  • How To Resurrect an Icon of Sexuality and Gender | The Disappearance of Shere Hite
    Dec 5 2023

    Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's Guide.

    In today's episode we dive right into a genre centrally important to so many independent filmmakers, documentary. Hosts James Allerdyce and Matt Mundy get to sit down with acclaimed director and producer Nicole Newnham and her latest film The Disappearance of Shere Hite.

    We are specifically looking into the techniques and artistry of creating a cohesive and compelling storyline exploring the life of an impactful author-celebrity who in recent years has seemingly just disappeared.
    Using interviews from fellow activists, friends, romantic partners as well as sifting through thousands of hours of archival footage (spanning Network television, trade magazines, and personal documentation) we homed in on a few of the intentional decisions made by Newnham and her team to bring Shere Hite almost literally back to life in this very cinematic presentation of her and her importance to so many social movements in the latter part of the 20th Century.

    "Shere Hite's bestselling book The Hite Report liberated female orgasm by revealing the most private experiences of thousands of anonymous surveys. Her findings rocked the American establishment and conversations about gender and sexuality." - IMDb

  • How Independent Films Can Catch Fire with Ratings & Reviews | The Action/Horror Film HERD
    Oct 24 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's Guide.

    In today's episode we dive right into one of the later challenges along the filmmaking journey - getting your film in front of your potential audience. How to actually break through with ratings and reviews in key places.
    The landscape is always changing and tomorrow it may be different. In the meantime, these particular algorithms on streaming platforms hold a lot of sway as to what movies actually get "shelf space" in their store.

    With this in mind, we here at IFG share the great news that our indie horror film HERD (Steven Pierce, James Allerdyce, Matt Mundy) is now released in the US and in an increasing number of other territories around the world.
    But in order to take advantage of all of this potential exposure we ask our listeners directly for their support. As we often do with podcasts but rarely seem to do in film, we talk about the importance of not just watching indie films but rating and reviewing them as well.
    In that, we also tackle the pivotal role of indie filmmakers in shaping a vibrant film industry, especially in light of recent strikes against the AMPTP. More so, we extend an invitation to you - yes, you, our treasured listeners - to join this journey. By watching, rating, and reviewing HERD, you're not simply showing support; you're helping independent films prove their worth in a sea of studio-backed blockbusters. And in this digital era, your ratings and reviews directly impact a film's positioning and success.

    And a special shoutout to the wonderful people of Poplar Bluff, Missouri - as well as Doniphan and Van Buren...your support and graciousness to our cast and crew are at the center of what made shooting this film possible.
