00:03:27,229 --> 00:03:28,582 and R Carlton. 91 00:03:28,980 --> 00:03:29,878 I loved 92 00:03:30,652 --> 00:03:32,802 production. As soon as I was able to, 93 00:03:32,882 --> 00:03:34,793 you know, sell a Tv spot and get 94 00:03:34,793 --> 00:03:37,195 on set for, you know, making a Tv 95 00:03:37,195 --> 00:03:39,423 commercial. I just thought that was the best 96 00:03:39,423 --> 00:03:42,230 thing Ever to hear my words come alive 97 00:03:42,367 --> 00:03:44,299 in, you know, in the actors 98 00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:47,010 And so I kind of, you know, got 99 00:03:47,010 --> 00:03:49,330 hooked on that drug and figured out a 100 00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:51,490 way to make my way into the the 101 00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:54,639 film industry from there. And I did some 102 00:03:54,696 --> 00:03:56,765 teaching down at Ring College of Art Design 103 00:03:56,765 --> 00:03:57,879 in Sara of Florida, 104 00:03:58,436 --> 00:04:00,266 then moved to Richmond, 105 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:02,696 And I'm now teaching at Vc 106 00:04:03,393 --> 00:04:06,187 in their arts school in the cinema program. 107 00:04:06,426 --> 00:04:08,582 To what prompted you did Leave Florida come 108 00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:09,300 to Vc. 109 00:04:09,873 --> 00:04:12,185 My husband got a job in Richmond actually. 110 00:04:12,504 --> 00:04:14,737 He works in the investment industry. So it's 111 00:04:14,737 --> 00:04:17,607 the complete opposite of Right. Right. Creative work 112 00:04:17,607 --> 00:04:19,212 that I do. But that's good cause at 113 00:04:19,212 --> 00:04:22,068 least he can support you. Exactly. Yeah. He 114 00:04:22,068 --> 00:04:23,893 took care of the taxes and the numbers 115 00:04:23,893 --> 00:04:25,480 and all of our finances, which is great. 116 00:04:25,638 --> 00:04:27,084 And I just get to go But fun 117 00:04:27,084 --> 00:04:29,561 making movies. But Right. But we moved, actually, 118 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,676 August 20 20, right, Smack dab middle below 119 00:04:32,676 --> 00:04:33,176 with 120 00:04:33,715 --> 00:04:36,280 Yeah. Which is interesting because we couldn't even 121 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,032 meet our neighbors, you know, for a long 122 00:04:38,032 --> 00:04:39,568 time. And then 123 00:04:39,944 --> 00:04:41,936 once kind of we were coming out of 124 00:04:41,936 --> 00:04:43,051 the trenches of Covid, 125 00:04:43,781 --> 00:04:45,685 and colleges were starting to hire again, 126 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,858 you know, I applied to Vc and their 127 00:04:49,334 --> 00:04:50,128 cinema program, 128 00:04:50,699 --> 00:04:53,597 and started teaching as an adjunct professor there 129 00:04:53,736 --> 00:04:54,955 in 20 130 00:04:55,414 --> 00:04:58,450 22, I believe. Great. Your resume got all 131 00:04:58,450 --> 00:05:00,298 kinds of stuff from... Obviously, writing to be 132 00:05:00,298 --> 00:05:01,729 in an Ep to being in a production 133 00:05:01,729 --> 00:05:04,989 manager and a script supervisor which caught my 134 00:05:04,989 --> 00:05:06,420 attention because that's something that a lot of 135 00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:08,487 people have no idea what a script supervisor 136 00:05:08,487 --> 00:05:10,176 does. So why don't you give us a 137 00:05:10,176 --> 00:05:10,676 little 138 00:05:11,054 --> 00:05:13,447 breakdown basically of what a script supervisor does? 139 00:05:13,687 --> 00:05:15,203 And how did you get trained for something 140 00:05:15,203 --> 00:05:17,685 like that? Yeah. So, I've done a lot 141 00:05:17,685 --> 00:05:19,933 of work, you know, writing and producing, but 142 00:05:19,989 --> 00:05:22,292 those are really above the line positions. And 143 00:05:22,292 --> 