In this episode, I am joined by filmmaker Mark Mc Auley to discuss the creative process behind his feature film aWake, which was shot in a single day!

The discussion covers his entire creative workflow, philosophical approach to filmmaking, production tactics, and loads more. Some of the topics covered include:

• Adapting a short film into to a feature
• Using single takes to produce a feature in one day
• Elevating “stage play” ideas with a cinematic treatment
• The importance of setting rules for your production
• How to build your own filmmaking model
• Cultivating resilience for long term success
• Creating buzz and navigating festivals
