Filmmaker Ryan Spindell (THE MORTUARY COLLECTION, THE BABYSITTER MURDERS short film) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey. Learning early on that the only way to do this was to do it entirely himself, Ryan details the steps he took from a guy with a dream of making films\u2026 to making short films that caught the attention of festivals and industry executives\u2026 to the endless \u201cwater bottle tours\u201d where he was going in circles as executives told him that \u201che couldn\u2019t make a feature film until he wrote one\u201d and then \u201cthat he couldn\u2019t make his feature script because he hadn\u2019t already directed a feature\u201d\u2026 to experiencing firsthand how script development can sometimes ruin a film before it even starts shooting\u2026 to taking his art into his own hands and independently creating one of the best anthology films in recent years with THE MORTUARY COLLECTION (currently available on VOD, Digital, and DVD\/Blu-Ray with tons of special features)\u2026 Ryan\u2019s journey speaks directly to so very many of today\u2019s aspiring filmmakers who are trying to get a foot in the door and actually make a movie instead of just talking about making a movie. Dr. Arwen attempts to help a patient seeking advice for a foreign dilemma and comes up short for the first time ever, the group discusses the ingredients that make a solid anthology film, and Ryan explains why \u201cHollywood is the only place that can kill you with encouragement.\u201d ","author_name":"The Movie Crypt","author_url":"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TheMovieCrypt","html":"
