How he self taught himself film-making and learnt to edit and understand VFX and graphics because he has no choice. How he didn't want to make a short but a feature first and how he raised finance using his background in selling to secure investment . for his first feature - Pandorica, shot at night in outdoor locations - high sensitivity camera used, in combination with DIY space lights to shoot a post-apocalyptic forest setting.How he pushed on after his first feature onto his second feature - Redwood, which was a bigger budget, vampire film set in eastern Europe and the lessons he learnt from first feature he carried over to second feature.His third film Black Site, out later this year, is a back to his roots, lower budget, exploitation John Carpenter-esque horror thriller.We discuss what actors look for in a director - and vice versa and producing your own work - and find good collaborators. We discuss his fourth film - Stairs and his 5th feature G-Lock which are both now in postPLUS loads of advice for filmmakers new and oldBlack Site TRAILER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3paRCrafmUTom Paton WEBSITE https://www.tompatonfilm.com/Follow Tom on TWITTER here https://twitter.com/TomPatonFilmLINKSOur Sponsors this week THE TRACKING BOARDThis episode is sponsored by The Tracking Board, featuring the Launch Pad screenwriting competitions.

Jim Cummings joins Giles Alderson (The Dare) and Christian James (Fanged Up) to talk about his debut feature film Thunder Road.Jim wrote, directed and starred in the film which was developed from his short film of the same name which won the grand Jury prize in Sundance.He tells us about his journey from making shorts as a producer to doing it yourself, where the idea for Thunder Road came from and how he ended up the lead in his own short and subsequent feature film.Thunder Road is a hilarious tragi-comedy which follows the life of Jim, a police officer on the verge of a mental breakdown following the death of his mother and the breakdown of his marriage. Thunder Road is released i the UK on Friday 31st May Having self-funded the film via Kickstarter, it’s a testament to independent film-making and is a real passion project for Jim. The film also has lots of interesting angles to explore such as how it has had the seal of approval from Bruce Springsteen whose song it is named after, how it deals with topical mental health including the stigma around men being able to show emotion and it’s comment on the current state of the American police force. Links Thunder Road trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFSrtVN1i6A Thunder Road CINEMA LISTINGS http://thunderroadfilm.co.uk/seances Jim Cummings on Twitter @jimmycthatsme LINKS Our NEW collaborators and Sponsors - ScreenCraft.org SCREENCRAFT - The ScreenCraft team are dedicated to helping connect emerging writers and filmmakers with career opportunities.