00:05:24,278 so they're really hard to get, and it's 144 00:05:24,278 --> 00:05:25,414 really hard to 145 00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:28,583 to get time on set. I really got 146 00:05:28,583 --> 00:05:30,887 into script supervising as a way to get 147 00:05:30,887 --> 00:05:31,387 more 148 00:05:31,761 --> 00:05:34,564 experience on set. That's smart. And so 149 00:05:35,115 --> 00:05:38,235 last summer, I signed up for a training 150 00:05:38,235 --> 00:05:40,735 program. I went through Daniela Ion 151 00:05:41,355 --> 00:05:44,074 director Whisper script supervisor training program. 152 00:05:44,489 --> 00:05:45,129 She's done, 153 00:05:45,848 --> 00:05:47,147 my big factory wedding 154 00:05:47,526 --> 00:05:50,402 and suits and s in a simple favor. 155 00:05:50,562 --> 00:05:52,240 So she's got a lot of amazing experience. 156 00:05:52,734 --> 00:05:54,724 And she's got this program that you go 157 00:05:54,724 --> 00:05:56,317 through and you do, you know, your homework 158 00:05:56,317 --> 00:05:58,706 assignments. And then you get certified. 159 00:05:59,184 --> 00:06:00,776 I've done a number of short films. 160 00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:05,073 Thus far. And then my own project, I'm 161 00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:07,293 planning to script supervised that when that feature 162 00:06:07,293 --> 00:06:09,533 goes into production as well. And so what 163 00:06:09,533 --> 00:06:12,885 exactly does a script supervisor do? A script 164 00:06:12,885 --> 00:06:16,237 supervisor is in charge of continuity for the 165 00:06:16,237 --> 00:06:18,639 entire production. You know, when you get to 166 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,066 set and you're shooting a film, 167 00:06:20,621 --> 00:06:22,919 you don't shoot it in order. You should 168 00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:24,425 start seeing 1 and go all the way 169 00:06:24,425 --> 00:06:26,901 to, seen 150 or whatever it might be. 170 00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:29,285 Right. You know, your Ad, will take that 171 00:06:29,285 --> 00:06:31,509 script and break it down and reorganize the 172 00:06:31,509 --> 00:06:33,550 schedules so that your, you know, your blocked 173 00:06:33,669 --> 00:06:35,587 shooting all of your scenes in 1 location 174 00:06:35,587 --> 00:06:36,946 on 1 day and then you move to 175 00:06:36,946 --> 00:06:38,863 a different location,

you know, you have a 176 00:06:38,863 --> 00:06:41,920 script supervisor who makes sure that even though 177 00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:44,013 you're kind of going back and forth 178 00:06:44,392 --> 00:06:47,029 in this puzzle of a schedule between all 179 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:47,928 of these scenes 180 00:06:48,467 --> 00:06:50,225 that when you get to the editing room, 181 00:06:50,799 --> 00:06:52,895 everything is gonna cut together seamlessly 182 00:06:53,273 --> 00:06:55,427 because they've tracked all of the continuity video 183 00:06:55,427 --> 00:06:58,061 of key props and wardrobe and hair and 184 00:06:58,061 --> 00:07:00,621 makeup, that and even the coverage that you're 185 00:07:00,621 --> 00:07:02,925 shooting, making sure that the characters eye lines 186 00:07:02,925 --> 00:07:03,560 will match up. 187 00:07:04,196 --> 00:07:07,707 We are the director's second brain because... We're 188 00:07:07,707 --> 00:07:10,412 looking at all those details and we're catching 189 00:07:10,412 --> 00:07:13,276 all of those things that, hopefully. Yeah. Hopefully, 190 00:07:13,435 --> 00:07:14,310 catching all the ways. 191 00:07:15,203 --> 00:07:16,961 I that well but, you know, if those 192 00:07:16,961 --> 00:07:19,677 things don't get caught, then it takes people 193 00:07:19,677 --> 00:07:21,928 out of the story. Right? Right lives like, 194 00:07:22,087 --> 00:07:23,682 oh, gosh. I'm watching Game of Thrones and 195 00:07:23,682 --> 00:07:26,153 there's a Starbucks Customers out. Just gonna mention 196 00:07:26,153 --> 00:07:29,022 yeah. Yeah. I am no longer in Westeros. 