ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do you shoot a short film in New York and finish it in Brazil? On this episode of the Filmmaker Mixer Podcast, Brazilian filmmakers Niccola and Maximilion Civita break down the creative and technical journey behind PLAN B, a 17-minute period dark comedy set in late-1990s New York.
The filmmakers discuss creating a story about a small-time mushroom dealer and his pregnant girlfriend, balancing comedy with impending parenthood, and collaborating with Pródigo Filmes, Confraria de Sons e Charutos, and composer João Erbetta during post-production in São Paulo.
PLAN B has its world premiere at the 33rd Austin Film Festival, screening Sunday, November 1 at 12:50 PM and Wednesday, November 4 at 3:00 PM at Galaxy Theater. Filmmakers will learn about cross-border collaboration, camera department experience, creative problem-solving, and the realities of bringing an independent film from production through post.
