“From Pocket to Projector: Discover How Jamie Grefe Filmed Two Movies on His Phone!”
Jamie Grefe
Absolutely. Thank you. Yeah. So, I mean, this distributor, so this, so my network is not super huge at all. Like we’re all limited by who we know and what we’re able to, you know, who we’re able to get, you know, to work with us. But cinema epoch, Cineridge Entertainment, Greg Hatanaka has been a mentor, a friend, a comrade for, for many years. And I’ve written a lot of scripts for him. Some produce, some not. I’ve done assistant directing for him, whatever. I’ve been in the trenches with him now for years. So again, having some drinks, having some dinner, he was very impressed with what I was able to do. And, um, as kind of like a Roger Corman-esque figure, he’s very, and actually he’s very interested in this idea of directing as performance. And so I saw him direct and I helped him direct a couple of movies this last year calledvone’s called Backfire, the other is called Boiling Point. And they were all, they were both unscripted. So, I saw how he was able to operate in an unscripted context. But his, he had like, like 30 people on set, like huge, like actors and producers and just tons of people. So, I saw how that was able to be done. And I knew from that, you know, how he could, he could kind of do that. So I knew I could pull it off. And when he, you know, was kind of joking with me like, okay, you know, let you do something. Let’s do something. Let’s do something. And he’s been prone to throw out ideas that are a little bizarre. So, you know, the fact that he even said, okay, I’ll let you do it, but can you do two movies in one day?