197 00:07:29,261 --> 00:07:29,795 Right? He 198 00:07:30,708 --> 00:07:32,852 Footnote. The scene that she's referring to is 199 00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:35,313 that a Starbucks coffee cup was mistakenly left 200 00:07:35,313 --> 00:07:36,981 in a shot in 1 scene in game 201 00:07:36,981 --> 00:07:37,537 of Thrones. 202 00:07:38,827 --> 00:07:40,502 Yeah. I so we we make sure that, 203 00:07:40,582 --> 00:07:41,960 you know, there's gonna be 204 00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:44,332 the... You're staying in that world and that 205 00:07:44,332 --> 00:07:46,420 believable call in the director can just focus 206 00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:47,137 on the performance. 207 00:07:47,775 --> 00:07:49,050 Sure. And it can be something as simple 208 00:07:49,050 --> 00:07:50,963 as, okay. He had 3 buttons un buttons 209 00:07:50,963 --> 00:07:52,557 here. So when we shoot the scene the 210 00:07:52,557 --> 00:07:54,637 next day. 3 buttons or the cup was 211 00:07:54,637 --> 00:07:56,620 half full in this shot, so we gotta 212 00:07:56,620 --> 00:07:57,811 make sure it's half. That those are the 213 00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,636 kind of things that stand out usually to 214 00:07:59,636 --> 00:08:01,874 me because I obviously, look for those continuity 215 00:08:01,874 --> 00:08:02,906 things. And those are the kind of things 216 00:08:02,906 --> 00:08:06,241 that script supervisors all over. Yes.

Exactly. We 217 00:08:06,241 --> 00:08:07,988 also serve as the eyes and ears of 218 00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:11,098 the the editor onset. The editors are typically 219 00:08:11,098 --> 00:08:12,709 not on set. They don't know 220 00:08:13,081 --> 00:08:15,461 what happened on any given day. We document 221 00:08:15,461 --> 00:08:16,730 all of our... All of the notes every 222 00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:18,969 day into reports that then go to the 223 00:08:18,969 --> 00:08:20,879 editor and the post team. So that's the 224 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:21,913 other thing you do is you keep a 225 00:08:21,913 --> 00:08:23,584 log of every take and tell them which 226 00:08:23,584 --> 00:08:25,573 tank is chosen, which is the alternate safe 227 00:08:25,573 --> 00:08:26,607 float, stuff like that too. 228 00:08:27,338 --> 00:08:29,566 Yes. Exactly. But it's fascinating and it's interesting 229 00:08:29,566 --> 00:08:31,635 to know that somebody sits there watching all 230 00:08:31,635 --> 00:08:32,988 that stuff, like I do when I'm sitting 231 00:08:32,988 --> 00:08:33,545 in the movies. 232 00:08:35,152 --> 00:08:36,586 Surprise guests drop in. 233 00:08:37,543 --> 00:08:39,296 And I wanna talk about the movie that 234 00:08:39,296 --> 00:08:40,730 you talked about that you're working on because 235 00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:42,579 somebody wanted to drop in and... Share it 236 00:08:42,579 --> 00:08:43,937 with us a little bit. Hold on 1 237 00:08:43,937 --> 00:08:44,976 second. Let's see you who this is. 238 00:08:46,175 --> 00:08:48,812 Footnote. Max Fisher is a cinematographer, an owner 239 00:08:48,812 --> 00:08:50,890 of gear head camera. Here in Richmond. 240 00:08:51,942 --> 00:08:53,856 Well, hello, Max. Welcome to Sift.

Thanks for joining us. So how 246 00:09:03,922 --> 00:09:06,954 are you involved with Vivian? But I decided 247 00:09:06,954 --> 00:09:08,470 to make an independent film. 248 00:09:09,044 --> 00:09:11,918 And I reached out to a producer that 249 00:09:12,077 --> 00:09:13,674 I'm close with that I work with a 250 00:09:13,674 --> 00:09:16,947 lot.

