntsville, AL, two weeks of filming, and another week to wrap it all up. And yes… we’re going to talk about all of it.Consider this your friendly warning that some behind-the-scenes chaos is about to be revealed.Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A Podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME!

We are two weeks away from rolling on our first feature film, and the pre-production scramble is very real.

If you’re an indie filmmaker, first-time feature director, or curious about what goes into getting a movie off the ground, this is where we’re at right now.

Filmmaking is planning. A LOT of planning. Before you can roll a camera or bring your first crew member on board, there’s an enormous amount of pre-production work that has to happen. For us, that meant creating loglines, one-sheets, and location breakdowns to get a handle on logistics and scope. It’s a lot to manage, and while we’re lucky to have a four-person filmmaking team tackling it from every angle, not everyone has that kind of support system.That’s where Alex D. Lugo and his platform FilmPro.ai come in. We’re going to sit down with Alex and talk all things film pre-production, and dig into what steps he sees as most important to getting a movie ready before the director yells action.Check Out the Site: FilmPro.aiAlex D. Lugo is an award-winning actor, filmmaker, software engineer, and the Co-founder/CEO of FilmPro - a software platform that helps filmmakers simplify pre-production. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Miami, Alex’s work is enriched by his multicultural roots and artistic heritage as the son of Daniel Lugo, an iconic Latin American film and television actor. He is an alumni of the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the founder of the production company Vitruvian Films. On the tech side, Alex began his career as a software engineer at Goldman Sachs before joining Square, where he led several initiatives to integrate AI into their onboarding process. Today, through his work at FilmPro, he is reimagining the future of filmmaking by building tools that empower the next generation of storytellers.Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056FIND ALEX-Instagram: @alexdlugoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alejandro.lugo.378LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/alex-d-lugoFilmPro:Instagram: @filmpro_aiWebsite: https://filmpro.aiWe’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A Podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME!

Pre-Production organization on a feature film can be overwhelming. Spreadsheets. Calendars. To-do lists. There are so many things to organize and so many people to coordinate that it's easy to see why making a movie is so incredibly difficult. Enter into the picture an up-and-coming production workflow website called Collabrix that aims to help organize all your information and collaborate with the whole team. The site is still in its infancy, but we’ve convinced Collabrix Founder and CEO Thomas DeCarlo to join us to discuss the site in its current state and what its future looks like.Collabrix Site: https://collabrix.studio/dashboard/Thomas DeCarlo is a filmmaker-entrepreneur who is currently developing his first animated feature through his studio in southern Indiana. Adapted from his multi-award-winning short film, the feature is pioneering a new class of ultra-small independent animation with Thomas as the film’s writer, director, producer, and primary 3D artist. Thomas is also the Founder and CEO of Collabrix, a virtual collaboration platform that is redefining workflow efficiency for decentralized creative teams. Developed in partnership with his studio, Thomas is leveraging the technology to achieve world-class animation with indie-scale resources.Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A Podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME!

Marketing your movie starts long before the cameras start rolling — and now that we’ve been greenlit, we are actively working to get the word out about our first feature film. But how? Lucky for us, the perfect people to ask fell into our laps! Filmmaking duo Kerry Carlock and Nick Lund-Ulrich, who are in the middle of premiering their second feature film, SUFFER, are joining the show today. We are excited to pick their brains because if someone else has already survived the chaos twice, we’d be fools not to take notes.Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056Nick & Kerry!Married filmmaking duo, KERRY CARLOCK & NICK LUND-ULRICH, work together to create genre-bending, character-driven stories. Their debut feature, Armstrong, was a micro-budget superhero drama starring Vicky Jeudy (Orange is the New Black), which was distributed domestically by Screen Media and Amazon Prime. Both Armstrong and their new film, Suffer, are proud recipients of the ReFrame Stamp, sponsored by Women in Film and the Sundance Institute. The honor is a “mark of distinction for projects that have demonstrated success in gender-balanced film.” Separately, their careers have focused on various parts of production. Kerry served as the SVP of Programming for Pie Town Productions for five years and has been on the producing team of over twenty-five primetime series. Nick is a VFX artist and supervisor who owned his own company, which specialized in environments and compositing for supporting VFX on studio features and independent productions. He won a Visual Effects Society Award and an Emmy for HBO’s The Pacific.Where to find themInstagram: @dosgoatsfilmsFacebook: Dos GoatsBluesky: dosgoatsfilms.bsky.socialYouTube: Dos Goats FilmsTikTok: @dosgoatsfilmsWe’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A Podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME!
