“From Pocket to Projector: Discover How Jamie Grefe Filmed Two Movies on His Phone!”
Jamie Grefe
Yeah. This actually might be, I don’t think I don’t even know if I knew Greg when I did, what was it? Episode 306. Yeah. I don’t know if I talked about him in that, but actually I’ve, I usually operate, you know, so sometimes people come to me and I think in life I had this one person come to me, Christopher Cajones. I don’t think he’d mind me saying his name, but he was an actor used to act a lot, but he approached me at one point in my life and was really adamant about doing something with me or reading my work and giving me comments on it. As a producer, I think he was trying to produce at the time. He introduced me to somebody who worked with Greg. So again, it was all, and that took years to cultivate though. Like it wasn’t like just like, Oh, here’s Jamie. Oh, Jamie meet this person. Oh, I need a writer dude. Here’s something nobody ever says is like, “I need a writer”. You know, it’s like, it’s like people are like, whoa, you’re a writer. Like don’t pitch me something. Please don’t send me something. Like, you know, I’ve already got like, be careful with that. At least that’s my, I’m, I’m always very like hesitant to kind of put, push my work on other people. Cause I know how quickly those things can get pushed off. But with Greg, it was just a long, slow process. And you know what solidified it, is that we went out for dinner one time. We said, like, you know, let’s meet for dinner. And I think it has to come from that producer. Like that producer, there has to be a need that producer has to need something. They have to need a screenplay or somebody who can write or somebody who can write their ideas or somebody who can give them things that are going to make them money. And then that person, it has to be, yeah, it has to be able to do it obviously, but you have to be able to like resonate with the person. You have to be able to laugh with them, talk with them, understand each other. I mean, it’s a business relationship. It’s a friendship. It’s a mentorship. I mean, that’s how it was with me. So, it was like meeting and then slowly writing things for him. And then once that started, I think once he, once he saw that I could do things relatively quickly and then up to par, you know, we just, and I think like minds will, we’ll keep, you know, we had a bond, right? We have a bond. So, we stuck together.