Which some don't consider a part 283 00:10:28,773 --> 00:10:29,410 of the genre. 284 00:10:30,524 --> 00:10:32,991 They're very visual films, not a whole lot 285 00:10:32,991 --> 00:10:35,140 of character development, the music plays a huge 286 00:10:35,140 --> 00:10:36,971 part in it takes place in the seventies, 287 00:10:37,384 --> 00:10:39,225 we did not have it take place in 288 00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:39,705 Italy, 289 00:10:40,264 --> 00:10:42,504 although, would be there. Sure. 290 00:10:43,384 --> 00:10:45,784 And it's the story about a boarding school 291 00:10:45,784 --> 00:10:46,284 for 292 00:10:46,599 --> 00:10:49,246 orphan youth that came from, 293 00:10:49,939 --> 00:10:52,086 upper class, the school has a lot to 294 00:10:52,086 --> 00:10:53,915 hide. I'll say that. Of course, there's an 295 00:10:53,915 --> 00:10:55,999 evil head mistress. Right. Gotta have an evil 296 00:10:55,999 --> 00:10:56,477 head, mister. 297 00:10:57,354 --> 00:10:59,743 Just like Superior as it it starts out 298 00:10:59,743 --> 00:11:02,292 kind of normal, and then turns into a 299 00:11:02,292 --> 00:11:04,459 a bit of a supernatural twist. And then 300 00:11:04,459 --> 00:11:05,657 we have a big twist at the end. 301 00:11:05,977 --> 00:11:07,734 Most of the filming took place at Dover 302 00:11:07,734 -->

00:11:10,930 hall, which is a big grand estate Right 303 00:11:11,184 --> 00:11:13,024 out in Mannequin Sabbath. They do a lot 304 00:11:13,024 --> 00:11:14,465 of weddings and corporate events. 305 00:11:15,024 --> 00:11:16,544 We started right after the New year. We 306 00:11:16,544 --> 00:11:19,105 started maybe January fifteenth. Shot for 3 weeks. 307 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,855 Which was a great timing because 308 00:11:22,233 --> 00:11:25,347 nobody was working. I mean, I ended up 309 00:11:25,347 --> 00:11:27,662 hiring a lot of my close friends and 310 00:11:27,662 --> 00:11:28,380 work associates, 311 00:11:28,954 --> 00:11:30,867 paying them whatever I could afford. And they 312 00:11:30,867 --> 00:11:32,700 ended up being very happy for the work 313 00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,091 because there was nothing going on. This was 314 00:11:35,091 --> 00:11:36,765 all at the heels of the writers in 315 00:11:36,765 --> 00:11:38,132 act strike, and that was part of the 316 00:11:38,132 --> 00:11:39,723 reason I actually made the film. And you 317 00:11:39,723 --> 00:11:40,837 said, well, that was part of the reason 318 00:11:40,837 --> 00:11:42,349 you made it why Because you had time 319 00:11:42,349 --> 00:11:43,861 during the strike to come up with it. 320 00:11:44,274 --> 00:11:45,947 A lot of times, I was watching a 321 00:11:45,947 --> 00:11:47,940 lot of movies. I love horror movies. I 322 00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:50,410 love Gia movies, and I watched Spirit for 323 00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:52,498 probably the 20 fifth time. And when it 324 00:11:52,498 --> 00:11:54,913 was over it's, like, man, I would kill 325 00:11:55,291 --> 00:11:57,365 to shoot a movie that looks like that 326 00:11:57,365 --> 00:11:59,774 because it has really strong visuals. Right. And 327 00:11:59,934 --> 00:12:01,535 I said, well, why don't I shoot a 328 00:12:01,535 --> 00:12:03,375 movie like that? And I started reaching out 329 00:12:03,375 --> 00:12:05,615 to people I work with? So what's next 330 00:12:05,615 --> 00:12:07,215 do you have you planning to do the 331 00:12:07,215 --> 00:12:10,110 festival circuit? Once it's locked and... Finished. I'm 332 00:12:10,110 --> 00:12:12,429 not a big festival guy... A filmmaker kind 333 00:12:12,429 --> 00:12:12,829 of guy, 334 00:12:13,470 --> 00:12:16,610 but we have chosen to select few to 335 00:12:17,082 --> 00:12:20,816 submitted to. Fortunately, Vivian also developing a horror 336 00:12:20,816 --> 00:12:22,722 film, so she has done a ton of 337 00:12:22,722 --> 00:12:24,390 research on that already. So she's helped pick 338 00:12:24,390 --> 00:12:25,129 a couple 339 00:12:25,438 --> 00:12:27,344 that she thinks are are valuable. 340 00:12:28,138 --> 00:12:29,886 It's kind of the next business step. And 341 00:12:29,886 --> 00:12:31,712 then I also have some industry connections. Obviously, 342 00:12:31,871 --> 00:12:33,514 been in the industry for many, many years 343 00:12:33,634 --> 00:12:35,702 so I'm hoping that either way we can 344 00:12:35,702 --> 00:12:37,770 get some sort of distribution. And it's obviously 345 00:12:37,770 --> 00:12:40,236 a genre film. Right. Right. It's not for 346 00:12:40,236 --> 00:12:40,316 everyone. 347 00:12:41,604 --> 00:12:43,754 But I think the people that do like 348 00:12:43,754 --> 00:12:45,585 this type of film are really gonna enjoy. 349 00:12:45,983 --> 00:12:48,394 I love horror. It is the 1 genre. 350 00:12:49,024 --> 00:12:53,671 Where you have really really strong female protagonist. 351 00:12:53,969 --> 00:12:56,122 Yep. Which is also true of Saturn area, 352 00:12:56,282 --> 00:12:58,276 the film Max and I made together. 353 00:12:59,009 --> 00:13:00,466 And it's also 354 00:13:00,844 --> 00:13:03,260 1 of the genres where women have 355 00:13:03,717 --> 00:13:06,884 more lines than men in the film. So 356 00:13:07,163 --> 00:13:07,720 I love her. 357 00:13:08,754 --> 00:13:10,027 So you mentioned, 358 00:13:11,299 --> 00:13:13,606 and we were actually lucky enough that we 359 00:13:13,606 --> 00:13:16,331 have, Claudio Simon Eddie, who did the score 360 00:13:16,331 --> 00:13:17,288 for the original. 361 00:13:18,245 --> 00:13:20,158 Oh, wow. Going to be scoring our film 362 00:13:20,158 --> 00:13:21,992 as well. So it's gonna move over to 363 00:13:22,072 --> 00:13:24,471 Italy, Right.

Hi. 372 00:13:41,354 --> 00:13:43,268 He was talking about a producer. He mentioned 373 00:13:43,268 --> 00:13:45,821 briefly what a producer does, And I know 374 00:13:45,821 --> 00:13:47,815 obviously, you were producer on that movie. So 375 00:13:47,815 --> 00:13:49,888 why don't you explain what the differences between 376 00:13:49,888 --> 00:13:52,844 an executive producer a producer and a production 377 00:13:52,844 --> 00:13:54,983 manager. Yeah. So... And because I get a 378 00:13:54,983 --> 00:13:56,197 producer is typically 379 00:13:56,648 --> 00:13:58,154 someone who is... 380 00:13:58,804 --> 00:14:01,752 Financing the project or is able because of 381 00:14:01,752 --> 00:14:04,381 the connections that they have to package the 382 00:14:04,381 --> 00:14:06,612 project. So that might mean bringing on, you 383 00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:08,148 know, a particular director 384 00:14:08,698 --> 00:14:11,560 or a set of actors that might make 385 00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:14,977 the project more attractive

to financier years. And 386 00:14:14,977 --> 00:14:17,735 they stay involved, you know, with the production 387 00:14:18,252 --> 00:14:20,799 from prep production, production and post. They make 388 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:22,948 a lot of the the big decisions, especially 389 00:14:22,948 --> 00:14:24,142 when it comes to money and where the 390 00:14:24,142 --> 00:14:26,467 money is gonna be spent. Right. They may 391 00:14:26,467 --> 00:14:27,981 or may not be involved in the day 392 00:14:27,981 --> 00:14:30,532 to day business of the film, whereas your 393 00:14:30,532 --> 00:14:32,605 producer is really the 1 that is involved 394 00:14:32,605 --> 00:14:35,014 in the day to day business.
